Not sure to be honest, we have a couple out but the starting 1-7 is Brierley, Sio, Cross, Lafai. Burgess, Croft and Syned. I think Sarge is missing currently.

Of that I would take Lafai and Croft only. Burgess and Sio are no better than What we have and Hardaker, Lam and Leutele are better
Assuming Amone is free to play with no evidence to support, then our pack will be heavily on top

You rate your wingers above Burgess and Sio? Wow, Sio has been either top or 2nd in the try SL scoring charts for the past couple of years. Most SL teams would take Sio and Burgess over Charnley / Briscoe or Chamberlain. Fair enough Hardaker and Leutele are decent and a threat.

Well there must be evidence to support surely or he wouldn’t have been charged - my understanding of this is that it would take something out of the ordinary not to have a 6-8 game ban

I’d have Sio in a heartbeat, no question. We just need to stop the ball getting out to him !

Can wait for Friday, deffo want to spoil the Leyther party but equally hope its a good game and Derek's season opening spectacular gets an awesome Crowd. Fair play with the band and all that.

I can't. A good game, and a Leopards win will do me nicely. Should be a great night.

It would be nice to get a SL season off to a winning start for once.

I don't believe Salford have won away to Leigh since 2005, and certainly haven't won at LSV. I'm hoping that tune doesn't change this time!

Having said that, Paul Rowley has won plenty of games at LSV...

Looks like we are almost sold out on our two ticket allocations for the visit on Friday - Is it just the East stand now that is available for tickets?

Still quite a few left in west stand, and it now seems the last 2 blocks of the East stand have been unallocated- presumably that is now for you guys - and hats off to you, seems like a crackin turnout bySalford fans - be a beltin atmosphere

That is good to know thanks. Whilst I'm not into Derek's love of Leopard print, his vision for the first home game is superb, setting the bar high. Glad that Salford fans are buying in reckon we will have at least 1,750 in attendance.
