It's frustrating watching the good players we do have crumble under the weight of expectation and lack of quality from their teammates at the moment.
That's why I think if we can just fix up some balance/structural issues with some more quality, we could turn into a decent side quite quickly.
If the side can get Hurrell into decent ball more of the time he'll score tries for fun in SL.

Not long ago we were saying that about Watkins. Sad.

| Singleton made 19 tackles, missed 2 tackles and gave away a penalty, he ran 29 metres in 5 carries.
For a starting prop forward that is embarrassing.

Against Saints? Where he was rubbish as I stated up above. Against Wigan the week before though he was brilliant, and the week before that very good. What about those stats?

| I don't know if Singleton is still injured, he seemed to lose a lot of form through last year for some reason.
If he's popular in the squad I can see him being retained as a rotation prop, but for me although he is tough, he lacks the quality we need.
What we lack IMO is a Fifita type bruiser who has real presence in the middle and can also create something.
One of the intriguing aspects of this year actually is that Wakey look bang out of form now at the wrong time of year...
Catalans is an unpredictable fixture, they will be hurting and seeing Leeds as a good opportunity to get back on track.
We also struggle with the most physical sides (even if they're in the Championship...).
I'd have to tip us to win this one though because the urgency of the situation now can't be lost on anyone. I do think if we can snaggle Lui is will help, and it's Watkins' final game? There should be enough factors along with home advantage to get us the win, but we must start well this week and deny Catalans momentum and confidence.

| Merrin to captain the side. Watkins already gone. Shame he didn't get to say bye to the fans even if he was prevented from playing.

Real shame for Watkins and the fans is that
Bigger shame it will mean Ferres starting

| Yes an unfortunate turn, would have been good for Watkins to play one more time at HQ.
Merrin as captain it is; not a shocker.

| I would start Lunt if he is fit, without a doubt. Catalans are a big side, who look to get on top early on. If they are not successfull with that, they go to pieces, and then you hit them with your own burst of momentum. Lunt would be far better defensively than Dwyer for that early containment, and then the introduction of Dwyer 25 minutes in, should see that momentum shift where Catalans start to collapse.

| Yep, Lunt starts for me as well.
I know Dwyer has had his knockers but a 25-30 minutes spell against a tiring Catalan side he can do some damage.

Starting with a new 9 and 6 is a bit of a gamble, but it would be interesting to see if it improves our shape. We just need to get Newman and Hurrell into space with Walker up into the line in good ball - most sides would worry with that.

| Good to hear a strong confident attitude from Lui, something along the lines of ‘if the pack takes us forward we will take care of the rest’
Over to the the pack then.....

Ferres has been poor but sadly we need him unless we have any returning from injury. Having our 2nd rows as Smith, Donaldson and Sutcliffe, they will be seriously out muscled by Catalans big forwards

| Hope we go with
Walker
T.Briscoe
Newman
Hurrell
Handley/(L.Briscoe if Handley isn't fit)
Lui
Myler
Seamanufagai
Lunt
Singleton
Smith
Sutcliffe
Merrin
Subs
Cuthbertson
Dwyer
Oldezki
Donaldson
No Doubt Ferres will play and I sort of agree with a previous poster he is bigger than Smith, Sutcliffe, Donaldson but he has little effort and is shocking every week but he'll probably play in back row with Smith missing out I reckon.

They are both experienced players so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue. The rest of the team needs to learn to play off them quickly.
