Yeah just seen that. Can't imagine CC final going ahead now...
Can we play a full strength team tonight!?
Long shot as squad been named......

Why wouldn’t it go ahead?

I can't see it not going ahead. Can you imagine the cost of hiring Wembley twice with no paying punters...

Still, never let the facts get in the way of a good panic...

Beat me to it.
Thought you had to have 7 missing to cancel a game anyway?

Re: CCF | Salford Red Devils (W) : Tue Oct 13, 2020 4:12 pm  

Surely not fair on Salford for such a big game. Their trainings been cancelled so far this week too....
Could be some travel restrictions as a result too......

Anyone see what happened with Juve vs Napoli?
Absolute farce.....

Whilst it might not be fair and I would be unhappy if it was Leeds in the same position.
But I really do not think you can cancel this particular game at such short notice.
Their reserves did pretty well against HKR so they could always draft in some of them.
On the other hand it could be a complete bluff just to make us complacent on the day which I truly don`t believe is the case by the way.

Cuthbertson walker smith holroyd all playing tonight, interesting

Re: CCF | Salford Red Devils (W) : Tue Oct 13, 2020 5:49 pm  

So who was missing for Salford today, it must be two of them that are the positives...

Re: CCF | Salford Red Devils (W) : Tue Oct 13, 2020 5:50 pm  

The final will definitely go ahead; nobody in the game thinks otherwise.
Very unlucky for Salford but we still have to beat them.

Wouldn’t be surprised on tonight’s game if Mustapha was given a spot in the 21 man squad.

Myler; Briscoe Sutcliffe Hurrell Handley; Lui Gale; Seumanufagai Leeming Oledzki; Martin Mellor; Prior. Dwyer Donaldson Holroyd, Smith / Cuthbertson / Mustapha

Walker McLelland.

I think it will be as above with Smith the final spot. We need our big trucks down the middle and then we have the balance in the rest of the side now to cause problems.

We need to pick the best side to win the game of course, but for me I think also reward the players who played so well against Wigan to get us there. If you contributed in that game and then got dropped for the final you'd be (rightfully) peeved.

I much prefer Prior at LF (this was always going to be the case). He has a high workrate and a really good offload game.

If we're on I don't think Salford will be able to live with this side, but strange things happen in Cup Finals sometimes.... I'm still scarred by the "limping Senior" game against Hull!
