There are no senior second lines in this squad -and no loose forward either unless Bird wins his appeal
I would definitely play Wiliame and put Thornley at left wing.Bousquet has been an unqualified failure at second line and Casty at loose forward.Neither are fast or skilled enough.Duport is the least skilled player in the squad-indeed in superleague in my view, but he is faster than most forwards.On the other hand he lacks stamina.I was very impressed with Dezaria last sunday.Presuming Bird does not win his appeal I would go Gigot;Yaha Inu Wiliame Thornley ; Walsh Myler ; Casty Aiton Moa ;Dezaria Duport , And God knows who. Interchange Simon Bousquet Dacosta and Seguier or Perez.

What I think L.F. would have done is to put Bousquet in the second row and Casty at loose forward ,thus removing our 2 best props.
I am also now wondering about the ultra dependable Thornley at Second row.
Looking at the fixtures Leigh have 3 at home and six away so they must be nailed on for 11th or 12th place .Widnes,like us ,have 5 at home and 4 away.I would be surprised if they could catch 6 points-7 really due to points difference- on us . I fear we shall lose on Friday . Let us hope that we beat Hull on Monday

Duport will be in the 2nd row i reckon

Will be an emotion charged evening.

I hope Salford raise lots of money with their initiative.

Loose forward Dezaria .Casty and Bousquet at second line .Aiton injured so Da Costa and Albert will be Hookers . Seguier,Perez and Duportt interchange and Simon starts

Just back from the game , casty sin binned after 3 mins , Inu and williame were both injured after 10 mins but both stayed on but can see them been out of Mondays game, I don't know why they bring those 2 back from injury so quickly , it's clear they are heavily strapped and first impact of the game they are down again.
We looked awful tonight, body language of the players late on in the game looked bad, started to feel sorry for the ones who try week in week out..can't think of any positives other than dezaria looking half decent, and hopefully Salford raised alot of money for Manchester appeal.

For the past 3 years we have always tried to bring back players before they are properly fit. It is a silly thing to do. Just wait till theyre fit and then play them, always annoyed me

Our next 5 games are crucial.At one stage it looked as if all our rivals would win . As I said in my report about last sunday Leigh look better than us .Glad to see thAt Dezaria played well .I shal lbe there on Monday.
I thought we would lose tonight ,but this is becoming a crisis that could be terminal
W do we get so many injuries?

Re: Squad to face Salford - Josh Jonestown : Sat May 27, 2017 3:25 pm  

Williame out on Monday ,but Inu in. Aiton and B ird are back . We still have no second liners and Casty and Bousquet are not the answer.Hull are having a bad patch .Let's hope the crowd can inspire us.
