Bottom tier sold out, and a lot gone in West Upper. Could be on for our biggest crowd since the 2007 sellouts.

2 full blocks not been made available though at the north end of the east stand. Seems stupid

I watched the reserves on Saturday, and to be honest, Kelly did nothing to justify a place against Rovers.

Squad announced - no Gareth Ellis or Manu Ma'u

1. Jamie Shaul
2. Bureta Faraimo
3. Carlos Tuimavave
4. Josh Griffin
5. Adam Swift
6. Jake Connor
7. Marc Sneyd
8. Scott Taylor
9. Danny Houghton
10. Chris Satae
11. Josh Jones

13. Ligi Sao
14. Albert Kelly
16. Jordan Johnstone
19. Masi Matongo
20. Brad Fash
21. Jordan Lane
22. Josh Bowden
23. Andre Savelio
24. Mahe Fonua
33. Ratu Naulago

Shaul, Faraimo, Fonua, Tuimavave, Naulago, Connor, Sneyd, Taylor, Johnstone, Bowden, Jones, Griffin, Sao

Subs - Kelly, Houghton, Satae, Savelio

Rovers will get them again if they sell out the North.

If not, best to leave it as segregation given the idiots throwing flares and bottles last time round.

I'd start Savelio, Sao at prop and Bowden on the bench.

No Parcell for them which is a bonus for us

Satae running at Litten!!

M'au had a nasty looking cut near the eye when interviewed after the game, might be the reason for his omission. Lots of options here, could bring fonua in and move Griffin to 2r, or just use lane and masi, maybe start savelio

Sorry, should say I'm not used to options

"Muscle strain" according to the HDM, Ellis has an ankle "complaint".

I'd imagine the Saints game next week will also have been taken into account.
