Big game this if we can take the points we move above Salford and Leeds with the possibility of Warrington too if Hull beat them. That's potentially 3 places for team a couple of weeks ago had been written off by the media and a few on here. Hopefully with a bit of confidence and up against a weaker Salford pack we may just dominate. Clean up the silly penalties and mistakes and it's game on.

I thought the exact same. Load of rubbish. They’ve pretty much got their starting 1-7 out while we have TJ, Tupou, Lyne, Kersh out.
Their forwards are still handy too. Definite mind games and that isn’t a team to be taken lightly.
Their only missing their second row from their original 13. They are no mugs but equally, they have been a bit hit and miss in the forwards so there is a big chance for us. We can't allow the backs to play with no challenge like we did against Leeds.

Come on, 1-7 is decent, although they are without Sarginson & Escare, but their prop rotation is as weak as i’ve seen in a long time, every one of them is championship standard as are their hookers. They also have a centre at second row as they have nobody else. Lose this and we deserve second bottom, we should and will win it with something to spare.

Your not learning from history there SC.
One we shoot ourselves in the foot more regular than most.
Two, we’ve stayed in SL by winning with makeshift teams.
Three, that seventeen for Salford is good enough to beat half of SL when at home.

After a brilliant start to the 1989-90 a Tex Evans insured Salford bought is crashing down to earth.
Always stuck with me that game.
I think I know what you are getting at but the game I always remember was at Huddersfield when we turned up in large number after a string of victories only to be thumped with them scoring over 50 points if I remember correctly
