The game will be yours for the taking IMO. Hock, Meli, Griffin all out, Chase more than likely out, S'au should hopefully make a return though, and Rapira may play his second game in over 6 months. Home advantage as you say, you have a great record there and have had a brilliant start to the season.
If Salford aren't underdogs for this I want some of what the bookies are smoking!
Is Brown back for Thursday? It'll be a big boost for us if he's not, you do have a few injury problems of your own from what I've heard.
Hopefully our boys will be chomping at the bit to make amends for last week & make a game of it. If they are it should be a good game and that's the most important thing for both teams I think, especially with it being on Sky.
