it's a shame we are regularly losing key players. We really needed our 1st choice 17 against Salford.
Murdoch-Masilla does appear to be in good form at present and is probably still smarting from losing the ball and effectively the game when Reece Lyne's hit saved the day for Wakey at Belle Vue

Are we, I think we've been incredibly lucky with injuries far this season.

Just going off rumours. Lets see the team for Friday.

Dunno Vasty,

We haven't had a long list of injured players all at once but we've constantly lost players just as we've got some back.

Allgood, England, Lynne, Arundel, Johnstone, Ashurst & Tupou have all been missing at least once for more than a couple of weeks. We've now lost Walker, Arona & Miller for a while.

We can't seem to get continuity but that's the nature of the fpgame I suppose

What's an fpgame?

Tbh we had a lot of injuries early season and still had 7 or 8 out last weekend due to injuries/players being rested but still did a pretty impressive job on Wire. Hopefully both teams put out competitive 17's so we can both gauge where we're at. Bookies give Salford an 8 point start which sounds about right. As a Salford fan I'm confident but not complacent. I'd hope home advantage sways it in our favour.

You sure you've got that right slim?

Quick...open me an account with that bookie!!

Re: Next up Salford : Fri Jun 02, 2017 9:13 am  

Even tougher now with the injuries confirmed - I look forward to outpourings of sympathy from the Sky team...

Re: Next up Salford : Fri Jun 02, 2017 12:16 pm  

Salford win being offered at 1/3 up to 1/5 across various bookies. Handicap around 10 start for Wakefield.

That looks about right.

It will be a significant test for us.
Although, IF we could beat them on their own turf, with a few players missing, we could really start to think about competing for the top 4, which is just bonkers !

Come on Trin !

Re: Next up Salford : Fri Jun 02, 2017 1:20 pm  

I remember that our winning run last season came to an abrupt end at the AJ Bell. Historically it is not a ground where we tend to come away with the points. Going to be a tough game but I look forward to it.

Re: Next up Salford : Fri Jun 02, 2017 1:39 pm  

Watson is a big fan of always playing his strongest side, so I think we'll line-up something like this...

O'Brien
Evalds
Sa'u
Welham
Johnson
Lui
Dobson
Kopczak
Tomkins
Tasi
BMM
Hauraki
Krasniqi

Lannon
Brinning
T Carney
Hasson

Which is a pretty strong side from us. We are missing a couple of key players but we've been lucky enough to have decent rotation with our young lads. Still think it will be a tough game but your crop of current injuries to key players should work in our favour. But you never know with RL!
