Right then, derby up next. The usual faffing about with squad speculation/timely boosts etc. Looks like we'll be missing Shaul, Kelly, Jones but hopefully Taylor and Lane back. Guessing either Connor to FB and McNamara in the halves or Wynne at FB leaving Connor at 6.

Hull in decent form, Rovers looking poor with no coach.

Got all the makings of a Rovers win this one.

Thoroughly depressing prospect right now.

Any idea what start the bookies are giving us? Hopefully the weather will be terrible to keep the score down a bit.

Absolutely. Resting their key players like Parcell and Linnett v Wakefield so clearly targeting this game with it being Hudgell's last Derby as chairman. Crikey.

Rovers hammered by Wakey this afternoon.

We really should have no problems on Thursday but derbies are derbies. I wonder how the neutral stadium and lack of a crowd will affect that though.

Won't see Kelly in a FC SHIRT again unfortunately plus can't see Shaul playing again this year.

On the + side, our game is on sky sports mix for anybody that doesn't pay for Sky Sports.

The full 21-man squad is named below:

2. Bureta Faraimo

3. Carlos Tuimavave

4. Josh Griffin

6. Jake Connor

7. Marc Sneyd

8. Scott Taylor

9. Danny Houghton

10. Chris Satae

11. Josh Jones

12. Manu Ma’u

13. Ligi Sao

15. Joe Cator

16. Jordan Johnstone

20. Brad Fash

21. Jordan Lane

22. Josh Bowden

23. Andre Savelio

24. Mahe Fonua

30. Jack Brown

31. Cameron Scott

33. Ratu Naulago

No idea who's going to play fullback looking like Griffin or tuimavave with fonua in the centres.

Carlos 6 and Connor at 1.

Yeah never though of that, think I'd much rather see Carlos in the centre but with no fullback in the 21 a reshuffle is needed. Luckily we have a lot of quality in the backs.
