I thought they would have been better odds on a Salford win.

firstly Salford are a bit of a bogey team and 2/ They are playing better than us at the minute.

Although it appears that we have turned a corner, the Hull FC game was lost until another one of our squad sold his soul to the devil to conjure up Golden Point time and TBF, Bradford scored far too easily in the 2nd half...

We have never been favourites against yourselves and I fear that if we aren't playing to full capacity, you will do a number on us similar to what Stains did, although I'm hoping for 3 wins on the trot

those are the better odds, would not of been surprised to see salford priced up at 5/6 faves for this one.

the fact its 11/8 (and bigger now) is a decent price on what we know... still hope the Giants win like and the bookies have priced up correctly!

No robbo. About time they gave him chance to get right. Guess it will be bailey in the halves then, as given Andersons lack of faith in the youngsters I can't see Connor going straight in there.
Good to see leroy and larne back.

1. Scott Grix
2, Jermaine McGillvary
3. Leroy Cudjoe
4. Joe Wardle
5. Aaron Murphy
6. Danny Brough
8. Eorl Crabtree
9. Shaun Lunt
10. Craig Kopczak
12. Jason Chan
13. Chris Bailey
14. Michael Lawrence
15. Larne Patrick
17. Ukuma Ta’ai
18. Kyle Wood
20. Antonio Kaufusi
21. Anthony Mullally
23. Josh Johnson
27. Jake Connor

must be giving robinson a rest with two games coming up in 4 days as with broughton. As we have options in both positions with bailey and murphy. So makes sense

think they will line up like so

Grix
mcgillvary
cudjoe
wardle
murphy

lunt
brough
bailey

crabtree
kopczak
chan
lawrence
patrick

bench-
Kaufusi
Mullally
wood
taai

johnson and connor to drop out.

will be interesting to see how bailey goes.
patrick/taai/chan need big games... patrick may be rusty though

Re: up next - salford : Wed Apr 16, 2014 6:02 pm  

Not sure which side he's on but would rather have broughton against Johnson than smurph, if he breaks he won't be caught.

Re: up next - salford : Wed Apr 16, 2014 8:02 pm  

Robinson was limping heavily across the stadium bridge heading to the team photos with the fans this week.

Re: up next - salford : Wed Apr 16, 2014 8:22 pm  

Really interesting to see how bailey goes if he is moved into the halves. Maybe a blessing in disguise, with robbo having to miss a game or too. That said, robbo has been one of our better, if not best player so far this season. But if Bailey and brough can click, then, robbo getting back into the team via interchange hooker may improve balance and depth of our match day squad.

Hope mulally grasps opportunity with both hands. Great to see Leroy and larne back in the fold. Seems a very quick turnaround for larne. Hope he's not rushed back. If he is good to go, then he really bolsters the pack.

Surprised to see no broughton, hopefully just rested.

Strong looking side that. I'd be tempted to switch Kaufusi with Eorl or Koppy to have a bit of snarl from the start.
