Other teams even if they're not beat up are also calling upon a lot of squad members who could be making their debuts, we're sending the same troops out again minus those that are out injured and suspended. Not sure what state the squad will be in after tonight.

Yeh, maybe we should have sent the reserve team out tonight and written it off.
Focus on getting bodies back and keeping players out of trouble for the winner takes all against Cas.
We've sent out a patched up team most weeks.
Could end up being costly tonight.
Look at the Wigan squad.

We don't have that luxury. Players who might not be starters in our first choice 17 - Thompson, Donaldson, Edwards, Simpson, Walker etc are already crocked. The others Mustapha, Walters, Tindall, Sinfield and Johnson will all likely play. Unless you throw the under 18's to the wolves they have no choice.

Yep, looks like bare bones yet again.
Just hope we don't pick up more injuries or suspensions.
But given the way Cats play the game, I'm not holding my breath.

Salford really are a good side. Great to watch.
Brodie Croft is a class act - when's he off contract.....

Nice try but another 12 months and then he'll be back in the NRL terrorising defences.

You should be fine this weekend against Cas. They're pretty beaten up in the backline and their ageing pack lacks some of it's old bite. Don't get me wrong I'd love them to turn you over as I think that would be much better for us but I just can't see it happening.

Called it back in July.

Winning it from 5th is what we do best.

Salford would have had a real chance against Saints, but I think Croft is a massive miss.
Don't get me wrong, they're by no means a one man team.
They have quality all over.
Taylor, Ackers, Dupree, Lafai, Wright. Would love any of them at Leeds.
But Croft could have been the difference.
