The first game of the easter weekend

will they have brian noble in charge for his first game and give them a massive boost in time to play us???

can see this being a banana skin for us so have to go with the right attitude, win and i will be happy with the 3 wins from this month and will secure our place at the top again for march.

as long as we go there with right attitude we should be fine, turn up with a wrong attitude and we could be on the end of another miserable easter thrashing at salford!
lets hope we take a few over,we used to get good numbers at the willows for easter games.

we had a good result on our last visit over there... crabtree nearly went full length of the pitch for a try too

Your memory is failing you.

He went about 40m and ran out of steam.

This is usually the start of our all too familiar fall from grace

Winning next Friday is, IMO, paramount

Win win win, no nice side to the team. Be clinical and put the bloody hurt on them!
Salford pushed saints this week how much to do with the weather saints absences and the weather I don't know but either way they can't be taken lightly!

To be honest no team in SL can be taken lightly this year.

You bang on! Some odd results this year and any one can and will beat anyone! This is what I mean by being aggressive and relentless, hit them hard and don't give them an inch!

Our problem in the past has been at Easter as we have usually underestimated or disrespected one of the teams we are playing to keep our squad 'fresh' therefore suffer a defeat in a game we were expecting to win which throws doubt into fans minds about players having right attitudes etc, players maybe questioning coaches picks, tactics etc - we cant afford to do that this , we have to take every game seriously and play to the best we can regrdless of opposition.

ok ok not quite the full length of the field but it was still some run!

brough struggling abit, can see him just playing one game over easter... or if both lets get the game won early doors and he can come off

that balmy day in wrexham springs to mind

We overtook the team coach that day.

awful day!!

mr noble was in charge then?? he has a hoodoo over us lets hope hes not in charge for our game

Hicks the ref for this one

Giants by 20, but, banana skin 1 from 4, Reds beat us every year, this is not the time for our annual c--k up

Bookies going giants -16

doesnt look like salford will have a new coach in place come friday which is good for us!

Mullally in for Patrick the only change from last weeks team... aspinall added to the 19 too.

gone for salford with a 16 point start with bookies, they will be wanting to impress with the new coach soon to be announced, either way ill be happy

will be coming up against a couple of old boys in stephen wild and darryl griffin - two great servants for us too i might add!

I just know we are gonna mess this one up

Looks like Brough needs to get some niggles sorted, very worried what happens if he doesn't play. Would love to see the young Half back they promoted get some game time this Easter

Is there a decent chance Brough will be rested? Don't want to put him in my team then not play!

Easter. A pivotal time of year in terms of our recent history. I was at Crusaders, I was at Salford. Both memorable for the wrong reasons. The Crusaders game in particular we looked completely shattered. It was a warm day but even so. I don't think it'll be quite as warm this year though eh!

We need to win GF & EM to make a statement and if we play to our potential we should be winning both.

As it stands he will play. Anderson stated he picked up a couple of knocks against wire but is good to go. And brough has said he is going to be leading the easter challenge himself. So looking good on the brough front.

Sounds good, Thanks.

so gaskell plays for salford on friday...big boost for them
