My team tonight would be: 1. Ryan 2. Nofoaluma 3. McDonald 4. Lafai 5. Cross 6. Brierley 7. Sneyd 8. Olmondroyd 9. Bourouh 10.Dudson 11.Stone 12.Watkins 13.Shorrocks 14.Atkins 15.Wright 16.King V 17.Hellewell We need to spell Bourouh at Hooker, ideally with Atkin or if not four forwards on the bench and rotate with Shorrocks. Really? Brierley to SO is not gonna happen unless absolutely has to, so Atkin will play there. All of a sudden it seems imperative to spell borough, not sure why myself as he's looked fine doing full 80s in every match. If needs be you get shorrocks to do it and rotate him with forward. Rather than focus on something that's not going to happen, I'm more intrigued by the bench and seeing how one of the new guys goes on the wing. Bench I can see 2 props 2nd row- forster my shout, but will probably be helliwell again Back-ryan to cover wings and FB if required. Looking forward to this  Towards the end of the Saints game Bourouh was falling off tackles he'd given everything. He needs a break even if its 15 mins. If Ryan starts at full back I'd be Happy with a bench of King V, Wright, Hellewell and Foster. Morgan will not offer anything at hooker he is a 7, we need forwards to match Wigans go forward. |

A couple of times last year he said the same thing and he wasn’t jesting

Ryan Atkins will not be on our bench WRD but Chris Atkin might be.😉
Interesting to see how we line up tonight. Looks like rain most of the day so kicking game needs to be on point (repeat of the KR game will be perfect).
Win tonight and we can claim to be the best club side in the world due to beating the last 2 WCC winners.😉

To JJRs point Rowley said we have 18 fit players from the 20. Dudson and Norfoalumo play - hope he's being a bit aloof as we need all our fit Props playing. We have cover in the backs and 2nd Row.

The backs, besides Hankinson, seemed ok after the Saints match; just wondering how fit Bouroh is, he looked wrecked at the end as did most of the pack

Anyone know if there is still one of those "Reds" buses running from Walkden area on match days? I'm at my dad's in Little Hulton this afternoon so trying to plan ahead.

I'd head for Worsley get a pint in Ellesmere Sports Club (cheap prices) or at the Worsley Old Hall then jump an Uber, it will only be £5 from there. Post in the Walkden Reds Facebook group they will confirm. |

Wigan fans suggesting they have sold over 1,400 tickets to date without those who pay at the ground. It will be a great turn out and all being well a Salford win.

And the World Turned Upside Down, good positive coverage for SRD continues. I feel like I woke up in a different dimension.

Think we will hit well around 6.5k fans in tonight perhaps 7k. All I ask is that the team plays as they have done the past few weeks. This is an opportunity to shine against the best team in the league. Bring on the Salford.
