Just Bin busy not enuf hours in the day I blame the clocks going forward ya know

Been getting your hands oily in this little bit of a heatwave we've had? Snowing, so you're back around.

radford will give 100% which won't be good enough

I fail to see why, if Hall is back, we would change the system that operated with him fit.

1. Shannon
2. Hall
3. Horne (who gives me nightmares at centre)
4. Welham
5. Hodgson
6. Lovegrove
7. Dobson
8. Clinton
9. Withers
10. Wheeldon
11. Mika
12. Galea
13. Watts

14. Hodgson
15. Paea
16. Taylor
17. Cox

Can't drop Scotty Murrell-he was one of our better players at Cas.

Completely forgot about him!
Swap Watts for Cox on the bench and then put Scott in at 13.

I'd leave Murrell in the halfs, I think he's done pretty well there.

definately keep scott at 6 for me, think we need to keep errors to a minimum if we are to win this one and complete our sets.

for all halls little bits of brilliance, he also makes too many errors

I'm not a betting man but I'd say Galea will play seeing as though it was in the trade press a few days ago.

Green no chance of course.

Murrell isn't a hb anymore. For all his ability with passing an kicking he's far too slow to play SO. He's played solidly there but a stand off/scrum half is ideally where you want your two most creative players with ball in hand.

Everything else aside, Hall is a confidence player and has never looked more confident than at the beginning of the season. To put him out on the wing loses a lot of potency in attack. Obviously I would want him defending out there though.

It is Easter and as we know from thousands of years ago Miracles happen at this time of year. It makes lame men walk and blind men see. Derby week is always swampped with rumours and mind games, both teams claiming that the other is the favorite for win, that the injury problems are almost unsurmountable. Them.....POW !!!! Miracles happen and the injuries clear up over night.................May all supporters enjoy another unique Derby Day and may your god go with you.

COME ON YOU REDS

The squad in full is:

Shannon McDonnell

Craig Hall

Ben Galea

Lincoln Withers

Keal Carlile

Liam Watts

Scott Wheeldon

Scott Taylor

Rhys Lovegrove

Josh Hodgson

Mickey Paea

Graeme Horne

Scott Murrell

Michael Dobson

David Hodgson

Con Mika

Kris Welham

Blake Green

hes a lot faster than he was last year! and he has broke the line a few times recently

I just dont see hall as one of our 2 most creative players with his passing and distribution, yes he can make something out of nothing with footwork and pace but he throws too many wayward passes for me.

id prefer to see murrell keep his spot and 'steady the ship'

just my opinion of course

Id be as suprised as anyone if Blake Green plays. Galea though i know is pretty much as fit as he'll get from training, could have played against Cas but got another week under his belt. You only get match fitness from playing matches so Galea for me will play. Hall will play, likely from 6 with Lovegrove and Hall swapping with Lovegrove named at 6. I see Galea coming off the bench though, Josh Hodgson will start second row, Galea will come on for Mika. Joel Clinton is the worry fitness wise.

McDonnell
Hall Horne Welham D.Hodgson
Lovegrove Dobson
Clinton Withers Wheeldon
J.Hodgson Mika
Watts

Murrell, Galea, Taylor, Paea

Green, Carlile to miss out. For me anyways.
