Probably our strongest for a while.

Mason Caton-Brown, Rangi Chase, Niall Evalds, Theo Fages, George Griffin, Josh Griffin, Darrell Griffin, Harrison Hansen, Weller Hauraki, Liam Hood, Ben Jones-Bishop, Adrian Morley, Cory Paterson, Junior Sa'u, Lama Tasi, Scott Taylor, Logan Tomkins and Jordan Walne.

I would hope to see;

Evalds
Johnson
J.Griffin
Sa'u
Ben Jones-Bishop
Chase
Fages
Taylor
Tomkins
D.Griffin
Hauraki
Hansen
Paterson

Morley
Tasi
Hood
J.Walne/G.Griffin

So MCB and J.Walne or G.Griffin to miss out.

Providing everyone has their "A" game head on, we should hopefully be on the positive side of the result - praying for kind weather during our wee trip to the dark side!!!!!

Our 19-man squad is:

Chris Annakin, Joe Arundel, Pita Godinet, Stuart Howarth, Tom Johnstone, Max Jowitt, Ben Kavanagh, Ian Kirke, Danny Kirmond, Paul McShane, Jacob Miller, Jon Molloy, Chris Riley, Matt Ryan, Nick Scruton, Mickael Simon, Dan Smith, Tim Smith, Danny Washbrook

I would guess we will line up something like this:

Max Jowitt
Chris Riley
Joe Arundel
Matt Ryan
Tom Johnstone
Pita Godinet
Tim Smith
Ben Kavanagh
Paul McShane
Nick Scruton
Danny Kirmond
Danny Washbrook
Daniel Smith

Stuart Howarth
Mickael Simon
Ian Kirke
Chris Annakin

Chances on Smith and Howarth having an absolute stormer?

Don't say that JGR !!!

I full expect Howarth to play like Cameron Smith on Sunday and destroy us up the middle!

Our strongest side since beating Wigan.

The game might be off yet, Due to the massive number of injuries plus the loss to the club of Paea and Collis, the chairman Carter has appealed to Coolcash's and the RFL's better nature to get the game postponed until later in the season

Good, but...

It was funny right up until you made the amateur mistake of dropping the humour IQ with a play on MK's name.

Every Salford fan has seen the variations a million times and they're always wielded by dribbling, brain-addled self abusers who think that we haven't heard that particular bit of wit before. I'm sure you don't fall into that category...

I'm not so sure Butcher.

Tbh I thought his name was Koulkash till I looked properly, so coolcash does it for me, so nowt amateurish or sarcastic here, I suppose I'll have to live with it that I'm a dribbling brain addled idiot what can't spell, could have been worse though I could have been one of those potnobs spreading all that sh!!!te on these boards' about him


If your coming over on Sunday, I'll be wearing me Wakey shirt if you see me come up and say Hi I'm butch and I'll buy you a pint

I was actually been genuine with my appraisal. I liked the joke. The dribbling idiot thing was just to let you know from our point of view as I don't believe you fall into that category as you can actually string together a coherent sentence.

I'm looking forward to the game. No confidence in a win but I think it will be a good game for a change. A win would lift confidence at the club massively though.
We are all keen to see how much effect Smith has in just 1 week of course.

Just how often in football do you see the appointment of a new Manager result in a first match victory? It's a second chance and a get out of jail card for players to raise their game and show the fans it wasn't us it was all the fault of the previous Manager/Coach.

This is a potential banana skin for Salford there's no question about that. No doubt Brian Smith will have been building up players confidence all week and telling them how good they are.

Hope so

We've got thirteen players' out of contract at the end of the season, If we believe the experts' on the Virtual terrace most of them will already have got their get out of jail card, I agree though it is a potential banana skin, but with the loss of a couple of key forwards for us I think your losing run will come to an end today.
