It looks like we have lost Ben Galea for the opener so given the pre season hit outs whats your line up to face Salford.
( Exclude Joel Clinton )

1. Briscoe
2 Fox
3 Welham
4 Ratu
5 Colbon
6 Cooke
7 Dobson
8 Lovegrove
9 Murrell
10 Wheeldon
11 Newton
12 Cook
13 I'Anson

Not going to happen but I would be very happy if see this team line up:

4. Webster
5. Colbon
6. Cooke
7. Dobson

10. Wheeldon
11. Newton
12. Cook
13. Murrell

14. Hodgson/Cockayne
15. Netherton
16. Watts
17. Lovegrove

I'd like to se fisher in the line up, he seems t add that bit of speed up the middle and seems to get us on a roll more than Murrell would at 9.

Looks like his reluctance to walk away will see him out favour,same with Mills unless it gets really dire straits.

Briscoe
Fox
Ratu
Webster
Colbon
Cooke
Dobson
Lovegrove
Murrell (Fisher if Scott goes to 13)
Wheeldon
Newton
Cook
Galea (Murrell if he's not fit)

Vella
Cockayne
Fisher (Hodgson if Fish starts - see above)
Watts (Clinton if he really exists!)

I would like 2 see Watts get his chance he looked good last night

1. Briscoe
2. Fox
3. Ratu
4. Webster
5. Colburn
6. Cooke
7. Dobson

12. Galea ( Cook if Galea injured )
13. Murrell

14. Lovegrove
15. Netherton
16. Cockayne
17. Hodgeson/Weeldon

1. Briscoe
2. Fox
3. Welham
4. Webster
5. Colburn

15. Netherton
16. Cook / Ratu (if Galea's not fit)
17. Hodgeson

Is Cockayne not injured? Thought he had broken bone in his foot again for the second successive pre-season.

Played about 60 mins last night. False alarm.

1. Briscoe

2. Fox
3. Ratu - Welham has been poor in pre season. Defensively he has been very poor and could cost us dear.
4. Webster
5. Colbon

6. Cooke
7. Dobson

8. Vella
9. Murrell - He has been told he is our number 9, so to shift him from that position in the first game wouldnt be right.
10. Wheeldon

11. Newton
12. Taylor - Think he has earned his place over pre season and should be given a shot.

13. I'Anson - I am probably one of his biggest critics, but to be fair, hes been one of the better players in pre-season, however GALEA, if fit.

14. Cockayne - Ahead of Hodgson, who hasn't really done anything to impress me.
15. Cook
16. Watts - Like Taylor, I think he has earned his shot.
17. Lovegrove

Hmmmm, already starting to look a little threadbare, and we havent even started the season yet.

On the basis of the pre-season games , it looks to me that GML may well have the starting line -up , though I would like to see Fisher feature on the bench.

No, the wishes of your fans who posted which opposition player they would like to see the so called togan mafia injure was well and truly scuppered.
Just as a matter of interest i wonder if your mods will let that thread continue throughout the season.?

He has Welham in his team. On the basis of pre season, I wouldnt have him in my team.

Or, unlikely and unprecedented as it may seem, it could be that the severity of the injury was a tad overstated by Morgan. £1 says Galea will pass a late fitness test as a "timely boost" for Rovers opener.
