I think it'll be close on Saturday but i'll go for Salford 22-18. I think you'll need to keep an eye on Alker. He was making a lot of ground in the first quarter against Leeds and he should be really fired up after losing the Captaincy. The one player i really do fear and you may struggle to hang on to is Tony Duggan. Think it's fair to say that anything other than 13th and 14th would be a shock. In 5 years, Salford mid table SL. Crusaders, I hope still around but I fear the worst. A lot will depend on the quality of player you can attract as your overseas quota is reduced.

What will the score be on Saturday? Salford 30-14 Celtic

What player shoudl we fear most? Our pack. If we get on top in the forwards we'll win the game. In the backs Johnny Wilshere is a class above. (although I've not seen the new lads so difficult to comment)

What player of ours do you fear most? Duggan. IIRC correctly he destroyed us at home last year. Van Dijk also needs closing down as from what I've seen he dictates the play for your lot.

Where will either team finish this season? Solly - 11th (just above Wire ) , CC - 14th.

Where do you see both clubs in 5 years time? Solly- Ground permitting, top 8 consistently and a visit to Wembley for the Challenge Cup final will do me nicely. No new ground doesn't bear thinking about but at least we'll get to stuff Swinton twice a season CC - Difficult to say. I would still have liked to have seen Widnes in but what's done is done so I want to see CC become a success (but not at our expense ). As mentioned previously if you can recruit some quality Aussies/Kiwis and bring through some talented local lads you may become I solid SL team. If not, you're gonna struggle and the RFL will look like numpties (what's new?). If RL is ever going to take off in Wales now is the time. If it fails, sorry, NL1/2 beckons.

What will the score be on Saturday? HT: 10-10 FT: 10-16 but don't know which way!

What player shoudl we fear most? No 1 man, if we play as a team we will win. If we don't we will loose!

What player of ours do you fear most? Duggan.

Where will either team finish this season? Reds below 10th above 13th. CC: 13 or 14th.

Where do you see both clubs in 5 years time? as others have said if we get a stadium mid SL, if not .......... i don't wanna think about it! CC, i really hope with us mid SL but only if you gat some more local players. I would love there to be a real welsh team in SL. I just hope that it will happen.
