As mentioned already, Hudgell will be in charge of the dressing room and he's pretty darn good.
Hall - McKinnon, Webster - Yeaman, Green - Horne, O'Hara - O'Meley, Clinton - Moa Galea - Westerman
Think that's about even for absentees.

Not really. Briscoe was struggling and had the Physio out to him 3 times. You missed Heremaia too, although I did originally as we have so many out I've lost count now. Compared to us, you're in a pretty solid position as Clinton will be fit apparently.
Should we be hoping to Hicks as referee - he certainly had a good grasp of the decision for Cas's winning try, a better one than Sandercock having seen the SL full time show last night? Missed your forward pass but touch judge did too.
Love the build up to a derby game, but can never call it.
Lots of doubts over starting line ups etc - can see you guys getting the win to be honest but i prefer to look at Easter as a whole - if we get 1 win out of the weekend then I will be happy, regardless of who it is against

Same for me, tbh. It might be false memory, but I've got a feeling we usually get 2 points from 2 games over Easter - haven't checked back though. I'd prefer Rovers won the derby and got the points there, but at this point I aren't choosy.
Little things can decide these games, an odd bounce, an early injury unbalancing the team - If Dobson or Lynch, as captains and key players, turned an ankle in the first few minutes, it'd shift the odds heavily.
Even when we had our run of 6 from 7, 4 of the wins were by 6 points or less. Nowt can be taken for granted.

Spot on there about Dobson and Lynch. Lynch has been fantastic for us, and as I pointed out on Friday night to friends, if we lost him now without Moa and Omeley we would be screwed. Same with Dobson for you. He is so influential, if you Lost him for some time your season would be over. This is a big game for both sides as I feel both sides with lose on Monday, as the derby will take too much out of both sides
Thank you Adam Pearson for giving the faithful hope
