While Tuesday’s squad will not necessarily be the same as the one that competed in those fixtures, Binnion says there can be learning to take from that campaign for the players that are set to be involved in the tournament again this week, and over the coming months.
“Maybe a third or half the squad that were involved at Salford last year might play on Tuesday night,” our Under-21s lead coach added. “You’re hoping those lads have a better understanding of what’s coming and can help the others or at least show the others with their own performance the maturity that they’ve developed
“So, you’re definitely looking for that in the players, and then the lads that haven’t played it before, you’re looking for them to show their best and to be able to adapt to a different type of opposition, a different type of game, that’s what we’re looking for as a group of staff.”
