Interesting squad with Gilmore and Fleming in there 

I hope Connell starts at fb and I suspect with butt out, edge will be on the wing  with Jack and Sambou in centres

Hb - interesting - is Tom fit ?
Forwards surely Murray, JJ, chapelhow

then the fun starts !
mine would be Wilde,roberts and mcwhirter 

with subs

fozzy,Lawton,houghton / bibby and hall

Connell must start at full back.

Along with Gilmore Lawton is also in the squad but will they play ?

I am surprised Houghton has not been retained. I thought he did ok last week & is a biggish unit & deserved another run.

I fear Gregson will be in at 13 instead of Mc Whirter who will probably once again be used as a prop.

Sadly I think you are correct about loose forward

also missed that houghton was not in the squad - is he the next to join salfraud ?

IMHO we shouldn't be lending players to our competitors. Sadly because there's no Champ1 the only place they can gain game time & experience is in our division (Thank you, The RFL).

The Irony is, MCB's consortium were vetted to allow Salford into the league, when obviously, they haven't sufficient funding & player roster. None of this was afforded to Featherstone. 

Personally, I'm not bothered if a few clubs go belly up, as there are still a good few that are not sustainable, and we need a cull to strengthen the Sport. Lots of people will disagree, but that's fine by me.
