Right then, 2 wins from 2 as most people would have probably predicted before the season started. Huge game on Thursday v Saints and a chance to really prove our credentials. I don't fancy us to win but as long we compete for a large part of the game and have enhanced our reputation by the end then I'll be happy. If we turn them over I can see a few people struggling to make it in to work on Friday. So far there has been some really impressive individual displays but as expected I don't think the team has fully gelled yet and I see this as the sort of match where we could get found out in that respect.

Does anyone know if Chase/Sau will be fit? Barring that I'm guessing all the other players missing yesterday were rested and will be fine for Thursday?

On the crowd front, last year we had a pitiful 3,248 for this fixture so I'd take 6,500 which would be a great effort considering it's on Sky on a Thursday night. Topping the Wakey crowd would be difficult even with big numbers from Saints. The Wakey match had been pushed for months beforehand and will no doubt have included a few one game wonders.

What are people's predictions?

C'mon Salford!

Rangi will 100% play, I don't think Junior will make it though. I would expect to see Morley, Puletua and Dixon to be recalled too.

I can't wait for this one just to see where we stand against the team I think will go on to win the whole thing come the end of the season. I hope we cut out the stupid tries we've conceded vs Wakefield (sloppy interception) and London (one-on-one steal) as we'll struggle make the points up against better teams. Our pack needs to step it up another notce, I think they've been superb so far but Saints are different proposition. Gareth Hock also needs to keep his cool, we knew what we were getting but I just hope he let's his outstanding talent make the headlines, it will be an emotional game for him (being a Wigan lad an all).

After the Wakefield game I'm hoping for another 7k crowd, Saints will bring double what Wakefield did which should compensate for those floating Salford fans that choose to stay at home and watch on Sky.

Prediction; Saints by 10 with Salford putting in a strong performance but just coming up short.

I think Theo deserves to keep a place in the squad, he was superb yesterday and needs a bench spot at least.

We've had two very poor starts to matches this season and our left edge look vulnerable on a shift play.

We blew hull away for 20mins and won the match. The other 60mins were turd. I think you have a very good chance on thurs

I expect a close game but I can't see us getting the 2 point's, hopefully everyone will be back fit. I wouldn't play Williams if Sau is still out, I'd have Gleeson / Walton centre with Meli / Johnson wing. Saint's 24 Salford 14 6k

How the owner of Salford expects half decent crowds when you are unable to pay on the gate is beyond me.

Unless I'm mistaken you can buy at the ticket office on the day, just need to get there a little earlier?

Yes you can turn up and pay BUT you have to queue at the ticket office & not the turnstile. What is inconvenient about paying online, printing your ticket & walking through the turnstile. It is 2014!

Probably more the printer thing to be honest, virtually everyone has internet access, not nearly as many have a printer.

Or you can just buy them from Saints and have them posted out. It isn't difficult, just people finding excuses not to go.

And exactly how many will that deter?

Do not other grounds operate the same system - Widnes?

You can pay on the day, just not at the turnstile - what's your problem?

really hope theo's game at broncos has put the stuart howarth experiment to bed. theo's class
