We are all doomed, I have just watched Look North and they have GOD on their side!

Yes, although Stanley Gene is no longer playing these days.

I'd drop manu and bring in thompson, backs pick themselves as there are only 7 of them in the squad. ellis, pritchard, green and thompson on the bench with washbrook starting at 13. Proper back row rotation to stop them dropping off in the last 10 minutes.

Won't happen of course

Talks a big game but always goes missing when it gets tough out there

Why does Washbrook keep getting picked, he offers nothing that others can do better.
He's not a half, he's not a hooker, he's ineffective as a 13 and too slow and can't bust a tackle to save his life.
Thompson is miles more effective and useful in the side, we either have a proper interchange hooker or go with a forward that can bend the line and be an effective tackler.
I still don't see what Washbrook adds aside from consistant bang averageness

Bookies in Aus have us as odds on to win. I'm just not that sure. Salford had been going quite well indeed and 44 points is a lot to let Rovers score. Derbies are usually close and rarely more than 6 in it, rarely.
AT least if we lose then Radfud will be gone.

Total rubbish and spoken like a man who doesn't either understand or watch game, Washbrook has done well and had a big part in a few trys, he has actutally broke the line a couple of times to set up trys, so it shows you just don't watch games.

Thompson has started the season well, didn't play well against Widnes (But who did), but you can't say he is a effective tackler, certainly his weakest area, not sure why he was dropped against Wakey, maybe rested, but if he comes back Washbrook certainly shouldn't be making way on current form.

Granted. Players having to up their game due to competition for places cannot be under estimated either.

Set up a few tries. The line he ran to set Shaul up was a thing of beauty. In my top 2 on Friday behind mini. An under rated signing and great value for money for his use to the team

Playing pretty well - certainly deserves his place. His versatility during games has helped us.

You really think Pearson will sack Radford if you lose

No

Would you?

A statement needs to be made tomorrow. Not only so we've the bragging rights in the town, but to the rest of the league. We must have one of the most expensive quads, with some big big names and its time they started earning their money. Rovers did have a good win against a good Salford side last week, but we need to be putting 30 points on them in my opinion, with the players we have. I couldn't believe what I was watching against a really poor Wakefield side. We lacked direction from our halves, and aggression. I would have thought Rovers will be near the bottom of the league come the end of the season, and its against teams like this we should be putting a score on...

It's a derby 30 points bit wishful thinking. Most supporters would take a 1 point win.
