Surely we can't make it ten weeks with no win against Salford?

That's no disrespect to the men from the Willows but we must have this game down as a victory.

God help us if we throw this.

Bradford 14-8 Salford in a real scrap for the points.

Salford win. Easy.

If recent history is anything to go by McNamara will pick Worrincy and all the other jokers. We will have an unbalanced bench and people playing out of position. The bench rotations will be random and the squad balance will constantly change throughout the game causing frustration and confusion. Another embarrassing defeat at home in front of the worse crowd of the season.

He has to drop Worrincy.

He won't. You know he won't.

Worrincy was one of the better players at Quins. Not that that was a great recommendation of course!

and `Sykes `

I fully expect you to get a win on Sunday, we don't travel well to Bradford. Never have and never will. 34-10 to your lot

Difference is, in the past, we've been a good side.

I would think there will be less than 10 points in it either way. Really don't know who will win this one.

Now that McNamara has been sacked, I really hope the players use this as a positive mental push for Sunday and really kick on now knowing that the new coach will be watching them.

Not been sacked. Mutual consent!

Folks remember...libel and all that? its "Mutual Consent" - to say otherwise could be libelous, no matter what folk may feel "Mutual Consent" is a euphemism for...

We've got to win this one !!?

After the disrupted week the club will now have, I'd say it's all but inevitable that we won't. I think we can forget about the playoffs now.

Not good news for us, I'm fearing the worst for this one

Anyway cya all there

The referee is Ian Smith (Oldham)

This season under Ian Smith Played 3 Won 1 Lost 2

Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 10-29 Bradford Bulls
Bradford Bulls 28-40 Warrington Wolves
Bradford Bulls 22-28 Hull FC

Ian Smith has been pretty good this year from what I've seen.

That's the spirit.

Best referee in Super League IMHO.

Let's the players play the game, rather then blowing up every minute.

It never matters who is referee.

See how the players react now Macca has left.

I expect there to be alot more passion & pride from them.

Unfortunately i'll be on holiday, but I just hope we can get the two points to give us a chance of making the play-offs.

hhhmm we've had him 4 times in the past 2 years and have managed one win.
St Helens 58 Salford 34
Salford 30 Huddersfield 18
Wakefield 29 Salford 10
Wigan 34 Salford 18

But to be fair to him, he's far from the worst we've had in that period!

well it's the chance for lee and the players to distance themselves from the poor results. I would imagine it will be a positive performance from a team very different in line up. To play the same would be suicide for Lee, change it around and have a gamble!
can't wait for the game!

COYB!

As long as its not Silverplank the worst biased referee.
