Salford at home : Wed Jun 26, 2019 7:11 am  

Seems like forever since we were at home but I’m looking forward to Friday. Assuming everyone is fit, how would you line up if you were picking the 17? I’d go as follows.

Hardaker
Marshall
Hankinson (kicking duty)
Gildart
Burgess
Williams
Leuluai
Clubb
Powell
Navarette
Farrell
Greenwood
O’Loughlin

Bullock
Smithies
Sammut
Partington

Hard to change a side that’s finally on a run of winning games. I’ve said all along that we just need some consistency in the squad and we’ve got that now. Good to have some choices for a change but Isa has played every game so I’d give him a week off. Sarginson still rated 50/50 so no point taking any chances. A good win on Friday and up to 4th. Our season is not dead yet, have faith folks, have faith!

Hard to see him leaving Isa out. If Greenwood starts I can't see him doing 80 mins. Isa on the bench for me instead of Smithies. Morgan's 18 perhaps time he had a week off?
Agree with the rest.

I'd probably be more inclined to rest him next week, seeing as we have Saints the week after. Him in for either Smithies if Greenwood is fully fit, or give Greenwood another week to recover otherwise.

Other than that, same team as yours

Same as last week I'd expect, wouldn't mind Sammut getting a bit longer on the pitch to see if we can improve our kicking game.

Re: Salford at home : Wed Jun 26, 2019 12:14 pm  

Same again for me as well. It’s an ideal opportunity to make players fight their way back in.

Re: Salford at home : Fri Jun 28, 2019 12:12 pm  

Well with HKR and London stubbornly refusing to collapse it's another must win game.
Here's hoping they're up for it.

Re: Salford at home : Fri Jun 28, 2019 1:31 pm  

Salford should line up something like this:

1. Evalds
2. Johnson
3. Welham
4. Inu
5. Sio
6. Lolohea
7. Hastings
8. Nakubuwai
9. Lussick
10. Dudson
11. Jones
12. Bibby
13. Flanagan

14. Tomkins
15. Burke
16. Lannon
17. McCarthy

We (Salford) are really short in the forwards. Mossop, Wood, Griffin and Walker are all missing and despite the loan deal being initially extended, Pauli Pauli has gone back to Wakefield.

Bibby has played a few times at second row this year so I wouldn't be surprised if he's there again tonight.

Losing Lui is also a massive blow.

Ball played the man

Re: Salford at home : Fri Jun 28, 2019 9:12 pm  

Brace of tries (sadly balanced by a brace of errors) by Marshall.
Two (or was it three?) assists from Hankinson..
Forwards played with power (Clubb rolling back the years) forcing Salford errors.
Sammut grasping his extended minutes well.
Powell progressing with his improvement.
All in all very encouraging.
