at Gilbert Brutus. We'd better get a wiggle on forming a team with only 18 days to go.

Don't we have a 2nd pre-season v Leeds a week later?

TR must be taking the team over for some warm weather trg and bonding

Yes!

Wow that's confident, will we really have 17 players by then?!?

Confident indeed given that we only seem to have 12 players able to take to the field. We played the Dragons in a pre-season in 2013 (remember the snow) & won, just. Official confirmation here... www.catalansdragons.com/en/artic ... -schedule/

Do you have details? i am annoyed as i am out there the weekend before, need to look at whether i can get out again!

apologies - didnt look at link above!!!!

I think there is another friendly pencilled in a bit closer to home.

Wasn't there a rumour about us playing Skolars ( not the CC match) ?

I think Skolars are looking for a decent run out in their pre season games.

I will be there! anyone else going?

Kick off confirmed at 17.00, looks like there is a game before St Esteve X111 v Dragon Reserves

The RL Express says its unlikely Skolars will play the Broncos in pre-season. It would be nice however if a game could be played on a free weekend when Broncos are out of the cup.

You are assuming that the Broncos will last longer in the Cup than the Skolars! God loves an optimist!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH PADDOCK BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

Get back to Sydney you miserable sod

Go and watch Oxford with the other moaning sods on here. Leave the real stuff to the men.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOH

If you are coming across to France for the pre-season friendly match against the Dragons why not spend a few days in St Cyprien, which is just down the coast from Canet and only 25 minutes from the stadium.

St Cyprien is the official seaside resort of the Dragons and has a long history of rugby league. Your players are probably staying at the Golf Club in St Cyprien as this is where visiting teams normally stay.

If you PM me I can give you information on properties available to rent and details of transport to and from the stadium. The properties are especially suitable for couples or families.

Our local Dragons supporters group will make any visiting supporters very welcome.

Are you the Major of St Cyprien? or the head of the tourist board??

No just a rugby league fan (ex Wigan now Catalan) who likes to help fellow fans

So 5 days before we play Catalan in a pre-season game...........do we actually have a sufficient number of players and are we able to cover all positions?

Not sure if our new overseas signings are even in the UK yet. Perhaps we are going to borrow some bodies from the Catalan squad. Heaven help us if any of our players get injured.

Any predictions on the final score? 38-12 to Catalans for me.

60-12

23 -15 (Number of players playing in each squad)

58-04 Catalans

Academy centre Harvey Burnett will make his debut tomorrow
