Is he going to be fit?

If so id have him on the bench over Cockayne. Just for big game experience.

Yeah he's very likely to play according to Justin on RH last night.

I'd sooner have Cockayne on the bench than Stan, not knocking the big guys prescence out there but Benny just gives us that bit more speed around the ruck and he's got more versatility than Stan having played in every position you can name! Wasn't it he who played prop at Catalans in our first visit or was that Scotty??

Would agree with that. Stan got quite a lot of gametime on Sunday and the quick turnaround may be too much for him. Cockayne offers plenty of versatility and makes very few mistakes and much as we all love Stan, Ben is much more reliable.

I think it would send out the wrong message if Cockayne were to lose his place on Friday night.

Wouldn't say he had a brilliant game, gave away two stupid penalties in the time he was on.

According to Morgs on RH 2 mins ago, it is likely that Gene will miss the Leeds game on Friday due to a rib injury.

Correct, told KCFM the same.
Stan and Vella stood out of training.

Because i correctly predicted he would not make the squad for the Bulls game.

I like the why he plays with his heart.
He is a grafter who will run the ball in all day long and looks defensivly sound.
His form in pre season wasnt startling but i hope that because he is an ex Hull player the fans dont give him a rough ride.
I also think that having a more explosive type of player like Lovegrove on the bench against a team like Leeds will have more benefits.
And on the couple of occasions ive spoken to Scott he seems a decent lad.

Id give him a couple of reserve games 1st but thats just my opinion.

Why would they?Cooke,Briscoe,Chester ,etc seemed to survive unscathed.

Sounds to me as if you're giving him a rough time lol.
But seriously why would any give him a rough time. All others who have seen sense and come to rovers have been welcomed with open arms

It will be nowt to do with being an ex Fc employee. Your fans will give him a rough ride as soon as they work out your club is paying him an extremely healthy wage and he is cack !!!
