I can’t see Morley getting as much game as he did last season so I’m looking forward to seeing some of the young lad step up. In particular I’m excited to see how Carl Foster goes, hopefully he can become one of a string of young props from the championship (ok I know he was only technically a saints player) to make an impact in super league. I’m also excited to see how Mason Caton-Brown progresses, he started off like a house on fire, and made an immediate impact on the team and positive impression on the supporters, I think this was due to the lack of speed we had earlier in the season. With a full preseason under him, I can only see him improving, but at the moment Josh Griffin would be above him for a starting spot I’d imagine.
I’m also keen to see how Theo will be used this year and if Niall Evalds can continue his form from last season it might be difficult for Ben Jones-Bishop to get in above him! Hopefully we also start the season with a fully fit Kevin Locke, we have seen glimpses of what he can do, but it’s exciting to think he was probably only playing at about 50%.
Add into the mix strike players such as Johnson, Sa'u, Hock, and grafters such as Dixon, Hansen, Walne. I've not even mentioned the half back partnership of Chase and Dobson either, then it is a very exciting team.
On paper we have the team to challenge the top 6, no doubt about it, but remember peeps this is Salford so I won’t be getting too carried away and I'd settle for 8th!!
