Agree about Inu.
I think Greenwood will start with Livett on the bench instead of Johnson,until the heavy stuff has been done.

Pauli I think Inu will get the nod over Sio. But a nice dilemma. Backrow forwards are all pretty interchangeable at this stage. Atkin and Patton have to be in the interchange for me, after that, it's pretty difficult call. Decent side on paper, probably the best I've seen. The big question is if they can do it as a team on the day. I don't want to jinx things but I'm pretty excited to see what this team can do this season. |

I think a lot will depend on how they perform in preseason. I recall reports that Inu wasn’t selected at the start of the season due to performances in training. Everyone will have to impress the new set up! I still think you need 2 out and out props, we seen last year we lost momentum when the 2 props were replaced and we didn’t have the back up to bring on! Livett will be a key player for us and will shine in the back row developing into an out and out LF learning from Taylor |

Yes,Inu has been there seen it ,and bought the t shirt,so I suspect early season motivation has been difficult for him.
Tends to hit his straps half way through the season.
Not defending him,but I think he’s just laid back and needs to see the end game.
Cant afford too many like that

I think we are looking good to go.I thank Watson for what he did for us,but now fully behind the new coach.I wish him well.
I am quietly optimistic for the coming season I think we look stronger and can't wait for it to start.

Can this be real? Salford fans thinking they are going to do quite well?
What is happening to the world? Usually when we are leading by ten points with five minutes to go I still think, "We could still lose this!"
I think we are sickening for something.

Red Dave It's what is a successful season,we have been to two finals some could say now we have to go and win one,that might not happen,probably will not happen. But as a fan base I think we can look for a top 5 finish that will not be easy, but in my view realistic in the past we have set a target of survival, I am quietly optimistic we can aim higher |

Before the first whistle is always the time to be optimistic and we do have a stronger squad overall than previously. Enjoy it, before things get tough.

I’m normally ‘glass half full’ but all this optimism is concerning !
On a serious note, I’m surprised that Rhys Williams isn’t mentioned,not even as being unlucky .
His stats are great,he’s scored iconic tries and he’s better than a reserve.
I’m not suggesting he’s anything other than our 4th choice winger now but ,just typing that feels odd, so something will give

I've put Inu in as you can't look past how good he was last season, but I still find it a strange one we extended him with so many decent wingers in the squad.
Williams and Sio would've have been in any day of the week.

We extended him because he was in the Dream Team and won us games by scoring tries and kicking tough goals
