Massive test for Saints in their first game v Salford.
Following the takeover at the Reds they can field their full squad.

Going off some of the pre-season reports over on RV quite a few of Saints first team especially in the forwards have zero or precious few minutes under their belts.
Only time will tell if that's a mistake I suppose.

Not denying that I expected us to win by a lot more yesterday and 10 points in the second half against amateurs is p**s poor.

However Salford’s result today can also be looked at as a bad one. They weren’t at full strength but had a strong side out and won by less of a margin than we did.

Hopefully there is a big attendance for your game next week as its possibly the most intriguing game of the round. Salford fans will likely travel in numbers given their good news.

It’s not been ratified yet, Saints could be playing half a Salford team.

I should’ve clarified that Salford weren’t playing amateurs today but they still won by less of a margin than I would’ve expected.

Salford are +14.5 with the bookies which I find staggering and have to say I’ve already bet on. Part of me wonders if the bookies know that maybe the takeover won’t be completely confirmed by next week meaning they won’t be able to play a full team? I’ll keep a close eye on the news before Thursday and cash out if that’s the case.

I’d say Wigans game is the game of the round. Big things expected of Leigh and I’m intrigued to see how Armstrong goes. I think he’s a dark horse for the MOS

Let’s hope for our sake that Leigh give you a game this time.

Their statement says they’ll have a full squad to choose from.

Thank you. That’s what we want to see. So has the deal now been ratified?

I got Salford +16.5 and Warrington -6.5 last week, easy double.

I wouldn’t call Armstrong a dark horse, everyone I speak to is tipping him. I got him at 33/1 he’s down to about 16s now

Just got on the Salford/Wire double but -10 on Warrington. Well done going early!

That’s a great price, well done.

I have a feeling Sailor won’t be a million miles away either. May have a dabble on him.
