Preview: Salford v Wakefield (Round 13)

Salford will be aiming to make up lost ground when they take on Wakefield at The Willows.

After opening up with seven wins from their first nine matches, the Reds have lost three in a row to slip to fifth in the table but coach Karl Harrison laughs off suggestions that their bubble has burst.

Harrison warned: ?People have been talking about the bubble but they will under-estimate us at their peril.

?The players are all happy and they?re looking forward to the rest of the season.?

Wakefield have received an unexpected boost with the availability of New Zealand Test forward David Solomona, who was unable to travel to Brisbane because of passport difficulties.

Harrison added: ?He?s a genuine quality player. We?re disappointed that he?s playing against us but we have put in place a few plans to upset him."
