Let's not underestimate Salford.
I'm sure SP won't, and that's why I think he'll rest only a few players for that match (assuming not too many injuries tonight).
Coops deserves a rest, possibly Currie, Austin and King too, although there's an argument to keep Austin playing to develop the relationship with Widdop.
The others have had an enforced rest other the last few weeks or haven't been chosen.

This is where Price will earn his corn. The semi is a vital game but we need to win both the Catalan and Salford league games. It's a very congested fixture list over the next three weeks. If we make the final then it's 6 games in 23 days.

I don’t disagree, but I can’t help thinking Salford will put all their eggs in the CC basket and are therefore liable to rest a few for the League Game

Or use BMM as a rotation prop?

Not a bad idea at all mate, all the Aussies think he'll be a starting prop for New Zealand next year so rotate the bugger now.

Great TEAM performance

Walker and Davis able deputies
Ashton looks QUALITY

When we throw the ball about we are some team.

When Price throws the shackles off the team (and himself), it shows what we (and him) are capable of.

More of the same, please.

Ashton is quality he's not just a fast prospect, he scored one with another great bit of support play, he laid one on a plate for austin showing great awareness, made a 1 on 1 tackle on folau. He's potentially the real deal.

I really like matt davis, he punches well above his weight, covers a few positions and doesn't seem to make mistakes. Walker is growing on me.

Re: Squad for Catalan - Ratchford missing : Fri Sep 25, 2020 8:26 pm  

Another good performance, even though I thought we didn't quite defend as well as we did against Saints. Agree with the comments on Ashton, scored one, made one, and tackled above his weight. He dropped nothing all night too, should have had the MOM.

Re: Squad for Catalan - Ratchford missing : Fri Sep 25, 2020 9:39 pm  

Looks like Tom Lineham has done us a favour as having both Ashton and Mamo in the side has given us pace and energy we have not had for a long time. Can’t see how we can possibly leave Ashton out of the side now because, as well as pace, he is brave and his support play is outstanding.
I think King should move to second row now to challenge Ben Currie and Jason Clark who were both below par tonight. Currie needs to be far more aggressive in the tackle.
Need to retain Davis and Mamo and Rob Butler will be a great addition next year.
