Pivotal game of the season for us and not because it's the derby. 4 defeats on the trot. Yes, you could use the reason of injuries, covid and the quality of the opposition. We have the strongest team playing since the first round. Not many other teams are in that position. Rovers are favourites on form but we will have the better 17.

We need to deliver. No excuses, a defeat would be a major disappointment.

and the end of our season

Probably get called off tomorrow or Saturday morning.

that would not surprise me given the news from Catalan
I just wonder when our team has been or will be tested this week
You can just imagine Adam Pearson binning a load of positive tests to ensure the game goes ahead

Fonua dropped for breaching the covid protocol according to the HDM.

Hope that we can get ride of Mahe. I said at the time he signed,he was not the player that left us, if you watch the NRL and West Tigers, he was unfit , lazy and could not make a break in open play, props actually caught and tackled him during one game, against Penrith , I think .

Maybe the disciplinary action is the start of getting rid of Fonua at the end of the season

You can see how Rovers managed to beat Wigan. They've been terrible lately.

I can see Wigan going into free fall . Hell of a lot their cap now sat in the stands .
