The RFL continue to mess about with tradition and schedule the traditional Good Friday derby clash for a Thursday night. Good luck to anyone who is by-passing the travel ban on away fans that was imposed after the... incident.

Anyway, the first of three against the Old Enemy this year after winning the series 2-1 last time around. Both going into it off good wins, but we have to be confident don't we?

Kaufusi's gonna get ya!

Reckon the Thursday night thing is good for both giving the extra day (especially with your travel) and even on the Friday there would not be huge amounts of away fans.

(Got alternative commitments myself anyway, so I was being a little disingenuous about that)

According to my contact the Dragons asked the RFL if they could play a day earlier because of the travel.

We get our own stand this year... sweet.

Squads named. A few changes as we look to make use of the squad in this busy period.

Stupid spiky hair, Blanch, Pryce, SuperSa, Tommy B Goode, Dureau, Ian Hendo Henderson, Casty, Sir Steve Menzies Campbell, Mr Anderson, Oh Captain My Captain, The Traffic Warden, Millard, Mickey S, JaJa, Paea, Viiiiin-ceeennnnt Duuupooo-oo-ooort (rat-ta-tat-ta-tat), The Angler, Cardace.

THEM have named:

Bailey, Bryant, Elbows Clubb, Colbon, Cook, Dixon, Dorn, Golden, Gower (hurr hurr, sounds like Golden Shower those last two), Kaufusi, Melling, O'Callaghan, Randall, BOOOOOOOOO JUDAS Rinaldi, Robertson, Rodney, Sarginson, Temata, Half-Witt.

Referee entrusted with controlling this white-hot clash? It's the extremely neutral (i.e. he's from Toulouse) Thierry Alibert.

so who from this parish is actually going?

have finally emailed the report over... apols for delay

Seems we were beneficiaries of another Uncle Thierry counting blunder... The call for neutral refs for such an important fixture will surely grow after this.
