Salford in the Cup - Same again?

[old cas lass]

Proberly ...I thought he was lucky to stay on field

My opinion was it was a good hard tackle

Saw more or less the same type of tackle in the NRL this morning.
The commentators thought it was a super tackle. No penalty, no 10 mins, no nothing.
The only difference was the Salford player hit his head on the grass, the NRL player, can’t remember his name didn’t.

There’s far more bigger hits in the NRL that don’t get penalised compared to SL.

I think so, maybe a better more polished performance, bigger margin.

Nothing to worry about looking at that game tonight.

Mossop or Peanut banned?

Very happy with the start to the season, let’s hope it continues.

Pete will probably get 1 game knowing the RFL but there was nowt wrong with the tackle. Just a good old solid hit he put on him.

Games going soft if you get a ban for that.

[Lofthouse Tiger]

Anybody think Mossop cops a ban? If Richardson hadn’t meant backwards he would have copped it big time. Nasty intentional swing that was.

agree mate, i think his intention was to take him out of the game.

If obrien is past fit,do you think all 3 halfbacks will be in match day 17?will Richardson be dropped so obrien can partner trueman?

I think that would be harsh on Richardson who had his best game of season I thought on Friday. Sky were lauding over Truey but for me Richardson was the dominant half all game.

He got a bit of stick at the start of the season did Danny but he’d come off the back of a nasty wrist injury so didn’t have much fitness or training done. I like Danny and I think he will become a very good player for us this season. People talk about Trueman but I think Danny will be just as good for us.

I thought Richardson was the better half back last week.
I’d leave him there, trueman will alway set a start.
So imo it’ll be trueman and Richardson.
GOB maybe on the sub’s bench.

I agree OCL, Richardson wasn't bad at all on Friday night. The more he plays, the more he'll get that match fitness and sharpness back. Would be a step backwards dropping him, if he's not injured.

[FIat Capper]

GOB provides so much cover from the bench, even if we run out of forrards he could fit in somewhere in the back line with maybe Shenny or even Turner going in the pack.

I'm guessing Eden may be rested after he picked up a knock, precautionary reasons only.

[Swagger]

I agree with this. Think Clare will just be in the squad this week to get back into the match day mindset.

Possibly even play one of the young lads over Milner but doubt that would happen.

[Hepworth7]

A decent squad, with the pack we put on the field and the interchanges,Salford will struggle to contain them,their first choice six may hold their own for the first twenty minutes but they haven't got the bench to do it for 80. If the backs stay on the shoulder of our big lads I'm confident they'll find the gaps and tries for a good win. One off cup games are generally tighter and if Salford spread the ball wide and play off the cuff more they might get closer than last week but still see them coming up short.

[Al letuknow1]

I think Martin will be at least on the bench, if not starting!!

Salford 12 cas 24

[westerbeast73]

Would rather give the young lads a go over hop skip and a jump JSL.

[Swagger]

There’s four changes for the Red Devils, with Dan Sarginson, Elijah Taylor, Ryan Lannon and Dec Patton all returning from injury. They replace Andy Ackers (ankle), Krisnan Inu, Morgan Escare and Josh Johnson. Jack Wells, Matty Costello and Joe Burgess (ankle) remain unavailable.


Ackers was probably their most dangerous player last week while also Escare and Inu can be dangerous so its good to see them 3 bot playing.

We look stronger and they look weaker. I'm going for a nice win by 20.

Cas 36-16 Salford
