Think it would be a good game to leave Dobson out. He is not right and I think with Green and Murrell in the halfs we should have enough. Think we have a few injuries to look after. My team would be....

1. Brisc
2. Fox
3 Hall
4, Welham
5. Colborn
6. Green
7, Murrell
8, Vella
9. Hogson
10. Clinton
11. Newton
12. Nev
13. Charlie

14. Wheely
15. Taylor
16. Watts
17. Blood one of the youngsters with utility value?

Think Fisher, Galea Dobson and Webster could all miss out.

Still should be enough this week.

I said the same about Dobson, if he is struggling, it could be the week to rest him. However, we can't underestimate any of the competition. To rest too many would be a real risk. I think to say we could go without; Webster, Fisher, Galea and Dobson as well as having two on the bench with limited SL experience is being over confident imo.

My thoughts exactly, Catalan would love to see a teamsheet like that as they are flying over.

Out of our first 6 games the one they'll have put a maybe next to would have been Warrington but all the others will be seen as games we can and should be winning. Although it is not how you start but how you finish it would be a big help to be 10pts out of 12 by the time we hit a run of very tough games.

agree but would say cas away will be more than tricky also

Every game will be tricky even Salford will be. Look at Wakey last week, you'd have thought with the players they have just lost they would have been hammered but they went and won. So no game will be easy and any looking further than the next game will be turned over by whoever they play.

My point is that Rovers will have a tick next to 5 out of 6 games that they think are winnable and a maybe next to the Wire one. Not being complacent but we all know teams do this at the start of the season.

Agree, all that's needed at this stage of the season is complete your sets, get a good kick in and defend as a unit.

The team that makes the least mistakes and gives away the fewest penalties will win. Two points in the bag, that's it, job done.

Take the Dragons lightly and we'll lose.

If we give Child some candy or promise him some candy - I see nothing but a win.

Why not start GREEN at 7 and give young KRISTIAN BELL A RUN AT 6.
Cas had to blood their youngsters and it came off for them.

totally agree, i think this sunday against cats is a funny old game to be going in to, theyll be smarting after losses to the teams predicted widely to finish 13th and 14th and we need to be at our metal.

im really hoping thats weve taken the confidance from that effort against warrington that we should have and go out on sunday with heads held high, we should be winning this game but itd be totally wrong to underestimate them

if dobson is fit he should play, hall in for webster is the only change we should be making if the rest of the squad is fit and available

Hate to agree with you but it seems ok to me, the way Green has started he certainly looks like he can fill in at 7 but it sounds like Dobson wont be rested now.

yes but cas have some really good youngsters... no offence but yours didn't look that ready for first team action at the weekend.

I think it looks more and more likely he won't play

Maybe so as a collective, but the odd individual like BELL would fit in ok

The under 20's that played Warrington.

Yeah i forgot them

Well if there is any game to rest him for, surely this is the one

Does he not have to be in the first squad to play u know on the pay roll

He might be "rested" for a few more than that

he really didn't look in good shape at the end of the wire game.

Do you expect him to miss a few games now? (fantasy team reasons)

Dobson has been training ok today, apparently with no problems, so i dont see any reason for him not to play on Sunday, it looks like the only change will be Hall for Webster.

thanks

Has he had his operation?

Yes he has and is out for 4-6 weeks,oops sorry thought i was on a rovers urban myth thread then,lol.

Taken from the latest article on HDM, Dobson playing on Sunday then?
