Rovers will certainly have to tighten up around the ruck this week. The way Cats broke them up in that area was embarrassing at times. In fact two of their tries came directly as a result of slack marking around the ruck.

Give Berrigan the same kind of room and he'll kill Rovers.

Saints and Hudds he was fantastic but he hasn't done much since.

Berro has looked better away from the ruck when houghton has come on in the last couple of weeks.

Bertie, old bean,
As my comment was tongue in cheek,I will take your reply the same way.

10/10 BB.

Pity others didn't figure

Anyone think we are likely to bring back Watts?

Go with either Lovegrove or Vella into the S/R. to add a bit more size to the pack?

Swap Murrell and Galea or go with I'Anson?

And who replaces Colbon? A big shift in positions or go with Cockayne?

Yes

Use Lovegrove at SR for first stint like before

I'Anson for me, less movement the better!

Welham onto the wing for me - it may stop him jumping out the line aswell

What bertie knows about the game you could write on the back of a postage stamp with a paint roller

And you a steam roller!

any ideas of the injuries at the mo?

Just Colbon for certainty I think. Will be a huge loss, just as he was last time he was missing for us.

what line up to we expect to see on friday from you lot

That nice chap Mr Silverwood is in charge on Friday. I am looking FORWARDto this one.

but



Oh no it wasn't..

Less than 200 tickets left now according to the website.

Of course its a much better view this season from the South Stand isn't it

Well that wouldbe true if you got it right



But that says nothing about the SOUTH stand, but lets not let facts get in the way of having a dig.

HTH

Looking at our 19, I think I would go with:

1. Briscoe
2. Cockayne
3. Webster
4. Welham
5. Fox
6. Galea
7. Dobson
8. Clinton
9. Fisher
10. Vella
11. Lovegrove
12. Newton
13. Murrell

14. Hodgson
15. Watts
16. Wheeldon
17. Netherton

Which will come first, Rovers 8 wins or Hull's elusive last 2 of those "8 easy" points?

Read it again,

It's your loyal fans who have decided not to go this year

Bet its 60/40 to FC in the North but all you bang on about is they south, anyways thought there was about 10000 of you lot going.

Hulls probable line up. Some interesting match ups. On paper Hull should win, be we all know it doesn't always work like that. I still fancy us to get the first of 4 easy points this year though.

Impossible! After all, that's the reason we don't get the Golf stand in the first place - the priority is the Home fans for the derby.



Funny how the Golf stand never sells out on derby day - even with it consistently being half full of FC (I know because I choose to go in there). Surely it can't be the Dobbins themselves who are less than enthusiastic about supporting their team?



I've asked before and I'll ask again. Why not just give us the North in the first place? It'd certainly sell out and help your gasping coffers. Or is it just a case of Grudge's blind bitterness overwhelming him to such an extent it encroaches on his common business sense?

Down to us why we get the South.
