D.Griffin
Rapira/Walton - Can't decide
J Walne
Evalds

I wonder if Evalds could do a Peter Edwards?

Better shut up before I get accused of trying to shift all the players around again.

I would love to see Gaz Owen given a chance.He deserves the oppurtunity to show what he can do.Either way its a really tough call.Do we stick with Tomkins and his experience for such a big game or go with one of our own who will be with us next year and see if he rises to the challenge.
Still a big doubt over Locke so if thats the case i would have Evalds at FB again and Owen on the bench.
Another very tight call between Rapira and Walton.Both been doing very well recently,especially Rapira with his tough defence.Think Walton offers more going forward but defence is going to be tested big time against Leeds.
Its a very strong looking squad

Really tough squad to pick from, this is where Harris will earn his crust. Good to see Gareth Owen included, although as much as I would like to see him given a run out before the end of the year you cant help but sway towards Tomkins for this game purely on his experience.

If Locke doesn't play, but Owen on the bench. If he does then Evalds needs to take up the last spot.

PS - wouldn't leave Walton out, he's been fantastic lately.

Nice dilemma for Harris to have.

Cant disagree about Walton,he has a bit of mongrel about him as the Aussies say.

Both Salford and Leeds have very strong looking squads going into Friday. Not getting excited about Locke making his home debut until I see him run out with the team! Lets hope we put up a good show infront of the Sky cameras!

After watching so many squads that self-selected themselves, what a joy to see an excess richness of players from which the coach can choose.
