I've a feeling that with having 2 weeks off Smith might go with giving Sinfield another start allowing for some more settled positional issues around 9 and fb.

Looking at the squad:

Myler, Fusitua, Hardaker, Broadbent, Handley, Austin, Leeming, Oledzki, Dwyer, Tetevano, Martin, Bentley, Smith.
Sinfield, Thompson, Holroyd, Donaldson.

Simpson, O’Connor, Walters, Mustapha.

Getting much better looking team now. Not enough to compete top 4, but way better than relegation candidates…..

Aside from returning players it will be interesting to see the change to style of play Smith alluded to. He was being diplomatic about what has gone on before, but he if there's something that's glaringly obvious it suggests he's seen something fundamentally wrong with parts of our game.

Think we might start seeing us kick the ball on the 5th and not running it in!

Yes that was interesting.

We do need to temper our expectations a little though I think, new coach new systems and returning players it might take a few weeks to click, Im expecting a clunky performance on Sunday.

Salford have named a very strong squad aswell, it will be a very tricky game.

please remember the improvements during the recent games was when the youngsters stood up to be counted give them credit and do not be too keen to replace them. Just build the team round them rather than a wholesale swap for players who have not played for weeks or may have medical problems. Also remember the returnees are the same players who produced the worst start to a season for years. Plan for the future.

Agreed for Tetevano and Austin at least. Bin them both

How do you propose we bin a marquee player who is contracted for next season?

Sinfield and Simpson in the Yorkshire squad.
Holroyd in reserves today.
Mustapha in Bradford squad.

So you’ve got you’re 17 then… looks like we are sticking with Thompson and Donno as the interchange props.

Re: RD 12 | Salford Red Devils (A) : Sat May 14, 2022 5:06 pm  

Please have Mustapha on the bench.
