Prost spoke to former St. Helens assistant, now Salford head coach Marshall about the upcoming game in the last eight and his views on what it would be like to reach the final, after his side made the final at Wembley last season.
“There’s only two competitions, this is a prestigious comp that we want to be a part of.
“It’s great that we’re in the quarter-finals but to get to a final in your first season as head coach would be great but we just need to concentrate on having a good performance this week”.
Having not started the season in the best form, winning just one out of five so far, Marshall says the Red Devils’s league form is irrelevant when you play in the cup.
“It’s a completely different competition so our league form goes out the window.
“Our last performance in this competition was very good, albeit against a championship team”.
Under former head coach, Ian Watson it was a fantastic achievement to make the final last year, where Salford fell short by a drop goal to the Leeds Rhinos.
Two players who signed for Salford in the offseason, Harvey Livett and Declan Patton were topic of conversation and two players Marshall highlighted.
“Harvey’s been great, he’s been one of our better players.
“He’s only a young man, played in a couple of different positions for us. He’s up there as one of our better performers”.
“Dec has come in and filled, filled a gap for us at hooker. He’s not played in his preferred position in the halves yet.
“I’m sure at some point he’ll get to play in the position that he wants but he’s done a really good job when he’s come in so far”.
Castleford, in complete contrast to the team from the AJ Bell, have won four out of five to start the season. The 45-year-old head coach talked about the threats Castleford pose.
“Well you’ve got to shut the players down with Cas, they’re a very good attacking side.
“I think once they get over that halfway line and they’re twenty metres away from the goal line, they are going to ask you questions. Not once, not twice but throughout the sets”.
If Salford have any chance of defeating the side from West Yorkshire on Saturday, Marshall’s key players will need to step up.
“We’ve got to make sure our key players play well and put their hands up.”
