Looking at that 18 man squad we will have problems matching them in the backs.look very young.Saying that you never know? Add Crooks and Carney into that and it looks a little better. My feeling at the moment is that they will be more up for this game than us and may pile a big score on us.Hope I'm wrong

Rumours he's for the chop if they lose on Friday? Can't see it myself either way?A very strange build up to this Derby and just can't shake the feeling they are going to get some revenge after shipping 72!!!! After our MPG and then last year's successful promotion i agree that Fridays game doesn't matter as much to me as normal as it's all about staying up and the 2 points on Friday are about as much use as Susan Boyles minge. Both teams missing loads of players but the fans of the winning side won't care.

So only Connor missing as fully expect Kelly to play. Bookies giving us 14 point head start. Quinlan 18-1 1st try and is the favourite for us.Hes normally 10s? They can spin it all they want but that is a very strong team and 12 or 13 of strongest 17 are included. Crikey

Re: Most pointless derby since 2006? : Wed Jul 25, 2018 3:59 pm  

so you don't include green, westerman, Hadley, Bowden, as well as connor and Kelly, ok,

Re: Most pointless derby since 2006? : Wed Jul 25, 2018 4:22 pm  

Kelly will play.Green and Bowden are average props.Hadley replaced by Manu which on paper is a huge upgrade and Abdull can more than fill in for Westerbum at 13. So 4 or 5 from best 17 missing.Hardly the epidemic you lot have been whinging about? Only Connor is genuinely quality of those missing. Looking at those 2 squads it looks like we are in for a long night .The other side of that is if we do win then you would have to conclude the team want Radford out? We will see

In all honesty this season when Rovers have that amount of players missing it isn't a crisis it's the strongest line up of the year.
