Hoy
McIntosh
Scott
Griffin
Swift
Lover

Not ideal, putting Griffin there is probably the only option, someone, otherwise you have to either switch a few players or play Mcintosh there, which I think would be a mistake.

4 centres out injuries isn't great.

I'd go with

Hoy
Mcintosh
Scott
Griffin
Swift
Lovodua
Clifford
Evans
Houghton
Taylor
Sao
Savelio
Fash

Dywer
Satae
Brown
Cator

Re: On to Salford : Thu Mar 09, 2023 12:18 pm  

Hoy
Swift
Griffin
Scott
Mcintosh
Lovodua
Clifford
Taylor
Houghton
Satae
Savelio
Sao
Fash

Evans
Brown
Dwyer
Cator

As mentioned previously, really think the right edge needs bolstering, id still have Sao in for Lane, moving Griffin into the Centres.

Wouldn't be shocked to see a curveball from Smith, such as Litten on the bench to give us some options in the backs.

I reckon this is probably the best option we have available. Lane needs at least a week off and to fix up his D. Griffin looks fitter and more mobile than last season so should do a job.

I see a lot saying move Hoy but why when we don’t have to. Let him find some consistency and gel in his preferred position.

I’d like to see Litten rewarded with a spot on the bench and Salford would be a good game for him but with so many missing I don’t think it’s wise. For me he’s should be second choice full back at the minute. Great preseason & had some game time Vs shaul who’s sadly been out injured. Litten also needs chance to build some experience.

Wonder about Cator in the back row If fit. I’d prefer Sao there but carrying Savelio and Sao in starting back row shirts might be a risk right now.

Lane should be behind Sao, savelio, Griffin

Sao played for samoa at world cup as a 2nd row

Why aren't we doing the same ?

Cator too small for 2nd row think he's too small for 13 aswell in the long run for super league

Think hooker will end up been cators position

I’d tend agree with this side but maybe have Satae/Evans the other way around.

Minimal positional changes with Griffin slotting in centre Lovodua covering H/B , Probably switch it around a bit when Houghton comes on .

The Curveball may be a good option as it would allow McIntosh to move to centre and Litten onto the wing in case we need to move Griffin back into the second row if Savelio needs rotating
Not a McIntosh fan but he did OK when playing in the centre

Re: On to Salford : Thu Mar 09, 2023 7:19 pm  

Think we'll put Griffin up against Lafai.

We should send as much traffic as we can against Cross. Sky have highlighted it, he likes to jam in, so e could have some joy.

Longstaff, as much as I like him, was all over the place defensively against Wire. Another one to throw traffic at if he starts.

Salford are a dangerous side. Hope it doesn't click for them on Saturday
