I have a feeling the loan prop that Cummins said had falling through earlier this week may have been a Salford player. Hmm.

I wouldnt think so as Salford have a fair few injuries and struggling themselves lol

I reckon it was Fakir myself before he decided to "have a break"

I can only see us getting tonked after maybe holding out for 20mins. The Hudders forwards are large and plentiful, unlike ours.

Pretty much how I see it panning out. Valiant effor in the first few minutes, maybe even us scoring first. Then as the energy levels drop, they'll cut straight through and we'll concede heavily.

Hope I'm wrong though but a good performance and no more injuries would be fine for me

Reckon you've a chance although perhaps not a great one. Although Hudds were very good against us and Wigan they were much less impressive v HKR and Widnes. Complacent? Or merely inconsistent? Either way, they haven't fully hit their straps in the first four rounds and with some luck it might not be until round 6 or after that they do.

Gale needs to improve his kicking game to keep that big pack or theirs running and turning.

You have to believe you have a chance in any game, otherwise why bother turning up? But it's difficult to see how we will get anything from this game with only 2 props available. Hopefully we will keep the score respectable but I can see a bit of a blow out if we begin to tire after 60 minutes.
