Battle 1
Dobson v Jacks
Both halfbacks have been outstanding for the respective sides this season and I see this battle as being a good one to watch. As I have said in many battles this season Michael Dobson has been a real leader for the Red Devil's this season and the partnership with him and Rob Lui has caused most opponents trouble in 2017. His kicking game has been very good and to watch him control the attack along with Lui has been magical at times this season. This season he also has crossed the try line a few times and will no doubt look to build on this come 12:15 on Sunday.
Rhys Jacks has been a bit of an unknown quantity with the Wolfpack. The halfback,like Dobson has really been a key player for the Canadian side and I believe there huge point scoring has been brought on by his fantastic playmaking skills and organisation. I have watched most of The Wolfpacks games this season and I hope the Devils won't rely on their super league experience come game time as this will be a very very tough encounter.
Battle 2
BMM v MoiMoi
Probably 2 of the biggest men in the game come head to head on Sunday and I for one am looking forward to seeing this. Since signing his new 3 year deal with the Reds BMM has really shown what he is capable off both on attack and defence. The hard running big hitting forward has scored some quality tries this season and on his day is unstoppable at times.
If you are a fan of rugby league in general you all know the name Fui Fui Moi Moi. The ex New Zealand international prop forward has made a career on big performances and his ability to break a defence down with some strong runs has been sensational over the years. Coming to the end of his career unlike BMM the ex Leigh man will no doubt want to show what he is capable of against quality Super League opponents at the AJ Bell on Sunday.
Battle 3
Mossop v Bailey
These 2 man mountains will come head to head in the game this weekend and expect fire works from both men. Mossop as I have said before has been a great addition to the Red Devil's forward line and will look to again show his worth against some good opposition. His no nonsense style of play really stands out and his ability to get over the game line is what has impressed me and a lot of Salford fans in 2017.
Ryan Bailey has been handed a life line from Toronto in 2017 as most thought after his exit from Warrington at the end of 2016 would be his last in rugby league. The league one side have looked to Bailey to add some super league experience to their ranks and I think Bailey is the right man for that job. At the age of 32 Bailey believe his still has what it takes to be a solid performer and will look to try and silence the vocal supporters from Salford on Sunday.
Ex Reds
Adam Sidlow, Jake Emmitt and Andrew Dixon wore the Red shirt with pride during their time at Salford and will be looking to cause a cup upset on Sunday.
