Keep it respectable, that should be our aim. Discuss.
What a crock of s++t, be positive FFS,
Shaul won't play for another week, we will have Paea, Savelio, Green, Taylor, Ratu, Westerman and maybe Masi back, Rovers struggled to break down a championship side, we need to come out firing wake up the morgue and back the boys to success.

Indeed, we should approach every game hoping to win.

Seriously though, for all the usual Derby pre match nonsense it generally comes down to attitude and who wants the win more. Both sides have extremely challenging Monday games so both will be desperate for the points.

Presumably disciplinary announcements from this weekend will be at tea time today? Also, does the disciplinary panel sit between Friday and Monday for any incidents referred from coming Thurs/Fri? Can't remember.

This would be my side Wynne Faramino Carlos Connor Griffin Kelly Sneyd Taylor Houghton Masi/Paea Manu (Could do with a rest maybe) Mini Westy
Hadley Lane Ellis Brown
I was thinking similar. Even if the likes of Green and Bowden are fit I'm not sure this is the best game to come back after such a long lay off. We may be better with guys more up to speed. I would shuffle a few things around though.
Injuries permitting:
Wynne (Shaul if fit, but it doesn't sound like it) Faraimo Tuimavave Connor Ratu/Logan Kelly Sneyd Taylor Houghton Matongo Minichiello Griffin Westerman
Ellis Paea Brown Manu
If you need to do anything with the backs Griffin can slot in there and you have a couple of guys on the bench who can play second row.
Then on Monday you can look at the likes of Green, Bowden, Savelio, Thompson, Hadley, Lane etc to freshen it up.
