Well other than Smiffy I think it's fair to say none of us were quite expecting that.

Next challenge is guess the team

If you picked the "best" players they would probably play trying to keep out of trouble & avoid injury. Not worth it.
When we play Leeds (14th Oct) then that will be a strange game ... depending on who is in the Final.
We have got to get used to not picking our "best" team.

Ratchford, BMM, Clark and Ashton to miss out.

Whatever team is out will be unrecognisable!

I don't see any regular wingers in that pick, so;

Ratchford

Ashton
Brand
Roebuck or Oakley
Thewliss

Patton
Dean

Latu
Shelford
Akauola
Robson
Longstaff
BMM

Bench; Johnson, Doro, Davis, Wrench

That's probably miles off, but it was fun trying to guess anyway

Didn't Sita start his career on the wing?

Salford squad not out yet!

Not sure we can afford a winger who does 10 minutes each half!

https://www.superleague.co.uk/match-centre/preview/3366 Looks as though Salford don't have the squad depth in order to rest so many. If we win this one it would be the result of the season. A chance for a few of the young lads to stake a claim for more game time as the season progresses.

He has certainly played there because I can remember a clip showing him crashing over, but I haven't the faintest idea whether or not is was a regular spot for him.

Sky are on the phone now desperately trying to head shots for their graphics for some kids theyve never heard of.

that beint said, its nice to be able to throw out a bunch of kids in a game when our choice rather than in an injury situation.

2007 against Leeds down here comes to mind, and another game that was on during the football World cup
