Catalans 12 cas 14

widders 2 tries
evens one try
huby one goal.

Great result boys well done

woohoo!

Quality result. Surprising though. Anyone know the teams?

=#8000FFFrom the Catalan board they played:

1 Clint Greenshields, 2 Steven Bell, 3 Sébastien Raguin, 4 Setaimata Sa, 5 Dimitri Pelo, 6 Adam Mogg, 7 Thomas Bosc, 8 David Ferriol, 9 Casey McGuire, 10 Jérôme Guisset, 11 Olivier Elima, 12 Grégory Mounis, 13 Dallas Johnson, 14 David Guasch, 16 William Barthau, 17 Cyrille Gossard, 19 Julien Touxagas, 20 Kane Bentley, 21 Sébastien Martins, 22 Jamal Fakir, 23 Chris Walker, 24 Rémi Casty, 25 Tony Gigot, Cyril Stacul, Frédéric Vaccari, Michael Simon

a cracking result given the team catalan had out and the players we had missing,pre season can be misleading but never the less its a good result.

That's a strong starting line up, although it seems they have named pretty much their entire squad!

Pleased with the result and I'm sure the team will be, especially given the training situation back home. Always good to get some wins going into the start of the season.

Thanks for that mate. I totlly assumed they fielded a weakened team so I am buzzing about that result. Very impressive whether it's a friendly or not. Especially the scoreline as well. to keep it tight in defence is excellent. Any news of the Cas side?

Dean Widders is gunna be a star for us this season!!

Thats a good result looking at that Dragons squad they put out.

Starting line-up for Catalans Dragons was:

1-Greenshields
2-Bell
3-Raguin
4-Sa
5-Pelo
6-Mogg
7-Bosc
8-Casty (30 minutes: Martins)
9-McGuire
10-Guisset (30 minutes: Mickael Simon)
11-Elima
12-Gossard
13-Fakir (30 minutes: David Guasch)

in second half:

1-Walker (30 minutes: Pelo)
2-Vaccari
3-Bell
4-Sa (30 minutes: Walker)
5-Stacul
6-Gigot
7-Barthau
8-Simon (25 minutes: Casty)
9-Bentley
10-Martins (25 minutes: Guisset)
11-Raguin (30 minutes: Sa)
12-Gossard
13-Mounis


It was a physical game with many handling errors, good job tigers!

Good win for us even if its a friendly,the dragons are a big physical side.

Does anybody know our line up?. Reading sky text it says Widders played at stand off?!

If he did start there was Mcgoldrick playing?

Anyway chuffed for Widders,remember last year when he turned up out of condition?. He really has knuckled down since then,I think if he can stay injury free Dean will have a great year

did rangi chase & joe westerman play for tigers

No.

Judging by the clips on youtube (there is a link on catalans forum or on other cas forum), McGoldrick was at FB, Thompson on wing, Widders and maybe Netherton at 6 + 7, Jones and Hudson rotating hooker.

=#8000FFMcGoldrick
Wainwright
Shenton
Evans
Thompson
Widders
Netherton
Jackson
Hudson
Huby
Jones
Snitch
Clayton

Sarge etc on the bench.

Cheers Gaslight for line up. Will the hudds game on the 25th be when T.M reveals his 1st choice line up?

Well,near 1st choice never know whats happening with Sherwin



The full back & wing positions could be open for debate that game



Huby a shoe in for starting 13 for goal kicking?

=#8000FFApparently against Hudds it will be full strength minus Dixon, so I'd hope it'd be something like:

Owen
Wainwright
Shenton
Evans
Thompson
Chase
Sherwin
Sargent
Hudson
Huby
Jones
Ferres
Westerman

Widders
Snitch
Jackson
McGoldrick

Great result. Does anyone know how the youngsters went on against York today??

Lost 36-30 from been 30-10 in front, from what I've been told

I reckon Owen will start on wing and McGoldrick at FB with no Wainwright. I prefer your line-up though.
I reckon you're right about the bench as well. Judging from those clips of Catalans, and as Jones has been named Vice Captain, I reckon Hudson will be subbed with a SR and Jones will drop into hooker.

Widders seems to be playing himself into starting 17 as well at moment, so it would be Clatyton and Netherton who miss out.

When Dixon is fit, will Wainwright keep his place? Good opportunity for Thompson to stake a claim at moment.

Would be surprised in TM drops Wainwright tbh
