I do think saints fans who haven't heard of lama will be surprised by him tonight, he looks a real good prospect. Walmesly looks the real deal though, stepping straight in to jammers boots

Mind you, jammer will be with us next season...

Read our rumours thread, we (well I) have him under close watch

I love how deluded some Salford fans have become. If they're up to cap now, who are they going to ship out to sign Jammer (on a wage about 1/4 of the entire salary cap)?

He's good no doubt, but those figures for him were against Wakey and the might of London. Walmesley's against Wire and Hull. Slightly different opposition

I know, but we are only 2 games in.

Craig Huby there too, he's a player I'd like us to target to replace Laffranchi. Very good, young, British prop who wouldn't cost the world. Similar mould to Amor.

I love how touchy some saints fans are, it's very unlikely tbh as much as I'd love it to happen. Doesn't mean we are deluded though

If you think you're going to sign James Graham, you are very much deluded!

He's 27 so he's not that young! That said he has had a very good start to the season looking at his stats (and where cas are sat!) there are quite a few young British props up for grabs, but I wouldn't say no to huby! (Would still make a play for singleton at Leeds, but he's very young and thus a bit of a gamble)

I certainly wouldn't use a non fed spot on props - given whose available (unless by some magic fifita fancies a shot at saints!)

Missed tackles

I won't mention quality of opposition in the two games

You've also not mentioned minutes played either.

Re: 19 man squad v Salford : Thu Feb 27, 2014 5:12 pm  

When Laffranchi goes id like to give more game time to our younger props, theres a fair few in the 1st team squad now and we need to know if they're good enough or not
