Team for Salford : Tue Jun 11, 2019 8:59 am  

Having calmed down (a bit) over the last few performances and looking at the various threads sounds like there could be several changes against Salford .

Think ashurst batchelor huby Johnson arundel arona jowit definitely injured

Pauli is back , tupo could be back , kirmond ? Mcb ?

So assuming the above is correct - Pauli kirmo in for ash and batch , if fit tupo and mcb in for sau and Croft , if not then Croft /kershaw

But given the poor confidence do we need to make other changes ? Personally would give annikin a run in stead of England /hirst

Looks like another boggy wet windy day

Annakin is on loan, not sure if he can be recalled. Could look something like

Rocky
MCB/Kershaw
Tupou/Croft
Lyne
BJB
Milky
Brough
Fifita
Randell
England
Kirmo
Kelepi
Crowther

Wood
Hirst
Pauli
King

Doesn't look too bad a team. Would look a fair bit weaker if Big Dave/Bill aren't fit.

I think Kershaw's style will lend itself well to heavy ground.
I'm happy with Croft but either MCB or Tupou would be a good addition to the team. Both are game breakers.

We have the potential to have 3 strike players back for Salford in Fifita, Tupou and Pauli. Strike is definitley somerhing we have lacked over the past few weeks! Add Kelepi to that 3 and i think we look a lot more dangerous in attack. Fingers crossed they all play because im starting to look at the teams below us rather than above us at the moment....

Our form + Salford’s form + our record at the AJ =

Going by this i'm not sure tupou will be back this week. https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/rugby/wakefield-trinity-s-bill-tupou-ahead-of-schedule-as-he-nears-return-from-groin-injury-1-9813166

It's a 4 pointer this weekend with Salford being right below us.

I feel a real hammering coming this week and I mean by a good 40 points. Hastings and Lui if fit will have a field day...
