sorry salfordmad should have put my glasses on and read yours

Someone mentioned options, so what about this?

1. Henry (Although not done much since, looked really good under the high ball against Celtic)
2. Ratchford (Out position I know but there is a gap to be plugged)
3. Wilshire (Not happy on the wing so maybe a run in the centres will get more out of him)
4. Turner
5. McGilvary (As others have said, "If he is fit")
6. Fitzy (As the last line of defence and taking the bomb he doesn't seem to be cutting the mustard, but has backed up well at times and still seems dagerous near the oppositions try line)
7. Myler (Needs to start bossing the team a bit more)
8. Stapo
9. Alker
10. Cashmere
11. Parker
12. Adamson
13. Swain

14. Sidlow
15. Jewitt
16. Lulu
17. Paul/Smith

According to the ESL Website you are without Wilshere, Talau, Myler, White and McGilvray?

Salford coach Shaun McRae is also wrestling with a number of injury problems as he prepares to return to one of his former clubs.

Goalkicking winger John Wilshere has been ruled out with a knee problem and, with Willie Talau, Paul White and Dean McGilvray still on the sidelines, McRae has called 20-year-old former Wigan Warriors winger Andrew Thornley into his initial squad for what would be his engage Super League debut.

The Reds are still without scrum-half Richie Myler, who has a hand injury, but second rower Ian Sibbit and winger Mark Henry are set to return after sitting out last week's 48-18 home defeat by Harlequins RL.

It doesnt matter mate...you* could be playing at 7 and you'd still win easily

* I apologise for insinuating you are turd, you could well be a current or ex superstar for all I know!!

anyway i know it's totally off subject but what has happened to gray viane?

And for what its worth my take on the Smith scenario is that he's trying too hard to a) impress and b) impose himself on and control games...I don't think anyone other than the true greats (Lewis, Sterling, Ratchford, Kenny) can do that on their own and win games on their own.
