Salford can’t rotate. We get our fringe to give them a muscle match, then we flog them fatigued with the strong line up in the CC.
That was pretty much what we saw with pie vs Dull, and specifically Leeds and Cas. Cas were absolutely shot after their epic effort vs Wire. Wire effectively gift wrapped a semi spot for Leeds, as we did a couple of seasons ago, giving Catalans a CC final spot after burning Saints first team engine to empty the week before that game.

Agree with the folk who say Salford should not be underestimated. As Tiger Ninestein use to say, "expect the unexpected".

League game moved forward to Tuesday 29th at 6pm.

Re: Salford : Tue Sep 22, 2020 3:49 pm  

It's like back to back Easter fixtures. Swings and roundabouts as it's a day less to recover from Catalans.

Up to Price to keep the team focused on the Catalan game. Catalan are still looking for a top four finish (they have only lost the same number of league games as the four teams above them). They are also coming off the back of throwing a game away and being knocked out of the cup - they'll have a point to prove.

Good to have home advantage against Catalan.

What's unexpected about losing to Salford?

I expect to lose to them at least once per season and this rule of thumb has held true through most of my time as a Wire fan.

Salford game now 5 30 kick off to accommodate early closing time in pubs , I thought they weren't allowed to show sport in pubs at present.
