There is Whetherspoons in town but if you head down, you've got the Vulcan, if you fancy a walk could always venture over to Rickys

Yes forgot Turnbridge, there are 2 'spoons in town, i guess it depends where you're coming from, how close you want to be to the ground etc

there is Ricky's but not many would recommend it !

If any of you are coming over by Train (like me) Head of Steam and the Kings Head are at the Station whilst the Sportsman is another good bet - out the station, left past the George Hotel and the Sporty is facing you under the Railway Bridge.
Of course you should all spend at least an hour breaking your journey in the buffet bar at Stalybridge Station first!

hope he is but money talks, especially koukashes!

I noticed the Koukash thing too and it panicked me. But the way its going I see the BBC as Eorls next employers

cudjoe picked up a knock so he may be rested

RE Crabtree, we're looking for Morley's replacement at the moment as I understand he wont play on into 2016. I was hoping it would be Sam Rapira, but expect him to go to either Wigan or Leeds.

I'm not looking forward to this one, our away form has been abysmal since thumping you lot last season. If I had the choice, I would rest a few for this game and go all out against a battered and bruised Wigan on Easter Monday.

Have a word will you, that would suit me, maybe you should rest your 1-7.

Don't worry, Eorl has signed a new contract. Just not announced yet.

thats a blow

if so then prob see murphy go centre and broughton return on the wing.

like this!

indeed him and mul back monday at hull should be a big boost

or maybe give connor a run in the centres?

cudjoe and mullally confirmed as out for this game

broughton and johnson in

so can see murphy at centre with broughton on the wing

johnson straight replacement for mullally at prop

I'd like to see connor at 4 too- he deserves another run out. Also not convinced we should switch smurph to the other side.

On paper it has all the hallmarks of a good close encounter.

However, we've been poor away from home this season and I'd expect you lot to run out winners comfortably.

Saying that, if you roll the dice and get the decent Salford, like you did last year it could go the other way. It looks like Harris is determined to keep the main skeleton of the team together over the next few matches, so he's not going to be resting anyone for this first game over Easter.

Looking at their squad we should win this. They have some "names" such as locke- but is there a q mark over his fitness? Chase-obviously, although he's never really played at his best against us. Dobson is consistent-we need to not put too much focus on chase as Dobson IMO can be more dangerous as he rarely has a bad game. Sau has looked very decent so far. But their pack doesn't worry me. Morley isn't doing much, mr teapot griffin is below all our front runners,
and lee, ( great tackler though he is), won't trouble at the ruck like robbo/woody have been.

No doubt for my eyes we have a better squad than Salford... But this weeks Salford team is on par if not arguably better than the one that smashed us all over last year. They certainly are playing better together and have a more settled coach and team. Throw in the fact they have a habit of beating us it's going to be a very tough battle.
I hope home advantage and great form will get us the 2 points because Salford won't make it easy for us.

I think you'll see Liam Hood play big minutes. Ball in hand were getting there. Defensively not so good. You say your squad is better on paper i disagree i think ours is the one of the best but that's been the problem to many supetstars and not playing as a team. Hopefully though were starting to gel as a team.

Oh yeah watch out for Paterson pure class with ball in hand!

I'll still say Huddersfield by 10 home advantage seems massive this season.

i rated paterson when he was at hull kr and seems he is just as good now

Lee is very under rated, we tried to keep him but he went for more cash to london

salford 3/1 for the win, not a bad price considering they seem to put one over us every season

hopefully we can continue the winning streak especially after beating warrington away!

Hughes to centre with Murphy still on the wing. He is broughs go to man. Changes to a minimum imho

I think PA has confirmed that Murphy will play Centre and Broughton will come in on the wing. Not that way I would go (Connor into Centre) as I prefer to keep the changes minimised but I don't have any issues with the decision.

With this game I can honestly say that if we won easily I wouldn't be surprised, if it was very close I wouldn't be shocked and if Salford did a number on us I wouldn't be stunned. I think we'll win but if we have one of our 80% days and Chase has one of his brilliant days the writing will be on the wall.

Really looking forward to the game because of that, because I'd love to see Chase and Brough going head to head at their best (with Brough coming out on top, of course) and because for me it's a great kick off time to start the Easter Weekend with a fair few drinks before, during and after

COYG!

Disappointed to see Anderson has done the very Nathan Brown thing of changing more players round than is necessary, trust him atm though so hopefully we will get the two points.

At least it won't be difficult to read where the majority of Salford's high kicks will be aimed...
