Think we'll put Griffin up against Lafai.

We should send as much traffic as we can against Cross. Sky have highlighted it, he likes to jam in, so e could have some joy.

Longstaff, as much as I like him, was all over the place defensively against Wire. Another one to throw traffic at if he starts.

Salford are a dangerous side. Hope it doesn't click for them on Saturday

I would still back Longstaff to score at least one try against us on Saturday.
Has a real ability to get on the end of kicks into the in goal

It's written in the stars isn't it. I'd certainly have him in our side over Lane who unfortunately hasn't really clicked on over the last eighteen months.

I'd agree with HU8HFC's line up for tomorrow's game. Griffin will do a job in the centre for a week or two if required and works well with Swift,

He's average at best hence why wire keep passing him on

He looked ok in our mess of a team last season Jack walker did aswell

And he's now in championship

Not Salford related but thought Manu Ma'u was excellent last night.
Just shows the difference playing under a good coach who also played him on the right just as he did for Paramatta.
Still wish we had kept him.

The thing is Catalans were willing to give him a two year deal. Maybe he just wanted to live in the South of France with his family for a couple of years before retirement, quite a nice sounding prospect.

Also, of course, if he had stayed at Hull we wouldn't have signed Clifford and this weekend would be looking at a possible Lovodua/Houghton half back partnership.

Don't think anyone ever doubted Manus quality.

For me it was the amount of time he spent off the field. Missed too many games with niggling injuries.

Re: On to Salford : Fri Mar 10, 2023 11:48 am  

Thought some of the stick he got here was unjustified, it's a shame we lost him, but when you get offered a two year deal and a chance to retire in the south of france, its was a bit of a no brainer for him and his family.

We could have put mau at 6 after that sidestep on field last night...
