Surprised there's no thread on this one yet seeing there's only 3 days to go, but anyway..
With our recent stumbles and it being a "must win/cup final" event for Rovers to progress to avoid the Middle 8s, I can see us coming a cropper here. They have multiple returning players, apparently, whilst we have doubts over: Sneyd Shaul Tuimavave Watts Pritchard Ellis Minichiello Green
As always there'll be differing views on whether we gamble on fitness of key players, but I really think Radford will have an eye on the cup. With the "decider" for the season's derbies (assuming Rovers don't make the 8 ) already won in May, I'd be conservative in my squad selection. Either way I've heard they're planning to blitz us early doors.

Aye, no doubt our many strike players will look to put us out of sight by the break.
We will to have to hit the ground running to stop you getting a roll on, as Leeds did pretty well.
No reason to take gambles, but equally no need to wrap anybody in cotton wool. We need the points, you don't want your blip to become a wobble. There'll be more games, and more important games for both teams, whatever happens though.

Important game as Saints are sneaking up on the top 4 and they could be 4 points behind us at the split. Interesting squad and team selection, I wouldn't risk anyone not 100%.
We should be confident whatever team we put out, we have talked about our strength and good young players, now it's time to test it out.
I'd expect Sneyd, Ellis, Green and Mini to be OK
So worst case scenario
Pryce/Naughton Fonua Micheals Yeaman Talanoa Pryce/Abdul Taylor Houghton Green Manu Mini Ellis

Shaul will be OK to play but i expect Naughton will come in on the wing for either Talanoa or Fonua with Michaels moving to centre Will be interesting if Radford does drop Fonua as it will be the first time any of our overseas boys from this year have been dropped.
