Qualifiers Game 5 - Salford Away : Mon Sep 07, 2015 1:05 pm  

Although I won't be covering the last three Qualifiers games for the club, I'll still try and upload previews and reports (get most of the match info off Twitter) to my blog and post them on here.

After a disappointing afternoon at Leigh, we move on to Salford. With the remaining fixtures all coming against Super League sides, it'll be a good test for our guys to see how far off we are from where we need to be. The Red Devils conceded over 20 points against Halifax so I'm confident we'll also post a healthy amount of points, just how good our defence will be is a different matter.

It looks as though the rugby league great,and gentleman,Adrian Morley is making every effort to play in what may well be his final home game at the Salford home stadium.

The Referee: G Hewer has been appointed for the game.I wish him well;shouldn't think he has refereed there before.

Could be emotional...especially after we win!

As far as it stands,apart from the results against Leigh,both clubs have been well beaten at Bradford and both have defeated Halifax.

Salford have done very well with players from Championship clubs.Greg Johnson,who scored a hat trick last week,joined from Batley,as did a player who always seems to put in a full shift,Josh Griffin.Both coached by John Kear who may also have coached their hooker Tommy Lee at Hull FC,who will probably top their tackle count.

The other hooker,Liam Hood,was signed from Hunslet,as they exited League 1 - though he had been on Leeds roster.

With their back 3 scoring long distance tries I am sure that a repeat can be prevented.

The quick turnaround from Sunday to Friday night - the only side to do so in these Qualifiers - has been made more difficult by Salford having the delayed start at 5pm.

I am optimistic of better things this Sunday.

The local soccer club has shown rugby league how to pay homage to a local hero HERE Ellery Hanley still looking very well and being gracious.Top man. Surprisingly,Garry Schofield has predicted a Salford win - not so surprisingly,after he shocked everyone by being correct last week,he has gone for another 40 points defeat prediction for us,on Sunday.

I neither like,nor agree,with the opinion of Ian Watson. Then I remembered he guided Swinton to relelegation,and spent a year,with them,playing at the LSV,so that is probably where he got the attitude. Pre-Match Analysis By Ian Watson
