I think this may be the first time I have missed attending this match since the tradition began in 2002. Nonetheless, I will be glued to the screen on Sunday afternoon, 25 April 2021. It should once again be a cracker of a game and an occasion. I am very much looking forward to the team donning that famous sky blue war jersey. It will be fitting.

 

[The Fanatical Rooster]

I don't think that we should be hot favourites. It could actually shape to be a very interesting affair, this one. Those guys have a great record against us in this fixture. I hope that we win, of course, but anything can happen.

[Babyface O'reilly]

Don’t know what to expect from this game. Probably glass-half-empty but hoping for pleasant surprises

 

[Valheru]

I think in terms of who we can name, things are looking better than they were Friday after the storm game.

Apparently SST just needs to be monitored and should be fine.

Radley should absolutely be successful in his down grade given what has come to light int he media around that situation which would mean a fine only.

JWH is unknown at this stage

Robbo indicated Verrils would be close to ready as well

 

[The Fanatical Rooster]

Let's hope things are on the up compared to Friday night. Having a longer than usual turnaround might work in our favour a bit. Sam is close, and it might give both SST and JWH enough time to be right on the day. Fingers crossed.

Radley playing is an absolute must. I can’t see us winning without him. His defensive efforts are a given but it’s more the stability he will give our young halves that is more important.

 

[muzby]

I can’t see us winning

Me either.

 

[Valheru]

Both SSt and JWH named which is a huge positive.

Verrills also named

Radley named pending judiciary outcome.
