I hope you are right. But with only Jammer and LMS as props for the game, it's hard to see how any rotation policy is going to work.

We had Ade Gardner rotating into the second row in that game and we're going to be 1 or 2 men down from that. I just hope the academy debutants Royce is talking about will be physically up to playing against the rough and ready skullduggery of the Championship players.

Indeed. I'd be tempted to use Soliola as a rotation prop for this game. That would at least give us a bit of physical presence coming off the bench. We can only hope that the Gardner-in-the-back-row thing was purely down to the fact that we lost a man in the warm-up and were restricted in our options. Presumably we'll be able to dip into our reservoir of unspectacular yet reasonably dependable young back rowers to get us through this one. Or perhaps Ben Karalius will get a game, allowing Wilkin to move back into the pack.

Have we seen a 19 man squad yet?
To be fair, it might be a good day to get Karalius involved.

Should be released by the end of the day. They are up to 15 names now, hopefully be a couple more once the triage nurse has done her rounds.

Definitely worth a few pounds on fev to beat the handicap, and a fiver on an upset could even pay off. These two cup games have come at the perfect time or we would almost certainly have dropped 6 league points with the team in this state

it wont be fun, and it wont be pretty - but looking at the 19 man squad, we should have enough to avoid it being a worry.

The Featherstone game is certainly causing excitement on their Forum.

Excitement, show us a bit of respect old cock, most of us have seen Rovers win the cup more than once and the championship, we also well remember the days we used to beat the like of saints on a regular basis. There is a lot of us coming to support out team Sun but lets have it right here a 2nd round game away to st helens in Widnes is not the biggest game many of us have ever seen
Im also pretty confident you wont see a more passionate away following all season.

wrong forum fool

Well at least my post got you excited, I could not find any reference to the game on your forum and could not understand why.

Fev haven't got a prayer tomorrow, with a full team we might have run you close with the injuries you've got but Fev are missing 5 key players tomorrow in Saxton, Kain, Tonks, Netherton and Morrison!

Many years ago I went to Featherstone to watch an all conquering team hammer Featherstone, the game was played in freezing conditions, our Hero Vinty Karalius had a nightmare game as did one or two others and we got beat. Hope history does not repeat itself

You're a bit late. We did that to Carlisle in the 1980s. But whatever!

Well, I hope you enjoy the trip and the match regardless of the result. Although obviously I hope the result goes in Saints favour!

Saints beat Carlisle 112-0, AWAY, when it was only 3 points for a try!

Beat that.

Pretty sure it was at home?

Very good, lets hope you can keep your passion under control.

it was, and it was 4 points for a try.

20 tries and 16 goals.

I can confirm that it was at home, left the ground when we got 100 points up with less than 2 mins left. Got home and found they had put in 12 more points in the last 90 seconds.

Wasn't that Trafford we beat by 100 odd at home?

I'm sure i went a saints game at home when we put 11 odd on a team and the name Trafford springs to mind.

I think we might have put a slightly lower score on Trafford Borough(?) around 1990. 102 or summat. But the Carlisle game is definitely the record.

Anyone got a radio link online for this game?
