Why hasn’t ECW got a squad number?

For players who weren't given a squad number at the beginning of the season, they will give them a squad number the first time they are picked in the matchday squad.

Why people buy companies can be confusing - like why do we have so many barbers - maybe because I am bald I don't understand it?!

It’s the same reason why Harehills has so many take away food businesses, many of which are completely empty most of the time. Believe me, the exponential growth of barbers shops has absolutely nothing to do with people’s hair growing so much faster nowadays.

The 17 will be very interesting. I'm guessing Arthur will make relatively few changes - possibly just ECW in the backs, Jenkins and O'Connor into the 17 and Gannon starting. If we lose at Salford he'll have no choice but to make more changes, or we could quickly end up in a situation similar to the last few seasons where we are under pressure on the table from the off and the reserves are less and less ready to step in due to their lack of games.

I'd expect ECW in for Riley Lumb, Holroyd starting in place of Oledski and Jenkins coming in on the bench for him, with O'Connor replacing Edgell.

If O’Connor is fit he has to start for me. Ackers was terrible last week. I’d also like to see Gannon start. ECW should get a run but it’s a shame it’s at the expense of lumb. Be interesting to see if he starts Cooper or Holroyd with Mik missing.

That's what i expect but i do hope he plays ECW at centre.

ECW named in the Reserve team today

Re: RD2 | Salford Red Devils (A) : Fri Feb 21, 2025 2:11 pm  

TNW, Edgell and Jack Smith also named in the reserves team, so I'd assume they're dropping out. No real surprises.

Is Sinfield injured? Croft Frawley and Ackers were woeful last week. None of them deserve a start this week,its not just last week its the whole of the previous season!
Why does ECW not start?

Re: RD2 | Salford Red Devils (A) : Sat Feb 22, 2025 12:35 pm  

Sinfield is injured.

Watching Lewis for HKR and Williams at wire and others , open field kicking is so critical to winning the territory battle by pushing teams back.

We need to see better from Frawley , Croft or Connor to try and match Sneyd as it could well be key today.
