1895 final.

Stu Murphy suggests in his interview that we could pull out of the final altogether if the Sheffield game cannot be arranged for a suitable date, although AC's post match interview suggests that could just be hot air.

we will get a dress rehearsal this weekend.

any idea on how ticket sales are going?

id expect a good turnout from our fans, the gap between the semi and the final certainly doesn't help, nor the silly scheduling on a BH Monday in the summer holidays.

Another bumper week for bonus points. Ceejay1 and Pensioner got clean sweeps and another eight of us got a bonus point. The biggest jump was one place and lots of us got that as well, so I won't list everyone here.

There's a full round this week plus one game from round nineteen.

I've said this before, but he really is a quality footballer!

Had his troubles in the past temperament wise, at his previous clubs, but Brad Arthur has worked wonders with him, and it's showing in spades on the park!

He was ignored for the Ashes, but he must be a cert for the World Cup!

Realise early doors yet but be interesting to see thoughts

jack out for sure along with Fleming, mcwhirter and the other chap

therefore

backs really need Joe edge back and assume we play Taylor again in centre

full back and wingers are no problem

half backs same

forwards

assume Murray,JJ,chapelhow

Baldrock, wilde

wilde

He’s got a 2 matches ban for pushing the Barrow player last week, but doesn’t start till next week.

But Toal who made the bad tackle that led to the fight near the end , didn’t get a ban. Obviously not as dangerous as pushing someone 🙄

Left Saints less than a year into his tenure, and just a day before the derby with Pies.

Andrew Badrock & Nathan Wilde from Leigh join for rest of the season.

A prop & second row I know little about. Both are in the squad for Salford. Reaction?

Squad for Salford

Farnworth Viking — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 21:30:36 +0000

Our 2 new on loan signings are in it, but Edge is still missing, I presume he must still be getting headaches , after his head knock, that’s 6 matches now, which is a bit worrying., and Roberts either dropped or injured .
