With their fast I pitch. Sunday is the perfect opportunity to utilize our fast backs, get the ball out quickly and blast them to smithereens with our quick no compromising plays.

As it is we'll probably try and out muscle them up the middle and get beat

COME ON SALFORD. LET'S GET THAT FIRST WIN!

The way your lads tore into Saints in the 1st half has me a little concerned with the way we've been defending out wide.I just hope that the mauling we got off Hudd's has given us a kick up the backside and we give you a game. Hope to have Watts,Clarke & Briscoe back from injury,if not I think it will be Salford's day.

The only thing I'm feeling is a typical Salford performance when we need a win.

I'm not expecting us to win. We should be favourites (bookies are giving Widnes up to an 8 point start). But I think, considering we need people to at least have a look inside our new ground, Salford need to win on Sunday. So that's what makes it a big deal for me.

Considering Sunday afternoon rugby is somewhat of a rarity on our side of the Pennines, it's a good excuse for part-timers to get down and roar the lads on.

From our experience on the I-Pitch, i'd said the one thing which was noticeable is how hard it is to effectively turn and change direction. Therefore, a back line with pace could be quite destructive on there coupled with a intelligent short kicking game

What about a backline with pace coupled with a disappointing short kicking game?

Three Vikings players suspended for Sunday. http://www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article.php?id=7201 Thankfully Finnegan is one of them as we all know he'd be on the scoresheet...
