Thaler ref. If there's one team he hates more than us it's Rovers.

Mickymauskas back where he belongs and no VR for Bentham this week

We know what happens when we play badly at Magic. But if we play okay and our makeshift back line holds together then we should win the game in the forwards. If we have one of our off days and we leak a try every time they go wide then its going to be a long drive home.

With the injury news I’d go with

Shaul
Logan
Hadley
Griffin
Sanderson
Miloudi
Connor
Taylor
Houghton
Paea
Manu
Mini
Westerman

Washbrook
Green
Masi
Lane

Let's throw Harris right in there.

Shaul
Miloudi
Logan
Griffin
Scott
Harris
Connor

Taylor
Houghton
Manu
Hadley
Mini
Westerman

Lane
Green
Masi
Paea

Be happy if that's roughly out side, although I like Manu out wide, so I'd I'd start with Green and have Hadley on the bench.

Still inexperienced massively in the backs and Rovers have a threat there

Any worth in having Miloudi and Harris in the halves, given that they've played there together this season for Doncaster and will have some semblance of an understanding? Connor at centre would strengthen our wide defence, plus he's going to be his usual maverick self there anyway, should add an extra dimension to our play whilst strengthening a weakened back line.

PLAY Jake in the halves
He will win it for us

When are the squads announced?
