Thursday night Salford take on Warrington Wolves at the Halliwell Jones stadium, it promises to be a epic encounter with both sides looking for a win. Dan Robinson takes you though all the pre match info.
Griffin has been a strong leader in the pack so far this season and like his fellow front rower Kopczak he has done the hard work both in attack and defence. Having been given the number 10 jersey at the start of the year he has really been a valued member of the Red Devils this season so far and will look to continue in good performances on Thursday night.
The big powerful unit of sims will be looking to get on the front foot come Thursday. He does like the tough side of the game and the Reds will need to keep a close eye on him come Thursday. Hopefully the Reds big guns can keep Mr Sims night very quiet.
Both key players for their respective sides. Rob Lui needs to shine on Thursday. A fantastic start to the 2016 campaign but in recent weeks has not been up to the mark. Everyone knows what he is capable of and hopefully this will be seen at the home of the wolves. Sandow has been the main player in the Warrington side this season. He has won some games single handed and none other then the return fixture at the AJ Bell earlier on in the season slotting over the winning drop goal on the hooter. The Red Devils will have to stop the wolves number 7 before he even gets started.
After his man of the match performance against the Tigers on Friday night the Reds utility back will look to repeat this at the home of his former employers. His first return to the Wolves since leaving for the Reds O'Brien will look to show them what they lost and what the Reds gained. I feel his kicking game will be crucial come Thursday.
O'Brien made over 61 appearances for the wolves from 2011-2015 scoring 229 points. Whilst with the wolves he made a variety on loan moves to Saints, Cas Tigers, Widnes and Swinton Lions. He is now a regular fixture in the Devils side.
Ratchford spent 5 years at Salford coming through the academy ranks and making over 78 appearances for the first team in that time scoring 146 points in the process. He moved to the wolves in 2012 and has won the challenge cup with them. Stefan is a crutial cog in the warrington machine and it will be a interesting battle to see who comes out on top.
