So it’s the annual Grand Final for the dobbins

They always want to win this but is it all tee’d up
nicely for the FC win ?

Balmforth gets a full game now ?
Sao looked unfit to me so will we miss him ?

Could Moy have a ‘breakout’ game and run dobbins
ragged like Shaul used to in the early days ?

I am so looking forward to this and so much
more than 2 months ago !!

If we win this then east hull council estates may
Implode !!

Arro’s March home is a long way

Come on FC

Couple more injuries picked up yesterday.

Moy
Briscoe
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Martin
Trueman
Reynolds
Ese Ese
Smith
Aydin
Lane
Chan
Fash

Balmforth
Gardiner
Jebson
Laidlaw

Reynolds eligible to play against Kr?

Hopefully not over by half time like the last 2 is probably the best we can hope for

I can see Rovers saying Reynolds can't play.

A third derby win of the season for Rovers, I'm afraid.

Prefect opportunity to bring Charles in for Reynolds and just tell him to have fun without too much pressure. Nobody expects us to win anyway and hopefully the forwards look in a better position now to allow a better platform. I think they might go with Smiths experience though at 7 if Reynolds is ineligible.

Smith will probably be at Hooker instead of Houghton

If we play Smith at 7 then Grix head has exploded. I'm still hoping Cartwright is ok. That maybe wishful thinking. I hope Sao is ok and I'd start him at prop. Bench will be very inexperienced if not.

Ps announce Sailor!

Cartwright still in a boot this morning

Rovers must be really worried if they refuse Reynolds to play against them lol

Have you seen him?

Reynolds leaving to sign for another club on 18 month deal, announced by the club

Fair play to him he has to look after himself.

Seen on Instagram a picture of Cartwright at Burstwick golf course with the boot still on

Been good for us Reynolds but would never have been a first choice player moving forward. For us, it really will be a Hull derby with academy prospects really at the forefront. I make about 10 players in our 17

1. Moy
2. Martin
5. Briscoe
7. Charles
9. Balmforth
11. Lane
12. Kirby
13. Fash
14. Gardner
15. Jebson

That’s without including people like Litten, Laidlow and Armstrong who might get a call up and Houghton and Staveley who realistically would be playing if fit.

Going to be a tough day against a very good rovers side but the future is bright.

This is a decent rover's team but I would not judge them very very good

The key is to slow them down but with all of the players left and missing with injuries it's a tall order. We've seen rovers looking completely inept when teams slow down their quick PTB. Let them get a roll on and they'll muller us

Have a feeling someone will be wearing the famous number 50 shirt on Saturday

what's famous about it?

Maybe it's famous as no team has had to use it before??

Could there be a snake in it??

Have to say regarding Reynolds that losing him will be a huge blow as despite our reservations when it was announced he was joining us, he has played well and been an integral part of the turn around.

Best of luck to him, in a short career he has to look after himself and family and the security of a permanent deal is a priority.

Jake the snake? Naaaaaah.

Another loss on the cards, but hopefully we give them a scare. We’ve been in within 8 points in the past 5 games and are clearly more competitive.

Reynolds will be a big miss, looking forward to seeing Charles again. Balmforth at 9 with Smith.

Sao fit or number 50 to play?!

Jack Charles as good as ruled out for Saturday, it will most likely be Smith in the Halves should we not dip into the loan market.
