Briscoe, Webster, Galea and Murrell all selected so i guess at least two of them will play.

No Stan though.

Why doesnt it surprise me Stan isn't in the side!

Absolutely love the bloke and have idolised him since his first game on British soil at the scabby Boulevard playing for PNG!!

However he's become a liability, you dont know what kind of game he's going to have, one game he'll win it almost on his own the next he'll look like Eddie the Eel doing 100mtr doggy paddle!!!

I personally dont expect us to win on Friday nor do I think we're ready to win the GF (if we do brilliant) but I also dont think Stan has another year in him and possibly gone one season too far as it is. Take an ambassadorial role with Rovers and help develop the kids.

With Cockayne given another week to recover after his pot was taken off I fully expect Briscoe to play now. With Murrell's ball handling before the game at Wakey I'd suspect he was keen to play then! And even if Galea has a bit of muscle damage it wont be anything an injection wont take care of!!

How weird does Morgan look in a Rovers shirt?

If they're all fit, we've got just about our strongest team available which is something to be very grateful for. To have a chance against Leeds, Rovers will have to be at their best.

On Stanley Gene, if he is retiring, I guess there might be some pressure to play him for the home play-off game as a send-off (his last two games against Quins and Wakey wouldn't be much of a way to say goodbye). It will be too big a game for sentiment though, IMO, and he should only be picked if he merits selection. The January friendly with Hull would be a chance for him to play his last game for Rovers and would put a few on the gate for Richard Horne, I'm sure.

22. Simon Worrall
23. Kallum Watkins

Leeds side for those of you that are interested. Expect Worrall and Watkins to drop out of the 19.

dog turd side then isnt it
2 of them should be out for the chicken wing tackle but nevermind.
If we play our game then im sure this is going to be a brilliant game of rugby; win or lose!

Well that is a very strong side!!! Im look forward to going so much though and hoping that we might be able to sneak it. Looks unlikley though against that team
But bring it on though!

He is not retiring

Good to see Kirke back , his injury against Catalans did look like that it would be the end of the season for him at one point.

As regards Stan , JM will not pick players on sentiment. If he fits in with the game plan he will be selected.

Good luck against Leeds, fellas.

Why thanks... got a feeling that we may need it... even to finish second

I know our season's over but it must be nice to be able to pick 17 players with squad numbers below 20

got it on good authority that briscoe isnt and wont be fit for friday as he isnt or hasnt been able to do any contact work at training only weights.., dont shoot me down as an fc fan, im just givivng people information if they require to place afew bets on fridays game...as we all dont want the bookies to win

Daniel Fitzhenry (not his most influential position for us, but who else do we have??)
Peter Fox
Jake Webster (will make it)
Kris Welham
Liam Colbon
Paul Cooke
Michael Dobson
Mick Vella
Ben Fisher
Jason Netherton (wont happen, he will be on the bench. But imo he doesnt offer enough in terms of going forward impact that you need from your bench players so would be better utilised from the start.)
Clint Newton
Ben Galea
Scott Murrell (will make it, take some pressure off Fisher, Dobson and Cooke, especially with kicking game)

Charles I’anson (to cover hooker, and maybe even fb with fitzy spelling hooker)
Chev Walker
Scott Wheeldon,
Rhys Lovegrove

Nick Fozzard (seems to be out of favour)
Shaun Briscoe (will not be risked as it is not do or die. If it was, he may have been played)
