Got to laugh at the excuse of International call ups

One young player called up to play for Ireland U19’s and suddenly they are unable to name a team

Pretty sure we have named a team that's the argument we only named 16a. Oh and BTW the club have now added Parcell as 17th man.

Wasn't the loan rule changed this year, so you could call back a player after that date? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.examin ... 554543.amp

Would appear that the rules changed then.

Looks like rovers are trying to make a point but going the wrong way about it/ looking for a sympathy vote. I get not being able to name a squad for a reserves game but it's absolutely embarrassing for them to only name 16 players in their match day squad, they've got players recalled from loans and surley a few academy players to fill in.

So why is McGuire making such a big song and dance about only naming 16 players?

Hoping the RFL would do them a big favour and let Litten and Sims play

Better hope you are signing more than the 11 players you are releasing otherwise you could have this problem next season

Don't really know what they're whinging about.

Injuries to the spine aside, its a decent team. Pretty much first choice pack. Ryan and Hall have been first picks on the wing all season. Wood and Minchella have played when fit.

Absolutely. The usual fabricated nonsense from them ready for a timely boost on Saturday. Didn't we beat them with 16 players when Faraimo got redcarded a couple of years ago?

The whole club is built on this mindset. Hard done by and up against it.

The fans buy into it (critical thinking is not in their DNA when it comes to Rovers), and now it looks like DM has fell into the same way of thinking.

Me neither. The core of that squad was within one game of the GF last season.

They still have plenty of experience available and also have the luxury of fielding 6 full internationals.

That must make them favourites given how decimated we are.
