Basically its win tomorrow or we face the most pointless derby of the SL era and a very long summer.

Still not a fan of this league format, while there is always teams with nothing to play for in any format, this early split seems to make it seem like the end of the road for for many teams far too early in the season. Under a normal league format we'd still be in the top6/8 and be fancying our Playoff chances when we get players back, while Rovers wouldent be getting a points reset and would still be desperate to win next week to avoid relegation.

Win the next 2, which is feasable, if we play in the same fashion as the Saints game, then we finish on 26 points, only 3 behind Warrington, who I can’t see getting a result at Saints. It’s still on. Warrington are also involved in the CC semifinals so they could well drop points before and after thier game. An added bonus could be they get to the final which will put even more pressure on them, so who knows. Sorry to be so upbeat, I know it’s unusual for an FC diehard on here

Not to mention a team that is desined to finish at least 6 points adrift from everyone else, who have been the worst team in the League all season and who should be down after the next round, might yet still survive and not be relegated by the vagaries of the stupid middle eight stuff

Shaul, Sneyd, Westerman and Green all back in the squad!

The Airlie Birds are boosted by the return of Jamie Shaul, Marc Sneyd, Joe Westerman and Chris Green, who come into the 19-man squad but might not all feature.

They replace Mark Minichiello, Hakim Miloudi, Cameron Scott and Jez Litten.

The full and updated 19-man squad can be found below:

1. Jamie Shaul
2. Bureta Faraimo
3. Carlos Tuimavave
5. Fetuli Talanoa
7. Marc Sneyd
8. Scott Taylor
9. Danny Houghton
11. Dean Hadley
15. Chris Green
16. Jordan Abdull
17. Danny Washbrook
20. Brad Fash
23. Mickey Paea
24. Jack Logan
25. Jansin Turgut
27. Jack Downs
29. Masi Matongo
33. Joe Westerman
35. Liam Harris

curiouser and curiouser I just hope we aint rushing anyone back!

If those 4 added to the squad play, then we have a good chance and no excuses

Hopefully Minichiello has just being rested, although unlikely.

Sounds like he is one of the players Radford wanted to drop but was unable to

Judging by the strapping put on his leg at half time last week, I suspect he's not 100%, but I'm sure dropping him suits some.

Its obvious that we are with Sneyd and Westerman
I dont like bringing long term injured players straight back into the first team without a previous game

No it doesn't.



No it isn't.
