According to the Saints board, Hohaia is injured meaning a return to first team duty for 'out of favour' Gaskell. The Saints fans are happy to see Gaskell back but I thought Hohaia has been a real danger recently. Will this work in Rovers favour? Only if Rovers can win the arm wrestle and curtail Roby.

Even without Kris, Rhys and Dave H I reckon Rovers can come home with the 2pts. The vital ingredient will be composure, something I thought was missing last week. For the first time this season I thought Rovers dominated a match for long periods but were unable to convert possession into points. I hope Dobbo and Green learn from that experience and don't make the same mistake of not keeping the scoreboard ticking.

It's not the scoreboard that needs to keep ticking, it's the timeclock.

I commend you for being so positive but I see the bookies don't agree they give Rovers 18 points start.

Saints have lost just 2 of the last 11 both against Wigan and they are at home so it's easy to see why they are strong favourites.

This is a real big test for Rovers if they are competitive in this game it will be a very good effort.

Calmer waters lie ahead I feel, after this game we still have Wigan at home but all the other fixtures are very winnable, not that anything can be taken for granted of course. I don't expect a win tonight but I do feel we can really kick on for what will be left of the season.

As usual ill be happy if we have a really good go at Saints, I'm not expecting a win, just hoping after all the good work we suddenly don't start rolling over.

Slightly OT but if driving could be extra traffic with the Stone Roses gigs this weekend starting tonight.

Just what the M62 needs on a Fri night then

Got a bad feeling about tonight, the last time the team "bus" broke down (also on the way to Saints) we got mullered.
Bus and players still on m62 near goole as i type (16.06).

Why is the word bus in inverted commas? They're not all crammed in the fish van are they?

Didn't want to use "coach", attracts the trolls.


Anyway, must dash, i'm driving.

Must be something about St Helens and broken down buses, we were on the way there one night during the early eighties for a challenge cup game when we broke down a few miles outside of St Helens, fortunately there were plenty of passing coaches and mini buses who kindly stopped and gave us all a lift to the ground, we went on to win that game which incidently was the first win there for many years, the winger Garry Clark scoring the winning try.

Ayone radio coverage pls?

Sounds quite pathetic at the minute

We appear to have mastered time travel and journyed back to March.
