James Child is the referee. I was looking forward to the game but I suspect he will spoil it for me in part now. He's so weak.

Its not as bad as it seems tho as being on tv he has two blokes in the VR booth to keep him on track, so over to you B.Thaler and R.Silverwood

england banned. Looks like they'll be struggling to put out a competitive team. 2 easy points for rovers. wire may struggle to make the 8

Don't you ever give up? Go and play with the traffic you stupid cock.

Warrington are a similar side to us this year, as in you never know whether jekyll or Hide will turn up, but it's an important game for both teams in terms of top 8. Hopefully we can keep putting the pressure on those just above us.

Who exactly are warrington missing through injury, would have though they had a big enough squad to cover 4 or 5?

Give up what? He's spot on. Only 17 fit first team members, never a better time to play them.

Apart from grix and Russell , nobody who get into their starting 13 according to their fans on the wire board. Guess which ever half back pairing clicks will take the spoils. As for childs as referee, just be grateful you don't have thomasson in the middle.

I expect them to be more competitive than injury hit Salford were a while back at the KC where they were asking assistant coaches and ground staff to play and they never looked like making the top eight.
Two injury hit teams but I do expect Rovers to be to strong but far from an easy two points.

We're not injury hit, we are just ..

Simon Grix, Matthew Russell and maybe Ryhs Evans would get in our 17 but the rest are back benchers.

Problem is we only have 2 decent props in our squad this year, one supporting half back who can't control a game and worst of all, we have no spine at the minute.

Away from home. Rovers 2 pts

Your usual bog standard post,its seems your wrong as usual.

No Ben Currie and Gareth O'Brien in your squad. Are they injured?

Both knocked out playing Huddersfield so presuming either not able to under concussion regs, or left out on that basis anyway.

Ben Currie will be replaced by Ben Westwood, and I've not seen the team but betting Dec Patton replaces Gareth O'Brien (like for like)

None of what I wrote is wrong. Last week 18 fit, since lost England = 17.

Doesn't really tell the story tho does it, you could have 8 or 9 injured but your first 17 fit and its no problem or equally you could have 2 or 3 of the first 17 missing and it cause real problems.

tbf still looks a decent wires team,should be a good match

Dangerous to assume anything from the 19 but if Mantellato makes it we're not in too bad a shape, despite missing arguably our two key players in Lunt and Campo.
It remains to be seen if Lunt will ever play for us again, if this back injury continues. So in some ways, this is potentially as close to our strongest starting 13 available we've got now (Prob Tilse aside).

On paper for me ...
Ben Cockayne

Ken Sio
Liam Salter
Kris Welham
Josh Mantellato

Maurice Blair
Albert Kelly

Adam Walker
John Boudebza
Tony Puletua

Kevin Larroyer
Graeme Horne
Tyrone McCarthy

James Greenwood, James Donaldson, Greg Burke + one of Kieran Dixon, Aaron Ollett, Jordan Cox.

I can't really decide what the best option is for the last bench slot. With Horne back, he adds options if in the event the backs need shuffling. So if Dixon doesn't replace BC or JM, is KD needed in the 17? Our starting back rowers offer good minutes, so do we need to be top heavy on the bench?

rovers will win this one. wire have been getting increasingly worse. They have no half backs of not, a below average kicking game and no real quality in the forwards other than hill. I think they may miss out on the top 8 the rate they're going. They have some tough fixtures left

Would maybe agree with you if we had our first choice 2015 team, but we have lost a few key players ourselves.

Think Rovers can win this one. Good record at home to Warry.

Really I seem to only remember more defeats than wins

W4 L6 in all competitions since promotion to SL.

Currie, Russell, both Evans boys and Grix would all be in the 17 - possibly 4 of the 5 would start. England is suspended. O'Brien plays games but i wouldn't call him first choice and he's out too.

I think Wire are there for the taking. They are in no form at all whereas Rovers are getting forwards and confidence back. I think you'll win this one which will set you up nicely for next Thursday.

There's more FC fans confident of a Rovers win on here than us Rovers fans. Unbelievable
