Tough game, good side on a paper and confidence will be high after two wins (although against poor sides). Sneyd looks to have his Mojo back, kicking game looks good and even scored a try by running. Big game for Swift against Sio, really struggled against him last season away and he is in great form.
Connor back is massive, easily our most important player, Carlos too makes a huge difference. Get our discipline right and think we will win this one.

The problem is we haven't got our discipline right and have shown no signs of improvement. Hodgson needs to get on top of this as his number 1 priority, we aren't good enough as a team to keep giving the opposition a leg up. Otherwise it will be his downfall.

We'll have to be good defensively. Salford have plenty of strike all across the pitch. Sio, Sarginson, Burgess and Brierley. throw in Croft and Sneyd who have started well by all accounts, albeit against poorer opposition.

Rowleys teams like to throw the ball around.

They aren't the biggest of packs, but at thr moment neither are we. Expecting Gale to be missing for the next few games, hopefully Connor being back will soften thr blow a little

Just having a player not sent off would be a great start.

Really not sure what to expect for this game to be honest, with the players we have still missing and the inevitable bans. As has been said the discipline needs sorting out and although I don't think on the whole we have been as bad as the penalty count given against us but we need to be smarter and not give the officials any opportunity to penalise us.

We also need to be much smarter all round to be honest as we played some of the dumbest rugby against St's and hopefully Connor being back will help with that.

Going to be interesting to see what players are available for this weekend.

So, as expected we are 1 from 2 and three games in you are calling this game as a "must win" . I am not sure what is funnier, your love of a cliche or the fact that you consider this as a must win. You are funny

Correct on our pack size and if you remember the match against you guys at the AJ Bell last season we foolishly tried to take you on down the middle for most of the first half. As soon as we twigged we weren't going to get any joy and started moving the ball wide we ran your big outside backs ragged.

I'd expect us to play an expansive game again next week. I've been tipping Hull for top 3/4 for the last few seasons but something always seems missing and you fell away really badly last year. Normally I'm fairly pessimistic when we travel to your place but I think we have a chance of nicking this one. Sneyd has been excellent so far and Croft is a cracking player. I think we're going to surprise a fair few teams this year as let's be honest the vast majority of fans have us down as finishing bottom 2/3. I think we're more than capable of making the lower reaches of the top 8.

Out of interest, any idea why this is a 3pm Saturday kick off? Can't see the logic in it when Hull City, Man Utd & Salford City are all playing Saturday afternoon. I know a few of us Salford fans have divided loyalties and I'm sure you'll have the same with FC/City.

I was wondering the same seems a bit odd.

I can't figure out our fixtures at all this year! 3pm on a Saturday, our next home game I'm pretty sure is 6.45pm on a Sunday night!

Fans were supposedly consulted as to what they thought would be the best kick off times (either Friday Nights or Saturday/Sunday afternoons), and the fans chose the latter. Yet to speak or know anybody who was involved in these apparent talks. Do however know people who've had passes for years who didn't bother getting one this season because of clashing with the football.
