We play them Sunday. But he has a new club before then.

Obviously we owe salford one after last time

And will be a marker for how much we've improved since

Sao and Taylor back in for Staverley and Gardiner.

I'd be tempted to bring in Mcintosh for Scott too.

Scott to centre if Carlos is out.

Lafai would have another field day against scott and mcintosh

Don't think either are good enough esp mcintosh

Tag and Ligi fingers crossed back probably at the expense of Gardiner and Staveley, Carlos maybe a doubt but if he's out Scott centre maybe Litten wing if not fit then McIntosh, still think we get caught out the right hand side a lot but we are improving.

We have to get some serious pace onto that wing.
If Scott had pace he would have scored a try yesterday when in the clear but was easily cought.
Think Smith should consider moving Tuimavave into the second row at the expense of Lane to give us a bit more attacking threat,and move Scott back to centre.
Dont think Litten is the answer on the wing (would much rather see him at full back) but neither is McIntosh.
Out of the two i would play McIntosh
When we see Swift in action at the moment it just highlights what we are missing on the right

Potentially back next week I heard, with Sio & Ackers.

Whilst beating Hudds ain't that impressive at the minute (as everyone is doing it ) doing so without half a dozen of our starting 17 is a decent effort. Hudds only had McQueen out from what I could gather.

The way this has come out is pretty scummy if you ask me. Everyone knows KR put a bid in last week which the club flatly refused. This smacks of Iestyn Harris's doing as the same thing happened when Evalds left (Harris is agent for them both apparently).

I mean Dupree has barely played a full season of SL and he's already wanting to jump ship for the £££. If he's insistent on going we should absolutely drain every penny out of KR. He's under contract until 2025 so we can play the long game.

Re: On to Salford : Mon May 22, 2023 4:06 pm  

Minimum changes I would imagine, just Taylor and Sao in for Staveley and Gardiner.

Our recent record against them is strange. Only two wins from the last eight with four hammerings by them but both our wins were comfortable, 35-4 and 48-16.

I certainly wouldn’t disagree and let’s not forget Harris has form himself as a player for this sort of stuff. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more £ signs for Harris than the player. No doubt Dupree will likely go sooner rather than later as I can’t see Rowley wanting a player that sees their future elsewhere. Think it’s poor from the player and agent that has given him his chance, sometimes the grass isn’t always greener as they say.

That aside I’m looking forward to Sunday as it should be an interesting match up and a good gauge as to how far we are progressing since the spanking we got at home.

I'd give them all an extra week
