Thoughts?

We must surely be over the beard quota.

Thought the ground staff had excelled with their pitch marking.

When Talanoa comes back in we're going to have 2 of the fast play of the ball/penalty winning metre making wingers in the league. Both him and Fonua have similar strengths and that momentum is gonna be great for our forwards n Houghton too play off. Fonua showed he's gonna be hard to handle.
All the new signings had great games. Manu looks like he's gonna add some real mongrel to us. Pritchard looks what he promised to be.
watts n taylor were great. But I thought green and Bowden had good spells too. When ellis is back I it will be a strong start and rotation prop wise!

think Bowden will make the starting 17 for Salford

looking forward to some of our attempts to pick a starting 13 for salford

oh and i thought sneyd played really well today considering he had a torn bicep

You still going for Hadley at loose forward?

I for one can't wait to see the battle between Fonua and Carney in round one. Presuming Carney will play on the left. Some big bodies going to be knocked about.

After yesterdays performance, I hope we see Michaels and Carlos on that left hand side. Those two and Pritchard were great. Exciting times, but don't want to get carried away!

Who ever plays on that wing, i'll be amazed if they dont score 20 plus tries in the season. Id go with talanoa, think he'll have a field day. Got grest cover for that posistion though, agree, exciting times

I forgot about him! Radford has some tough decisions to make.

Yes i would play Hadley at 13 in this team.
To be honest i can see four or five players utilised by Radford at 13 this season as i dont think we need a specialised 13 from what we saw yesterday.

Agree, that's one of the biggest things noticeable from yesterday - we looked a lot more fluid and faster with the ball without Westerman's involvement.

Hadley green or Thompson to start games there for me. Hadley is probably out the pick for 1st game due to missing yesterday. Thompson due due his versatility would be better suited to bench imo but that said he went well yesterday there. When ellis is fit as well its a hell of a pack!!

My 17 would be on yesterday performance excluding the injured Ellis
