Not sure what to expect of this game.   We came back from France with our tails between our legs, well beaten and with a few injuries apparently (Holmes, Blake, Okunbor, Taufua, Pele)  Not sure how serious they are - makes our decision not to sign Tindall look a bit daft given the lack of cover in the backs.    Then we have Salford who are in a proper pickle that will be very familiar to us.   No idea what kind of side they'll put out or how committed they'll be.   As we know if can go one of two ways - backs to the wall or complete capitulation.  
If we go through to the next round - and this is probably very unlikely - where does it leave us with the 1895 Cup?   Do we get IMG points for going deep in the challenge cup?   If not then it's probably not worth risking anyone this week.

We should put the reserves out they had a win last week.

Sounding like Holmes is going to be out long term. 
What’s Jayden Myers up to these days?

Hooley to come in on loan from Cas Tigers - anyone heard how long Holmes might be out?

Myers to cover for Tafua would be a decent shout, aren't we meant to have an option on him if he isn't playing for Wakey?

I think we are meant to have first option (whatever that means)  on Myers this season. 
If we’re signing Hooley on loan (academy product!) then Holmes has to be out for a while. 
And Taufua had a hamstring issue according to Nobby after the match, so again, could be a few weeks 

Holmes is a long term injury hence why we’ve brought in Hooley.

What sort of long term injury?  Hooley at fullback is a decent replacement.  If we're potentially without Blake, Okunbor and Taufua as well we're going to need more than just Myers.
