Green and Bowden not expected back until after Easter according to the HDM. I wonder if either will line up for the reserves this week.

Fash back from loan so I expect he'll feature at some point.

We should be fine in the middles for Friday. I bumped into Lee Crooks in Perpignan who said he was hitting the gym this week just in case he was needed....

Apparently Masi is doing a rock climbing challenge in St Stephens today so his shoulder can't be that bad.

Substituted by Lane.

Can we get back on topic please? Garbutt back for Rovers, alongside Mulhern and Jewitt, at prop is a genuine boost. We know we had no props last week, so do we know when we are likely to hear about Taylor, Matongo, Bowden, Green? I assume Paea at least will be back. As said on another thread, given Ellis' shift last weekend wonder whether he might play Monday instead?

To get back on topic how many GENIUNE injuries do you have, and are you worried?

Some high IQ's about tonight.

A lot. Atkin believes you'll win the next 3 and he's been part of excellent training in a buzzing camp, so I'm not really in a position to argue with that level of confidence/certainty.

I don't think we have any geniune injuries.

We have a few genuine ones though.

That's not what he said is it. You could be a politician Mrs B, especially with the current crop we have. The way you spin and take things out of context for impact and gamesmanship is a skill in it's self.

They all talk a load of **** n all

Aahhhh derby week you gotta love it.
It will even more enjoyable if we topple the massive club that is The Sharks for a third successive time.

Ellis Kelly and Conner could make a big difference this time. Still we won there last time with new players we picked up on the way to the ground.

Are you twinned with Cronulla? Is that why you had that shark badge, thing. Still for a new franchise two cup wins is impressive.

Definitely missing are Watts, Miloudi and Langtree plus Sneyd won’t be too bothered now.
