Anyone else heard that reynolds left because he was told that he was gonna get the crap kicked out of him on Saturday by his former rovers team mates?

Derby day! Will we win it? Probably not. I hope our team of home grown youngsters give them a scare and we put up a good fight. 10 of the 17 from our academy today?

All the best to the lads.

Walker playing reserves but Charles isn't, guessing Charles will be lining up in the halves with Moy at full back.

Reserves latest

FC 0 - 16 Rovers.

H/T

Don't understand the Walker thing, would have had him at least on the bench in front of Litten.

Not sure what's gone on there.

Starting XIII:

37 – Logan Moy

44 – Tom Briscoe

3 – Carlos Tuimavave

4 – Liam Sutcliffe

26 – Lewis Martin

6 – Jake Trueman

40 – Jack Charles

8 – Herman Ese’ese

19 – Morgan Smith

45 – Yusuf Aydin

15 – Jordan Lane

12 – Ligi Sao

21 – Will Gardiner

Interchange:

13 – Brad Fash

23 – Davy Litten

28 – Denive Balmforth

46 – Tiaki Chan

Man that line up shouldn't be getting within 20 points (probably 30) of a just about full strength Rovers team.
Hopefully the lads can keep up the effort shown recently, put a few points on the board and walk off with their heads high knowing they've given it their all.
Sao and Ese'ese need to have big games and set an example for the young pack.

Don't like Sao in the 2nd row but don't think we've much choice, can't see anything but a minimum 20pt loss unfortunately, they're pretty much full strength, forwards look incredibly light, big stints needed from Ese Ese and Aydin.

Can't see a win. But play like we have been and that's all we can expect. Good luck lads I'll be cheering you on .COYH

Looking at the two teams, even with recent improvement it will be the upset of the entire season if we beat them , so as long as the effort is there and they leave nothing on the pitch I’ll take the inevitable and hope we can at least stay in the game .

Absoluteley appaulling start for a derby.

All started by a shocking kick from Trueman.

Just not at the races today so far, slow and sloppy start. Sutcliffe should have done a Lomax and stayed down so the video looked at the tackle instead of playing the ball then going back down.

Was always going to a tough uphill battle to get anything from today but my word we really aren’t helping ourselves at all.

Im done, absolute pathetic for a derby this.

Hang there heads in shame.

Worst we’ve played in weeks. Can’t keep up with them. Didn’t expect this to be honest. Could be very ugly.

Moy dropped ball
Martin dropped ball
Ese dropped ball
Trueman shocking kicks on last tackles x 3
Garbage long kick off too long

Penalties
