There's no chance of Hull agreeing to a postponement and quite right too. It's their own fault they don't have a proper 19 because of their suspensions. i feel a little for Salford, but it's a little embarrassing them asking for a postponement just because they don't want to play their kids.
Absolutely ridiculous even asking the question! I cant believe they have had the cheek to ask you to postpone! Every team has injuries, every club has a 19's. Throw the kids in and see how they go. Cant see you guys even contemplating the stupid request (or if your decision makers have contemplated it then they are as daft as Salford are for asking).
Embarrassing of Salford to even ask. Get on with it and use your kids. Every club has had an injury crisis at some point and the suspensions are their fault.

It's a bit naughty that, IMO. The fact that even Salford fans are saying it shouldn't happen backs that up. Their situation is unfortunate, but one that all clubs just have to accept on the rare occasions it happens.
Kind of forces us into a bad light unfairly, too. If we now refuse (as we should) we look like the bad guys trying to take advantage of their plight. If we happen to lose we'll then also be ridiculed.
Sky news are saying the match may be postponed now........
Anyone know if Salford have asked the RFL for this, because if they do I can see that bunch of halfwits agreeing
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;

Our current injury list; Ben Jones Bishop, Junior Sa’u, Josh Griffin, Michael Dobson, Tommy Lee, Adrian Morley, Liam Hood, Wayne Godwin, Adam Walne, Jordan Walne, Luke Menzies, Jay Walton and Kevin Locke.
Added to the above the suspended Rangi Chase, Weller Hauraki and Cory Paterson.
Crazy situation.
Your injury list is shocking but as you say the game should go ahead. We don't play in a pub league despite the fact our attacking structure may suggest otherwise.
