On form tonight

I and sum nursing on a weekend

Nethertons effort or commitment isn't in question, its his ability, he may well give his all, but his all isn't good enough, he doesn't make the yards he should, People go on about his defence, but last season he averaged 24 tackles a game.

I don't know about anyone else on here, but I am waiting (with more interest than other seasons) on the squad announcement wondering who Sandy is going to select at 7 & 9.

My source at Rovers has kept things pretty close to his chest this week and wouldn't even give a hint whether or not Withers or Josh would be fit or if Callum Taylor and Keal Carlile would be in the running. Similarly, I got a blank stare when I asked him if Lee, Bell or Beherral would be in at 7.

What he did say was Mika, McDonnell and Lovegrove have been training and he expects them to be in the 19.

I await the squad news with baited breath!

Based on Jason's performance for the U20s against Saints last week (we lost 20-10 in what was a cracking and bruising encounter) I thought he looked as though he had got his appetite back. Looking fitter and more mobile he did his cause no harm and it wouldn't surprise me to see him in todays 19 man squad.

I thought that Sam Jowesy, Lloyd Ofosi, George Griffin and Tyla Hepi were all more effective and certainly more aggresive than Jase Netherton against Saints u20s. I would accept that it must be hard for an established first grader to motivate himself to play at that level but i would expect as a bare minimum that he outplays the youngsters around him. He didnt. He will still be in the 19 though i reckon.

McDonnell, Hall, D. Hodgson, Clinton, Withers, Webster, Watts, Wheeldon, Taylor, Lovegrove, J. Hodgson, Paea, Horne, Murrell, Mika, Netherton, Cox, Welham, Latus. www.superleague.co.uk/preview/7472 Hmmm. Is that just last week's squad, up in error? Murrell? D. Hodgson?

Add josh and withers to that???

We can replace any injured players in the 19 up to kick off with medical evidence. Maybe Sandercock doesnt want to show his hand. Could be a clever ploy.
Could also be that some wally has e-mailed the RFL last weeks squad.

This is the 19 man squad (with my added extras) as per the Stobart SL on-line site -

McDonnell, Hall, D. Hodgson(out for 4-6 wks), Clinton, Withers(doubtful), Webster, Watts, Wheeldon, Taylor, Lovegrove, J. Hodgson (doubtful), Paea, Horne, Murrell (out for 2 weeks), Mika, Netherton, Cox, Welham, Latus.

As you can see its an unchanged squad?

There has to be a mistake [iunless [/icertain players have made miraculous recoveries or been patched up or its the worst example of kidology I've ever seen!

I would go with the latter.

I hardly think Wire will be thrown into confusion with this announcement.

Perhaps not thrown into confusion but, for instance, if Sandercock intends to play Matty Beharrel at 7 this week then announcing the squad like this gives Adrian Morley 3 less days to decide which of his limbs to rip off first. If i were Matty this would be the way i would want it.

It's the latter isn't it.

Maybe Beharral can wear a Dobson mask, that'll fool 'em.

No squad details up on website so its wishful thinking. Having said that the true squad may have Dobson back.

Morley is an off-the-cuff dismemberer though, he will just decide on the spur of the moment.

Stop showing off.

The Robins have named their 19-man squad for Sunday's away clash at Warrington Wolves (KO 3pm).
1- Shannon McDonnell
2- Craig Hall
25- Keal Carlile
8- Joel Clinton
14- Lincoln Withers
4- Jake Webster
15- Liam Watts
22- Scott Wheeldon
10- Scott Taylor
13- Rhys Lovegrove
9- Josh Hodgson
23- Mickey Paea
18- Graeme Horne
28- Dave Petersen
11- Con Mika
16- Jason Netherton
20- Jordan Cox
3- Kris Welham
21- Sam Latus

Withers still listed?

Master stroke.

Ahh didn't see this.

Three threads all discussing the same thing is the way forward, no room for diversity or banter here.

Suppose it would stop chitter-chatter on at least one of them.

Thats more like it lol!

Second guessing, it looks as though Withers will shrug off his injury in time to play at 7 and maybe Petersen will get the nod at 13.

Maybe something like this:-

McDonnell
Hall, Welham Webster Latus
Lovegrove Withers
Clinton Carlile Paea
Mika Horne
Petersen
Bench: Watts Taylor Cox Wheeldon

Its a solid enough line up.

If Josh Hodg passes a late fitness test I reckon Petersen will miss out
