To the windswept Craven Park on Friday in front of the TV cameras.

Rovers were in some form before the international/meaningless friendly break* with big wins over Huddersfield and Cas, less big but no less impressive wins over Wire and their city rivals. Could be a tough one this.
Paea v Paea a potential highlight.



* - international break for France and Wales. Not an international break for England

Looking forward to it, we owe you one so let's hope it's this Friday

Squad:

Greeny, Blanch, Pryce, Sa, Bosc, Dureau, Fef, Ian Hendo Henderson, The Bulldozer, Sir Steve Menzies Campbell, Mounis, The Traffic Warden, Gossard, Millard, Bousquet, JaJa, Baitieri, Viiiiiiinnceeennnnt Duuuupooooooort (rat-ta-tat-ta-tat), Fisher


Rervers are:
McDonnell, Hall, Galea, Horne, Withers, O'Hara, Webster, Clinton, Taylor, Lovegrove (Where My Rosemary Goes), J Hodgson, The Other Paea, Latus, Murrell, The Other Dobbo, Green, Mika, Welham, Netherton.

No Paea or Simon, looks like Bousquet might get a debut.

Which bit are you struggling with?

Why Fisher and not Eloi - seems to have fallen out of favour or just injured ?

the team needs his energy and that's no disrespect to Fisher who has done a good job

why no paea

I'm Guessing Fef, Jaja and the bloody traffic warden

I'd have thought it was obvious.

Doesn't want to hurt his brother.

Good question. No news on the injury front, so can only suggest that it's a case of holding him back and letting him develop slowly. We all saw how Duport's development was held up as he struggled to grow into his body as he developed physically and not putting too much pressure on Pelissier now may avoid such a situation.
But I'm just theorising.

I'm sure mickey Cud handle it

I'm sure he could. He sure made an impact on Huddersfield last time out.

I presume Lopini is injured, what with having withdrawn from the meaningless friendly and all that.

Yer Ano what u mean bout friendly u reckon lopini staying at cats then
