Big game this against a team that has caused us problems in all three games this year and are in good form, win and we are in a good position and could potentially rest a couple of players for the Hudds game.
Hopefully full strength and some big selection headaches for the boss.
The two big selection debates are Griffin or Connor and does Michaels take Fonua's place after a couple of errors ridden displays.
Certainly winnable game if we perform how we can, I hope we treat this game as a cup game.

Fonua whilst great in attack is defensively weak, on the wing it's not as pronounced but still obvious but in the centre he's at times just awful. Griffin is no great shakes defensively either and I just hope that Saints don't take advantage of those weaknesses if they are picked. We need a performance to equal that against Leeds in the semi-final if not better or we'll come unstuck.

Salford definately targeted Griffin/Fonua edge. As knocker pointed out both are weak defensively. I would play Michaels with Fonua at centre for what he brings to the attack. Dont see the point risking Sneyd if he is carrying an injury.
for me this year michaels defence has dropped off, id would rather have griffin fonua and with more game time sort out some of the problems they have been having occasionally,
