Obviously we cant rest too many as Bradford still pose a serious threat, but I think my 17 should still pull trough.
1-Dixon
2-Gudzek
3-Salter
4-Welham
5-Cockayne
6-Campo
7-M.Marsh
8-Walker
9-Boudebza
10-Burke
11-Ollett
12-Donaldson
13-McCarthy

14-Larroyer
15-Green
16-Allgood
17-Lunt

Would have had Cox in there but not to be.

Either Campo or Dixon to take the goal attempts.

Absolutely no way would I leave Kelly out. And if I was going to play Gudzek it would be at his natural position of full back.

Thankfully Marsh and Gudzek are on loan at Coventry so they can't be selected. We need to pick a pretty much strongest side, I'm sick of getting knocked out early on (admittedly we have had shat draws). This is very winnable but we have to take it as seriously as a SL game.

Bradford might not be as big a threat as you think. Siejka is out injured and Gaskell is a doubt following a knock to the shoulder and our back up half back has gone on a months loan at Oxford so we're likely to be using stand ins at 6 & 7 against you guys.

Greeny has broken a rib, so he is a definite absentee. not sure on Dono either.
I would give campo a week off rather than albert.
If I was to play Guzdek, I would put Dixon on the wing with Charlie. (presuming Sio and manto were rested)
I would personally love to give Walker a week off, but thats not going to happen unfortunately due to Greens injury.

We cannot underestimate Bradford regardless of their injuries and a victory is a must.

We're also down to our 4th and 5th choice centres.

If we had the first choice 17 out we'd give you a game but can't see past a HKR win by 20 - if you play your 1st teamers.

play our fittest 17, simplz.

It's over 32 years since Rovers last appeared in a major final and it will be another 32 years plus until they appear in another one. LOL
Get your money on Bradford.


Bye bye now I have to go as this forum is so boring I'm losing the will to live.

Nobody asked for you to come on here, but I must say you do bring something new to the forum. You are probably the worst troll we have had.

AND the biggest barm pot we have ever had

Rubbish at arithmetic as well.

Bradford have a good squad - much better than most teams in the Championship have been able to field in recent years, even if it sounds like they have some injury problems. It'd maybe be a good idea to freshen things up, but we shouldn't be taking too many risks on kids, thinking it'll be easy.

Are the HDM comments column short of an idiot or was it banned off there before deciding to post BS on here.

Rubbish at maths but great at avoiding my questions about the derby on 2nd April. I bet you were losing the will to live that night.

Or at least it would, if it could.

1 Dixon
2 Charlie
3 Salter
4 welham
5 sio
6 Blair
7 Kelly
8 allgood
9 boudebza
10 Burke
11 larroyer
12 Horne
13 esselmont

14 McCarthy
15 walker
16 lunt
17 u19s forward

Can, Esselmont be recalled from Stanley RLFC?

Good to see a few Rovers lads getting game time at Cov, I'll definitely be catching a game or two when I'm down there.

Regardless of how he's been so far - which seems hot and cold - we (Bradford) have never dealt with Kieran Dixon whenever we've faced him so he'll probably have another field day against us.

I hope Donno plays, I saw him the other week at Odsal and I'm keeping a close eye on how he goes for you guys this year.

F@&k off then, moron

I'd expect him to play if he gets over the knock he took on Easter Monday. He's going ok for us, better defensive than with ball in hand, but that's probably no surprise for you to hear. He's already had 2 spells out injured though, so hopefully his luck improves.

Looking forward to visiting on Sunday providing the weather stays dry.

Anyone else concerned we're gonna be very light in the pack (yet again) I read Allgood and Green are doubts for the weekend. Regardless of the quality of the opposition, without much go forward in the pack we're gonna make heavy weather of it

Our squad:

Adam Henry, Adam O'Brien, Adam Sidlow, Alex Mellor, Chev Walker, Chris Ulugia, Dale Ferguson, Dan Fleming, Danny Addy, Danny Williams, Epalahame Lauaki, Etu Uaisele, Jay Pitts, Jean-Philipe Baile, Lee Gaskell, Lucas Walshaw, Paul Clough, Ryan Shaw, Tom Olbison.

We've a few backs missing and a makeshift halfback pairing but pretty strong up front.

Now, there's a name from the past who can easily be wound up.

That's a pretty good set of forwards. Quite impressed with that.

14 Mitch Allgood
24 John Boudebza
17 Greg Burke
23 Terry Campese
2 Ben Cockayne
1 Kieran Dixon
15 James Donaldson
