Oh aye, I'm sure that's how it unfolds in Shaun Wane's office.
"Who are we playing next weekend?"
"Salford boss."
"Oh right. Know owt about 'em?"
"Not really no, but it looks like there's some kind of fanzine message board we could have a look at." |

I fail to see any point in not playing Chase as he offers that X factor, sure I can see him maybe getting inter changed with Theo every now and again if things aren't clicking but him and Smith will be first names on the sheet every week for me.'"
Hock will be "rested" plenty too, going off previous seasons.... |

If,as it was when we hosted his former club on the opening fixture of 2012,the ground is frozen and he sustains an injury what better boost could there be for the future opponents.
With a big home crowd willing him to play well his frustration will have to be kept in check.I seem to recall some discipline issues when playing against Wakefield - perhaps their followers could enlighten us ?
Will the other squad members be under-cooked if called upon at short notice,if not given game time during the early part of the campaign ?
It may be that we are also putting undue pressure on him as he has experienced the disappointment of the World Cup campaign;moved home to be closer to Salford and may want to impress too much too early.
I have no doubt he will be in the starting line-up;but maintain the belief that a winning start could be obtained without him.'"
Please stop digging.
Your basic suggestion is just plain wrong |

After the winter they've just had, I expect the Wakefield players and fans will be really fired up for this match. Red Devils PAW has a valid point here, because they'll be doing their best to wind the Salford players up, which could lead to all sorts of problems. I really think we need to consider not fielding a team for this fixture, but just have thirteen empty shirts on the field and four on the bench. I think Nobby should be protected too, and should send a shirt, pullover and stick of Wrigley's in his place. Only until we start playing the teams whose fans are incapable of making any sort of noise should we be thinking about putting players in those shirts. That'll be the Warrington game then.

Genuinely excited at what Salford will bring to the SL in 2014. Obviously I want Wigan to win, but I'd love close games between Wigan/Salford Leeds/Salford Wire/Salford could only bolster the game.
Lets get some big crowds down to Salford, make it a 'can't be missed game'.
Bring on 2014!

Refreshing to read thank you. I agree, the more "big games" we can have in Super League can only be good for the sport and competition. |

I can't say he gets any more stick than anyone else.
When playing for Cas he was the main man so everyone was stressed when he had the ball and cheered when he made a mistake, as he did in the last game and handed the result to us.
Happy if he does that again. |
