Discuss Salford Red Devils v Wakefield Trinity here.

[Rioman]

Wakefield Trinity by 10

[DavidM]

Salford by 12

[Oxford]

On form Wakey, on desperation SRD!

[The Mighty Trin]

It happens more than often, Salford take their home advantage and normally beat us at their patch and vice verser when Salford come to Belle Vue I always fancy our chances and it pans out this way. Think we will lose this but we should have enough points in the bag now providing we take the vital 2 pts at St James's.

Score Prediction Salford 22-12 Trinity.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Real home and away fixture is this.  Salford played a sneaky covid card to avoid travelling to BV last season (Copping a £25k fine if I recall) and we took the points earlier this year.  Over at Salford we do seem to fall apart for some reason. Remember last years game when we must have thrown more passes into the seating than into the hands of our wingers. 

Betfred have Salford 8/15 and Wakefield 13/8.  suggesting they feel the same.

Jack Smith in charge.  Think he's recently usurped  Kendall as the worst out there so owt could happen

[StandOffHalf]

Salford City Reds to get over the line.

24-16

[Agbrigg]

Only one prediction i can cofidently make about this game, is that the performance of the referee will be poor. 

[Cw25]

Salford 18-22 Wakefield

Impossible.

[Wakey Til I Die]

Wakey by loads. Have Salford actually got any forwards?

[Harry Stottle]

No disrespect to Wakey but a Salford victory please, albeit I don't want either club to be relegated I do not wish to see Salford dragged into an end of season dogfight.

No. Most are out injured. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Salford by 18.

That’s what i thought and it’s where we’ll win the game. I see Escare is out for the season as well now. They are doing it tough. 

[johnh1]

We just can’t get a break. Think we are down to 18 fit players now.

[idrewthehaggis]

Sure if you take your boots you might get a game, sure we have a curious referee and his curious rulings, but when it comes to it, the team that wants it more will win.

This is a 4 pointer, need to win game. 

[Trojan Horse]

Looking at the two teams Wakefield have more injuries in the backs (Tupou, Johnstone, Lyne and Kershaw mainly) yet look pretty healthy in the forwards except Arona on international duty.
 

Salford look healthy in the backs and less so in the forwards yet they still have some handy players to field. 
 

i would hope Wakefield players and coach don’t buy into this injury crisis as looking at the 17 it’s a handy one that can do the job. 
 

Should be a competitive game this one.

Salford name just a 19 man squad. That's all we have left.

[1315trinity]

Depends on which Wakefield Trinity turns up. 

Despite no Lyne, Johnstone or Arona we have enough quality to win this game (as with at least three others we should have won already!)

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Salford get the ;points.

[DG70]

Salford are down to the bare bones but comparing the 2 teams and Salford are at home I think they'll get the win.

They might be low on troops but they have their starting 1-9 + 13 out on the park and also a number of forwards you’d argue would be in their starting line up too available. 
 

Yes they are missing some but they have the majority of who you’d expect their starting 17 available. 
 

it’s hardly a poor squad and I would hope trinity do not take them lightly.

They are in better shape than trinity in some areas of the field injury wise, especially in the backs. 
 

Something I don’t think other teams realise but with Tupou, TJ, Lyne, Kay and Kershaw injured in the backs we have played the majority of this season with a 19 and 20 year old on the left. Though they do look like absolutely quality young players.

I'm not buying that. 

Clubs have squads to rotate players due to form or cover for the preferred first 17. Doesn't mean the players coming in are bad players or even less in quality.

we've got out share of injuries now and in recent seasons have had horrendous situations regarding injuries but got on with it.

The players Salford put out will be competitive and for me this could go either way.

Exactly,

Trin really scrapping the barrel on their three quarters. Even their 19 year old player you mention now out injured.

Would be a real achievement to win with that back line.

Don't need them.
