You are presuming I think that Fax are a top 4 side which I don't. Stating the obvious but Bradford have no chance of making the top 4 because of their points deduction where as Fax could sneak in and to do that they would have to win games like this.

It seems a it strange Salford not making players available to Bradford when they have made DR players available to Fax this week.

Let's be right. Fax ARE a top 4 side - the table says so, I believe.

I think it's fair to say the table doesn't tell the entire truth with our position as, with no deduction, we'd be just below you on scoring difference, so I suppose we've had similar seasons, results wise. We are very reliant on the loanees though, as we have an unbalanced team with too many very young players, and it seems we won't have too many of the loan players over Easter, so we'll have an even younger age profile than normal, though I suspect we won't be alone in that.

I think Fax are favourites for this game, chiefly because we're light in the pack and your lot are always up for this game. If Fax are a bit 'wayward' though, we certainly have the backs to punish the errors. If I were a betting man, which I'm not, then my money would be on a Halifax win.

Well the bookies can't separate us. If i were Fax i would play it simple with 5 drives and a kick and i think they'll get the win. But as Bulliac says if they start making errors we certainly have the backs to hurt them.

We could do with the rain holding off for the Fax game given our forward predicament.

Imho if we come out of the weekend with any points that's a big success...

It's much more fun when you don't expect anything and are pleasantly surprised.

Instead of the last two years when all you got was dissappointment.

Can't say I'm expecting anything from this weekend.

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Wed Apr 12, 2017 8:44 pm  

As much as I'd like to see Chisholm back this week I'm really hoping that 19th spot is for Murray. We have enough with pryce and Keyes to get us through Friday without Dane (if and big if he is signing) I'd like to think it was a case of Salford assessing their options. That front row we have in our named squad is very very inexperienced and for me not enough to get on top of fax's front row. Not a slight on the guys in question just as they could grow to be quality front towers just not enough experience for me. No issue whatsoever in the back line

The magic ZERO will come into the equation at some point this weekend.

I just hope its not zero points from two losses; or zero points scored in one of our games.

Murray recalled, that's a big blow he's been immense

Gutted, too light in the forwards is an understatement

Fingers crossed we get him back after Easter
