Genuinely thought capacity was £12k I know you shouldn't necessarily rely on anything you find there, but according to wiki it's nominally 12k but "certified for 11,404". Stadium record attendance 11,247 for the rah-rahs, I'd take beating that by 1 Segregation means Capacity is 10.8k |

I think we will go three forwards plus Hank on the bench, I'd prefer four forwards including Shorrocks. We need three Props against the Leigh pack, Rowls knows this is the biggest challenge. We also need to kick high to Moylan and hit him early on as he can make mistakes. Finally Cross and Ryan need to stay on their wings and not run in, Cross in particular is prone to this. With Playoff football, we cannot offer teams cheap points. We certainly have enough to score points against Leigh. |

We certainly have enough to score points against Leigh. I'd rather go with 2 props and a utility back like hank, plus shorrocks. There defensive line is the fastest in the comp so we need quick play the balls whereevr possible to get us on some kind of front foot to attack. Think a smaller forward offers this, plus flexibility if we need to change things about a bit. The winger thing is a broken record. This is what Rowley wants them to do and has done all season, so doubt hres going to make them change this week. Last week showed again this is a coached tactic and not down to cross or Ryan so highlighting them personally as an issue is wrong. However, we will get our pants pulled down with this as they have already in each match weve played them, so if he's any Nauce, Rowley will use a more sliding line. But as per the above, hes done it all season so am doubtful |

On BBC Radio Manchester Total Sport last night, as well as having Logan Lewis on, they interviewed Derek Beaumont - he was saying Leigh have sold over 3500 and intend bringing 5000 and 'it'd be interesting to see if Salford can match that'
The club needs to limit the Leigh allocation at 3500.

When they get going and we cant get back quick enough they have busted us time and time again. I personally can't see us winning this as leigh andd hull kr have looked by far the best sides we've played this year. They look well drilled, fast and aggressive. For us, I think the key are the centres and sneyds boot. We have a chance, but I'd only say 30%. Cant wait tbh  |

I agree I think Derek was shouting his mouth off but if the club sell 5k to Leigh you’d have to ask Why?? |

Injuries have hurt all teams this season. They have the better pack we have the superior backs. There is a lot riding on Sneyds kicking game tomorrow. Also we implode on the wings with stupid defence the game gets 30% harder to win. |

Also we implode on the wings with stupid defence the game gets 30% harder to win. Agree with this. Yes they're a good team with some dangerous players but so are we. We were crap at Magic, general discipline was awful and we got a couple of bad calls (IMO) with sin-bins which killed us. Let's stop building them up as something they're not. Wigan & KR are the 2 standout teams this season and then it depends who turns up on the day with the rest of us. Saints are the weak link out of the "also-rans" as they appear to lack any proper game-breakers. Discipline could be the deciding factor tomorrow. Was it Wire at home where we barely conceded a penalty all match? We need a repeat of that to give ourselves a chance.🤞🏼 We start losing players to the bin and it'll be a long night. |

Will be a closely fought game, but we are strong at home, and Leigh will have to be at their best to beat us. If Salford play the way they can, we can beat anyone on our day. Play-off's are a reset. Form means little now, and the small advantages that finishing higher in the table reward, are ours and not theirs.
Whatever happens this season has been a wild ride and I've enjoyed it more than most. Considering we've done the majority of it with only one Halfback and a pack full of "rejects" is pretty crazy. Like SS said, we have the two best centres in SL on our edges and quality sprinkled throughout.
Just hoping that the game isn't decided on a poor decision and both teams play to their best.

Schoey is tipping us by 1 point, he’s less of a WAN⚓️ these days.
We need to hammer Moylan with high balls chase hard and move their forwards around. Matatuia was at fault for two tries last week messing up in the centre, whilst they played well they didn’t smash a poor saints team. We need to take points on offer and continue to build pressure.
As other posters have said we want a fair game. I’m not a Smith fan he either kills us with Sin Bins or just lets stuff go.

Although there are refs I hope don't officiate for SRD, they're only significant if you play badly. Your poor efforts will add to their decisions and that's all.

Really hope we can build on a (near) sellout (irrelevant of the score)
Was just reading why do Salford fans turn up for the playoffs but unless my memory serves me wrong this is only our 2nd home game in the playoffs? (Cas in 2019 being the first?)
I don’t recall that game having this hype but I suppose Leigh deserve a lot of credit too
