Roby is out for saints with Fages set to replace him and Turner maybe moving to the halves

Roby missing has got to be a bonus for us. Be interesting to see if Fages can control a games better for Saints and look like a proper hooker than he could for us. Having their big forwards running off him will help him and create gaps for him to scoot into which could be problematic for us

As an aside it is getting almost comical how much our fans criticise Salford for playing our young players out of position when the same players are more than happy to play anywhere at other clubs...

Jones to centre and maybe lannon to start at second row?

Re: V St Helens : Tue Feb 09, 2016 5:14 pm  

Griffin will move into the centres in Sau’s absence and Johnson will go onto the wing. Koukash has just tweeted Lannon will play on Thursday, so I assume that will be at the expense of Sarsfield. I’d like to see A.Walne replace Joseph too and of course, Evalds for O’Brien.

I hope we don’t waste a bench spot on Tomkins, but I am sure we will. I don’t see the point in spelling between Lee and Tomkins, neither compliments the other like Lee and Hood did last season. Both are too similar ie 80 minute hookers who are solid in defence but offer no threat from dummy half.

Is Sa'u injured? Thought he looked fitter than I've seen him pre season and showed a fair turn of pace last Friday for one of the trys.

Think when Lannon gets a regular starting spot he will make a name for himself, there seems to be a real glut of quality British 2nd row forwards ATM, let's hope he joins them.

JGR you're dropping to many players there Tomkins, Sarsfield, GOB & Joseph. 2 of these will have to play which makes me think a prop is needed asap!

He seemed to grab the back of his leg after scoring that last try, then had an ice back on at the end.

I can see another tweet from the Doc after the game saying hes had enough.
