Come on Phillip, he said they'd both play. Not that it was a possibility. As previously predicted by, er, me, as soon as Morgan did his famous "diagnosis doom" in the post match press conference:



27th Feb as Dobson is injured and the recovery period is claimed to be 10 weeks



Then, on March 16th with Newton also supposedly ruled out:

I still don't think either will play

Oh, the old double bluff. Not falling for that.

I think Justin said they could play easter weekend,dint mention which game ! IIRC.

agree, they both will thankfully

I think Dobson will play, so who now is going to de-registered?????????



Back to the derby, really not looking forward to it. Every time we play rovers they seem much more pumped up, focussed and more of a team than we ever do.

Dobson is playing...newton a bigger doubt.

so whos getting de registed now then to make way

If and it's a bloody BIG if he is playing how do we know it hasn't already been sorted out.

Just playing devils avocate.

I myself think we will be without both Newton and Dobson, I also belive you will win.

I also think neither will play against fc and IIRC no other player can be deregistered in this affair.Once Masons passport comes thru,Mason goes Tongan and Dobson gets put back on quota.If Dobson is back on quota Mason is Togan or gets deregistered.

I can take it or leave it to be honest. The same as I've felt for every other game this season. Could well be a sub 20K attendance I reckon.

Will probably be a close game. I'm sure the Rovers fans will enjoy their annual big day out though.

If the RFL stick to what they announced then this is correct.
