Would expect Chisholm to be in ours then. Probably on the bench on Friday night. Keyes and Pryce to start.

I notice Sweet is down to ref Fax on Easter Monday. Perhaps RFL realised they had accidentally put him down to ref both Fax games over Easter, and realised their mistake? ...

He's also down for the Hunslet game and will do them all. He's not called 3 Piece Sweet for nothing.

Wot if we play Dane Chisholm?

They would have to sell a whole lot of advance tickets at Fax to make it worth opening up the Rooley Lane End. Unless a crowd well in excess of maybe 6 or 7k was expected at any given fixture I doubt it will be opened this season.

Just had a email from Halifax. Rooley Lane End will be open for the game on Friday night.

No Dan Murray in the squad. Gledhill is saying he's been recalled by Salford. Whilst it probably is true (we all speculated it might happen), I'll wait until I see Murray's name in Salford's squad before I believe it. Reliable sources and all that.

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Wed Apr 12, 2017 1:31 pm  

Our 18-man Squad:
Bentley, Campbell, Caro, Davies, Halifihi, Hodgson, Keyes, Kirk, Larroyer, Macani, Magrin, Moore, Oakes, Pryce, Roche, Ryan, Thomas, Wilkinson.

I hope it's 18 because they're going to add Chisholm to it later, rather than because we only have 18 available players. Otherwise we're stuffed for Easter Monday too!

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Wed Apr 12, 2017 1:33 pm  

Powell was talking about using his full squad over Easter and re-calling Larroyer if need be.

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Wed Apr 12, 2017 1:34 pm  

Murrary is a massive loss but inevitable with easter coming up. Notice only 18 players announced so presume trying to register Chisholm before then.

For me (if chisholm plays)

Thomas
Campbell
Ryan
Oakes
Caro
Pryce
Keyes
Roche
Moore
Margrin
Larroyer
Bentley
Wilkinson

Chisholm
Davis
Kirk
Hodgson

Got a strong feeling Macani will play. Exactly the type of character we don't need. Think fax will steam roll our forwards sadly.

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Wed Apr 12, 2017 1:35 pm  

Murray hasn't been named in Salford's 19 for Good Friday. Every chance he'll be in for Monday obviously, but also every chance it's total bull, with no pun intended.

No Murray would reduce our chances by a fair bit. We have nobody that is able to fill his boots in the front row. Roche and Hodgson will give 100% but I suspect we'll struggle like we did at Oldham when he was lost due to sickness.

Not surprised if Salford call him back.

What's up with Lee Smith?
