Who knows but I guess it’ll keep him out between one and thirty seven weeks going off Lam’s updates.

Wee Tam and Gildart have a good chance to face Catalans next week . So that will be a nae chance then on Lam's current estimate record .

Think he meant Catalans next year (but even that won’t come off as they won’t be here).

Preferring Zak at FB purely due to the weather, I doubt French will be able to hit his straps on a wet muddy AJ Bell field. Strong starting pack to match Salford’s predictable early aggression. I get the feeling it’ll be a tough day due to the weather and we’ll need to dig deep and play to the conditions. Still should be walking away with a 6-10pt win IMO.

Do you not rate Manfredi are have you forgot him.

I’d go-

French
Manfredi Hardaker Farrell Bibby
Hastings Smith
Bullock Powell Singleton
Bateman Shorrocks Havard

Subs
Partington, Clark, Byrne, Pearce-Paul.

+1

Weather is forecast to be dry but cold, putting Hardaker and Manfredi as a pairing should help to nullify Burgess in the air, if he plays.

Edited. To be totally honest I missed his name.

More or less agree with NK's team but I reckon Lam will go with Partington at loose and Havard off the bench.

I do too, but I can't imagine Lam would go with Shorrocks and KPP, when you'd have thought it was one or the other at most.

Unless Shorrocks starts????

Salford should be there for the taking today IMO. They seem to have gotten worse under Marshall and certainly a bit chunkier. But it depends on what Wigan turn up, even if we play badly I’d still expect a win today of at least 2+ tries. For my money the only worse team than Salford in SL is Leigh.
