Our three quarter line looks extremely handy. Certainly on paper lots of potential. Not counting my chickens but expecting a comfortable victory

Agree. I don’t see the mongrel, size or consistency in our pack tbh. A possible positive is the younger pack members are a year older, and that may help as a prop. Having said that, can we still be sure that philosophy still applies ? Micky O is now 23 years old and under historical opinion should be moving slowly towards his peak years as a prop. I’m not sure sure I’ve seen a gradual increase in performance levels, only changes in body shape. The conventional wisdom used to be as you moved onto 10 pints a night instead of 5 or 6, the extra body weight made you harder to stop :wink:

Re: RD 1 | Salford Red Devils : Thu Feb 15, 2024 2:08 pm  
Some of Sts success in recent seasons was down to having very good kick returns and making big yards or getting quick PTBs or both. With Miller able to cause problems running the ball back and big threequarters to take the second hit up if needed, we ought to be able to start sets better. Add that to a better structure and more control coming out of defence and hopefully our props won't be under so much pressure early every set.

At least I hope that's the plan, because individually none of our props consistently make enough yards. I like Ruan as a potential prop option as he has that size about him but is much more dynamic than Sangare, and TNW looks like he'll play above his weight. One thing's for sure though, even if our backs do start sets well, if we have both Donaldson and Goudemand in our prop rotation on a regular basis we look way too small up front. So fingers crossed one or both of Ruan and Hudson come on this season.

Fusitu'a won't be risked tomorrow from what I've been told hope he can get on pitch more than he's not this year otherwise massive questions will be asked why he was resigned.

Depressing to hear if true. You'd have to think they'll make a decision on him in the first third of the season and in order to extend or look attractive to other clubs he'll have to play. Seems like it's always a struggle, despite the obvious talent. Probably Roberts to the wing then.

I was thinking Olpherts on the wing but realised he`s not in the squad and is out injured for 3 to 4 weeks!

Serious question marks all the noise was that he was fit.
He appears to be on of those players who constantly picks up knocks. Great when he's fit but doesn't bode well for rest of season if true.

Agree, though I'd add we need Holroyd to make more of an impact too. From memory, his metres per carry stat last year was only marginally greater than Donno's.

From what I’ve seen I wouldn’t put Goudemand in the same bracket as Donno. The new Frenchman seems to offer far more punch at the line and post contact. Not a massive prop by any accounts but more of a prop than Donno.
