Since when did Rovers forwards become world beaters, Paea looks good in short spells and Taylor is an outstanding prospect, but in recent derby games their best forwards have been Galea, Newton and Vella (Fisher always played well against us also).

Our forwards should match theirs IMO.

Dobson is still the player I really fear.

apart from then

May be he meant close as in 1 point or less, or perhaps that they didn’t actually lose to Cas, as they were robbed by the ref.

Not world beaters but, we are expecting a lot from our youngsters.

I think there is a good chance only Bowden will play.

Ok ill let you have that one

Any update on ticket sales, with the west upper open and all that

Be positive we don't have 7 first teamers out Mrs B, we have O'Meley, Westerman, Heremaia and Moa, McKinnon and Yeaman are back plus Pitts is here too, our pack might not be massive but Rovers are poor out wide.

Time to panic now Martin, O'Carroll and Green all out MRS B you could be right.

Injuries were always going to hit our pack and we knew that we didn't have enough cover.

I'm confident that Gentle will get the very best from what we have but it won't be enough.

Originally predicted a Rovers win on their board but now Radders is back I'll go

Was talking to my neighbor whos a rovers fan earlier.

He reckons we'll hammer them, but I think it'll go the other way with a rovers win, I was saying with such a great run where on, and the way rovers always seem to be fired up/up for it for more than us, I can see rovers ing on our bonfire, flying high are we, and it would just be our luck for the skum to bring us back down to earth.

I hope not, but for me, a rovers win, i hope to god i'm wrong...

North is sold out, limited tickets in the East and South.

West Upper is open but Rovers only got sent 1,500 for the time being.

overall I expect 19/20K

Think we'll struggle to hold their forwards with the players we have left. If we had moa, o'meley and o'carroll I'd be expecting an easy win but with what we've got I think we're fooked

Derby always hard to call most of my neighbours are rovers fans and they don't give themselves a chance. I just can't see how we can cope with this many losses in the pack. Fearing the worse tbh them lot by 12
