Wood and Williams to miss out.



Battle of the reserves.

Christ this match is going to be awful.

Looks like we'll be finding out who's got the best reserve team on Friday.

£22 for an "A" team fixture, Lenagan out !!!

Is Josh Woods any good? It would be handy if he could come off the bench for Ganson with Powell moving to the halves. I know this would mean one of the more experienced forwards missing out but I hate the idea of Ganson playing the full 80 at hooker a week after his debut.

Maybe Fell to FB, Escare into the halves and Powell to 9 if we are desperate (we are).

Another 50 point beating could be on the way

Escare is out as well!



There's talk in the paper this morn that Joel Tomkins will play at hooker! If so we're probably looking at-



Tierney

Davies Forsyth Burgess Marshall

Gregson Powell

Nuuausala J Tomkins Sutton

Farrell Wells Isa



Tautai Bretherton Navarette Ganson





If the effort is good we'll do ok. They look pretty busted as well.

Against a Salford squad with 9 first team players out? Surely not. We have no depth, not even an academy to back us up! We actually have 3 hookers in our 19 too, so wouldn't be surprised if one of our hookers or halves faces a late fitness test.

Full strength Salford would probably win this easily, but with nine out ourselves it's anyone's game.

I panic when Joel gets the ball as it is because of the amount of times it seems to go to ground/touch/the opposition. I'd be very concerned if be was moved to the position where you touch the ball more than anyone. I agree we can't ask Ganson to play 80 at hooker but surely this isn't a wise move.
