We need the fans out in force for this one, even though Thursday night live on SKY isnt ideal. Crowd last week was given as 11k but far less than that in the ground with a lot of passholders missing.

I think its pretty much season over if we lose, and we need to back the team as best we can.

Potentially Ellis' last home game of the season too, I'll be coming over Thursday afternoon, looking forward to it.

No potential about it. We cannot reach second spot now so this will be the last time all leavers will play at the KC. Hopefully they'll receive the send off they deserve

Get there if you can, I know Thursdays can be a rush but as has been said this is Gareth Ellis' final game at the KCOM as well as it being a farewell to Mahe Fonua and Steve Michaels.

Need a big crowd getting behind the team.

apart from green we will be at full strength if everyone comes through this week

no excuses, win at all costs

I don't think he will. The concensus from ex players and refs is that it was a really harsh decision, and these are the people that make up the panel. I think he will get SOS.

On this occasion I am pleased to say I told you so.

How many pass holders were missing?

From the West Stand, it looked like the East stand was highly populated.

Irrespective, all who can get there should do their bit and cheer the lads on from the stands rather than the ale house

Would imagine that the only real question is Talanoa or Michaels. Could make an argument for Griffin or Connor at right centre, and Fash or Thompson for the bench. I'd go with this though:

Shaul
Fonua
Griffin
Carlos
Talanoa/Michaels
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Watts
Minichiello
Manu
Ellis

Bowden
Washbrook
Thompson
Connor

Fash and Talanoa/Michaels to miss out.

Phil Bentham is the ref and, more importantly, the video ref is Thaler.
