Onto the game, I think it’s a tough call. Dependant on the teams named I think but it sure feels like we are now going through the injury problems you lot went through earlier in the year.
I think with abdull & quinlan missing we will struggle to fire in attack, as I don’t think our forwards can get on a massive roll against your monster pack. Hopefully SKD makes it as him vs tuimavave is a quality match up to be fair.
Parcell and litten could cause havoc against your middles like, we have to play quick and keep turning them round and making them defend. Give cheap ball away it could be a long day for us
I think FC’s desperation will shine through and you lot nick it by 6-10'"
Pretty much my thoughts....

Decent post, it is a must win for us, not really because it Rovers but can't fall further behind a play off rival.
I hope SKD plays, he won't be fit and Carlos has to class to cause him real problems.
50/50 game for me, if we have the most of the players back we will be strong on paper, but low of confidence, against Rovers who are playing good rugby with lots of confidence.

He will be match fit unlike a few of yours coming back, could be blowing after a frantic start, and I think he can be jabbed and be ok for the period of the game with some support on the actual injury. Think the decision for rovers is do we risk him in this game and potentially cause further injury and then miss some winnable games such as Leigh and wakey. Or is it manageable for the rest of the year. He certainly played well when coming back on last week against hardaker so we can only hope.
Hearing Satae is out for you, I bloody hope so. What’s up with him? That would make it a genuine 50/50 game. Decent weather, good crowd, Z list celebrities pushing the game on social media. Good to be back eh!
Shame about Bastian, made great strides. Rumour one of the Wilson’s is coming over to us from you guys as well, although I must admit I’m not overly clued up on academy level.

| The club are doing a great effort to drum up interest on social media, but sadly it's looking like the West Upper wasn't needed after all.
Take your pick if it is Covid, the state of SL in general, our home form and/or August peak holiday season that is keeping a few thousand away. Best we can do is deliver the performance of the season to get them back in for Cas the week after

I think sadly its a combination of all the above. Hopefully the game will be a great one and we will get not only a win but a performance too.

Yep that certainly is a huge blow to be without Satae as he's been one of if not the best and most destructive forwards in SL this season.

| Offset slightly by Taylor returning, not fussed about Fonua at all needs releasing.
So we're pretty much full strength apart from Satae and Griffin.
Connors the game winner for us, links up well with Reynolds and sneyd we win.

All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

| Satae is a big miss given Tag isn’t match fit. Fonua on the other hand is a relief to be missing.

Big blow that Satae's out but at this stage of the season that's a strong side. More than enough to beat Rovers despite their Grand Final winning form who also have players out.

| I see that tonight's game between Warrington and Catalans has been postponed due to Covid in the Dragons' camp.
A certain irony there after last week.
