Wish we had a Sully, or a Colin Best, one thing we are missing is speed on the edges.

Israel Folau looking for a gig I understand

Exactly what we need, although his religious views on homosexuality, are probably a hot coal which would singe our reputation.

Green and Ratu expected to be available.
Shaul still not been given clearance to play.
Savelio another 2/3 weeks out, ankle problem.
Bowden at least 3 weeks away!!

Who's he? Never heard of him

That team wont be far off
I think Radford will be keen to give the kelly,Connor,Griffin swap around another try .
Kelly was good when he came on and Griffin made an impact in the second row.
As you say several changes for Monday
Ratu and Green will definately play

That team looks good to me. Strong bench as well COYH

Is that what passes for comedy on Preston Rd estate?

I am all for you guys coming on here and poking a bit of fun, but come on man, that's grim.

burtan`s forearm,you despicable piece of humanity.douglas bader was a man who lost both legs fighting for this country in world war 2,and still carried on flying a fighter plane after being fitted with false legs.what has your contribution been to this country??

He's never been the same man since the O'Brien drop kick. Hence the Griffin inclusion,Shame really because before that trauma he was making real progress.

well the warning was well heeded then

Rovers are the scum of the earth
“There should be just one team in Hull”

do you have your sky dish attached to the windbreaker that protects your beach house or do you go to the pub to watch the game

Pre game - Cod, Malt Shovel, Brownies, Griffin, Albert, Parkers.
Post game - Taxi back to the coast and home to sulk straight after the game if things don't pan out.
Blasted round town and taxi to the coast Saturday AM if we do the biz.
Fine margins.

Hey hey sphincter - I watch on Fox Sports live. Great news is that it'll be 10pm for KO so will be such a laugh before I go to bed. Will have won enough money to buy a house on Poorhouse Lane.

The beach house is self sufficient as the cleaners and security keep an eye on it. Melbourne is having a beautiful Indian Summer as it was 28c last night when I got home after watching tennis at Melbourne Park.

Long way from the delights of Wyndham St in the 70s

Cheers EY.

He was only 20/21 at the time of the accident - astonishing strength of character.

Will be difficult given that we have more first choice players out than them, but we have to play the challenging hand we've been dealt and get on with it.

ZZZzzzzz that 17 is easy strong enough to beat rovers, challenging hand we’ve been dealt , what at home against an average rovers team , could be a lot worst

There's nothing easy when you're missing your full back, winger, 2 props and back rower. Playing 2 18 year olds in any Derby is a risk but one we need to try and mitigate.

We’ve our 1,5,10 missing from our first 13 squad numbers, considering Ellis, paea, Connor and manu ain’t in that 13 , seems pretty strong to me , hardly a bad hand we’ve been dealt , plus the young full back as looked more than capable , our starting 5 as retired and not played this season , so not really sure we could be really to much stronger at this time of the year
