Not a bad team if we are honest. Only my opinion, but if Salford are to harbour serious playoff aspirations (as they should when you look at their squad) then really they should be able to put away teams like Widnes, home or away. The performance against Saints was very poor, and it looked like your team lacked conditioning/fitness, which surprised me. That, mixed with crazy errors, was your undoing. Without Rangi, it might be time to go back to basics, and use that big pack to get you on the front foot and press widnes back. I guess the game is on TV? If so, i am realyl looking forward to it. Am not a Salford fan, but am loving the revolution, and following it with interest. Good luck Thursday.

And Vise Versa in Widnes at the moment. If we're going to make the 8 which I think we can they we need to be beating Salford, Hull, Hull KR. (The group of teams who will be in and around that 8th spot)

How good is this Sau ? One thing I've noticed is Salford seen a little short on pace at the moment but I could be totally wrong.

I remember him in a kiwi shirt a few years back and he was very strong and a real threat close to the opposition line with his dynamic style. In recent years since leaving Newcastle Knights he hasnt played a lot of NRL games and was 'demoted' to the Samoan world cup squad and wasnt prominent in their performances.

He could turn out to be a great signing or a poor signing. My concern short term is his lack of match fitness, he didnt have a full pre season with us coupled with his spells out of first grade down under.

We aint the quickest team you will face.

I would rather play with one hooker than Howarth waste a spot on the bench. He clearly isnt a hooker, either play him in his natural position or dont play him at all.

Adam got injured in pre season. Hasn't featured so far this season, not sure if he's still on the injury list. Think our back row is currently our strongest position.

Danny Tickle, Danny Galea, Hep Cahill (injured), Dave Allen, Mcgraff Leulaui.

He will get his chance again sooner or later I feel though

For those who like a bet:

6/4 for a Salford win.

11/4 to win by 1-12 points.

15/2 to win by 13+.
