Salford's 2022 Super League season kicks off with what will be an intriguing encounter away at Castleford on Friday evening.
If either side is set for a strong showing over the course of the campaign, the likelihood is that the respective new coaches will be relying on key performances from the men they've handed each club's number one jersey to.
For Lee Radford at the Tigers, that man is former Red Devils favourite Niall Evalds, while Paul Rowley's first-choice fullback this year will be Ryan Brierley, the boyhood Salford supporter who will be linking up with the ex-Leigh and Toronto coach for the third time.
