I'll reserve judgement 'til I see who replaces them, but that is quite a lot of first-teamers out. Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Cheshire Setter 1,199 Report post Posted September 27 I'm not sure why Widdop is rested. I'd get him some game time as he's hardly played this year anyway. Ratchford returns so I'd have Ashton at the back with Ratchford and Dean in the halves, Patton on the bench. Looking forward to seeing how the academy stars fill in. Longstaff and Robson did okay last time the chips were down so I'm hoping the others take their chance to impress too. Thewlis was very impressive on his debut last year, as was Dean.

Luis Johnson. Interesting that Shelford gets a chance. He wasn't even brought in for that purpose I believe, more as a leader to help the academy kids transition? And it also takes me back to being a kid to see a 'K Shelford' on the team sheet. Edited September 27 by Cheshire Setter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought he showed some classy touches against a good, physical Catalans. Looks like Price has shown his hand early and it will be interesting to see how Salford react to the tuesday game.

I don’t think there is an law about fielding your strongest side though is there? I think it would be wrong for any criticism or discussion of punishment for squad rotation during this season where we are having to play more than 2 games a week. I think we will see a fair bit more of this, and tbh it is something I'm looking forward to seeibg as the season goes on. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just Browny 7,167 Report post Posted September 27 Slightly surprised to see quite as many changes, but the semi is a big game and we cannot afford to take Salford lightly in it. Price and the coaching staff will know better than me how the players' bodies are fixed to play as many games as we are going to have to, and we do have a big squad. Quote I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
