Stefanos Bastas, Matty Beharrell, Watson Boas (Loan), Connor Bower, Jack Brown (D/R), Rangi Chase, Matty Chrimes, Sam Doherty, Brandon Douglas, Brad Foster, Jordie Hedges, Evan Hodgson (Loan), Jordan Howden, Kyle Kesik, Frankie Mariano, Richie Owen, Connor Scott, Russ Spiers, Jason Tali.

Mariano and Douglas in the 19

Looks a strong squad. Assume Howden will play full back , Chase or Boas to spell Kesik . Bastas & Owen to miss out .

Just my humble opinion .

I would love to see Chase at FB. Boas and Beharrell in halves. My humble opinion

Free Press article Rob suggests that the club see Watson has a replacement hooker from the bench for KK now that we no longer have Jez Litten available. Agreed that looks a strong squad with only Jack Brown as DR.

Chase couldn't play full back effectively... IMHO.
Not mobile enough ..
Nor big enough ...
Chase is tricky and skilful ... but he's no Moulidi anymore.

Two good full backs in Howden and Owen. No need to move Chase from his natural position.

Yeah I know. I'm just trying to think of a way for us to be as effective as we can with players we have. Rangi has played there before and FB tends to be an extra pivot in the modern game. It won't happen but it's an option. Personally I'd be interested to see Sam at FB if Halliday is selected on wing. That said it's good to have a couple of wingers who are as effective as they are in the air. Point is really that this is a healthy discussion when we can see so many options.

Delighted to see Mariano and Douglas available. Were it not for Boyle's ban I doubt there'd be any DR players in squad at all. Looking strong to me. I'm genuinely excited for tomorrow.

(Don't p*ss on my bonfire SO ;P. )

Chase and Boas alone must be worth the entrance fee.Throw in the likes of Douglas and Mariano,and the fickle Doncaster public will come flocking in,won't they ??

No.

Will be surprised if FM makes the cut ... only going by how when someone is close to coming back they get in at 18/19 in a sort of induction process to keep fans onside.
Hope he plays ...

He'll play. C u tomorrow mate

So. By your reckoning Brian. Douglas and Mariano dropped from final 17? You may be right. I disagree. In my humble opinion.

In the Free Press, Peter Green said that Frankie Mariano would be starting on the bench.

Good
