I think Justin said they could play easter weekend,dint mention which game ! IIRC.

I think Dobson will play, so who now is going to de-registered?????????

Back to the derby, really not looking forward to it. Every time we play rovers they seem much more pumped up, focussed and more of a team than we ever do.

Dobson is playing...newton a bigger doubt.

so whos getting de registed now then to make way

If and it's a bloody BIG if he is playing how do we know it hasn't already been sorted out.
Just playing devils avocate.
I myself think we will be without both Newton and Dobson, I also belive you will win.

I also think neither will play against fc and IIRC no other player can be deregistered in this affair.Once Masons passport comes thru,Mason goes Tongan and Dobson gets put back on quota.If Dobson is back on quota Mason is Togan or gets deregistered.

I can take it or leave it to be honest. The same as I've felt for every other game this season. Could well be a sub 20K attendance I reckon.
Will probably be a close game. I'm sure the Rovers fans will enjoy their annual big day out though.

If the RFL stick to what they announced then this is correct.

That will be the issue for Dobson, more so than the injury.

Anyway the team I think Agar will pick, assuming no Westy:

Phelps
Turner
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Ogre
Houghton
Moa
Tickle
Manu
Fitz

Radford
Dowes
Lauaki (2nd row)
Obst

Don't think Westerman will be fit so I would go with

Phelps
Whiting
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Obst
Long
Ogre
Houghton
Moa
Tickle
Manu
Fitz

Radford
Dowes
Lauaki
Turner

It means Houghton doing 80 again but needs must. Turner or Whiting interchangeable but I think Whiting is maybe a bit better on the wing. Turner can do a back row stint.

It’s a bit of a debate in our house at the moment, we can’t get another seat anywhere near my season pass in the East Stand, which means buying two seats together and “wasting” my season pass seat, or sitting apart, which kind of defeats the object of going in the first place.

Damn East Stand fully reserved!

check your pm Standee given you an easy solution.

If I were picking I would go with:-

Phelps
Turner
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Obst
Long
Ogre
Houghton
Moa
Manu
Tickle
Fitz

Lauaki
Radford
Whiting (Back row)
Horne (to allow Obst to give Houghton a spell or even cover 9 himself)

Not looking forward to friday at all, i cant say ive looked forward to any matches this season, its quickly becoming a chore, and if i never had a pass, i probably wouldnt have gone, this club and its fans deserves more than what were being served up, and if Agar had out about him, he would resign and let this club move on, with a decent coach (we can but hope), I can see it becoming ugly come the final whistle on friday if we lose!!
