Why doesnt it surprise me Stan isn't in the side!
Absolutely love the bloke and have idolised him since his first game on British soil at the scabby Boulevard playing for PNG!!
However he's become a liability, you dont know what kind of game he's going to have, one game he'll win it almost on his own the next he'll look like Eddie the Eel doing 100mtr doggy paddle!!!
I personally dont expect us to win on Friday nor do I think we're ready to win the GF (if we do brilliant) but I also dont think Stan has another year in him and possibly gone one season too far as it is. Take an ambassadorial role with Rovers and help develop the kids.
With Cockayne given another week to recover after his pot was taken off I fully expect Briscoe to play now. With Murrell's ball handling before the game at Wakey I'd suspect he was keen to play then! And even if Galea has a bit of muscle damage it wont be anything an injection wont take care of!!

If they're all fit, we've got just about our strongest team available which is something to be very grateful for. To have a chance against Leeds, Rovers will have to be at their best.
On Stanley Gene, if he is retiring, I guess there might be some pressure to play him for the home play-off game as a send-off (his last two games against Quins and Wakey wouldn't be much of a way to say goodbye). It will be too big a game for sentiment though, IMO, and he should only be picked if he merits selection. The January friendly with Hull would be a chance for him to play his last game for Rovers and would put a few on the gate for Richard Horne, I'm sure.

Well that is a very strong side!!! Im look forward to going so much though and hoping that we might be able to sneak it. Looks unlikley though against that team
But bring it on though!
