Short turn around after a draining but euphoric game against Catalan. Dobbins had a nail biter but have had longer to recover. When the fixtures came out, we knew this. It’s possible we’ll have Peae, Savellio, Bowden or Green, Shaull and Naulongo. Bodies back would certainly be a boost. I’m going for a tight win but my predictions have been way off this season.

I'll delete my thread and add into yours

Rovers should be favourites. Here's why:
They have the sign over us right now, seeking their 3rd consecutive win
All their props back (bar Masoe) - don't think we had any available this week.


Their coach is a "Wizard", ours is a pub landlord
Garbutt is MoS elect
We have home disadvantage
They have effectively had a week off against lower division opposition, whilst we toiled overseas and had to check in at 6.

Keep it respectable, that should be our aim. Discuss.

Good job you said that. I was just about to do the same

Oh oh, Mrs B, wait for it! You know you'll be getting a lot of criticism for taking that approach, don't you?!

I can support every point. You'd expect nothing less.

I’ve been told, not officially, Jamie will not play over Easter, anyone have info.

Mmmmmm forgot about the Wizards Hat. Might have to change my prediction.

Naaaaah, tight win, especially as they won the last in those circumstances.

Huge blow that. Been in vintage form when he's been able to take the field this year.

Not official, and hope it’s not true.

Now now. Conor Wynne has been an able replacement, can see Shaull going to the Darkside

Rovers will win this, I feel. Hall at least two tries including one length of the field effort.

Knowing us we'll then go and beat St Helens.

Agree re Good Friday, but Saints effectively get a bye in their derby based on current form, so that's a big Easter Monday call

Confident that we will win on Friday....which worries me.

Really pleased we rested a few this weekend!

Would assume Paea and Savelio available. Green I think had a chance. Of the many other absentees, who knows?
Shaul
Naulago
Taylor
Matongo
Bowden
Westerman
Nzoungou
Scott
Sanderson
?

I wonder if we will have some players at Red Hall for Disciplinary this week?

The Dobbins always raise their game in their cup final.

Would Radford risk Bowden and Green or give them longer?

Nice try Mrs B apart from Masoe we will also be missing Scruton Greenwood Lannon and possibly Jewiitt from our front row which will leave us with an out of form Mulhearn and a half fit Garbutt whereas yourselves will have six props to pick from but you knew this already should be a comfortable win for you this time

Dobbins will put all their eggs in the good Friday basket and then get blitzed on Easter Monday

What a crock of s++t, be positive FFS,

Shaul won't play for another week, we will have Paea, Savelio, Green, Taylor, Ratu, Westerman and maybe Masi back, Rovers struggled to break down a championship side, we need to come out firing wake up the morgue and back the boys to success.

Oh come on. Not this tired old act again?

Indeed, we should approach every game hoping to win.

One trick pony springs to mind
