I would say McIllorum would definitely fit into our team. The rest, no thanks.

Luke Walsh not in squad which I think totally outweighs the potential players returning ...he seems to have been the only guy trying to create anything in Catalans last game

They played well against Saints at home and dreadful the next game away at HKR, hard to tell which team is going to turn up, playing them away we need to be switched on from the off. I personally think it will be a close game with a Wakey win

the full game last week and every game of other teams that have been on sky/fox

catlans have named probably their strongest side of the year- we will have to play very well to win - on the first two games those performance wont be enough.
I am hoping for a fast track to cause what we do have is speed.

Well after finding out ATM 8:30 this morning my lad has been put in to the U19's starting line up due to an injury I've managed to sort a flight and car plus hotel to get out there in the morning, hopefully see 2 wins with my lad making his official debut in a trin shirt after playing in 2 pre-season friendlies.


Unfortunately the forecast is only 10C not like every other time I've been and it's been in the high 70's or warmer

Good luck to him, I hope he has a brilliant debuticon_smile.gif

Great stuff FT.Brings back memories.Hope he goes well.

Can’t get this year , but great to hear that Oliver is in the squad, give him a big well done from the Crowther clan I’m sure he’ll go well

Might as well post the 19 man squad. Looks very strong, just Randall obviously missing who'd be in there. Going to be a hard one to pick the 17 imo.

Tinirau Arona
Matty Ashurst
Jordan Baldwinson
Mason Caton-Brown
Anthony England
David Fifita
Liam Finn
Scott Grix
Ryan Hampshire
Justin Horo
Craig Huby
Tom Johnstone
Ben Jones-Bishop
Danny Kirmond
Reece Lyne
Jacob Miller
Pauli Pauli
Bill Tupou
Kyle Wood

Aye good look to him FT on making the 19's. Hope he has a blinder mate.

Anyway, let's hope it's 10C and dry because that will suit us, instead of the high summer temps that we've played in.

Glad to see Baldwinson in the squad looked very good in the reserves game. Some big contacts. Hopefully plays well and keeps this place. As chezzy said some changes next week so hopefully see batch and crowth in there

MCB and Kirmond to miss out.

Good luck FT.
Hope he has a blinder.

Fully agree. No need to change wingers and need to cut out silly penalties.

You're probably right about MCB but, I dont see Kirmond missing out.
What makes it interesting is that Chester has said that Baldwinson will be on the bench.
Therefore, one of the regulars will be taking a rest.

Good luck to him FT.

Let's hope he has a blinder

Can't find 19's score. Any update?

20-18 Catalans I believe.

Every win is a great win, 3 from 3 . Catalans 100% better than last week and it was a very tough game.

Thanks. Close game then.

yep to come away with 2 points is always a difficult task at Cats.

The Tom Johnstone try was worthy of the win. Fifita’s immense effort wasn’t far behind, last season he may have bombed that. On the negative side Justin Horo could have single handedly thrown that game away. Think he needs dropping after that performance.

Oh yeah, Bill Tupou was man of the match by a country mile. Very dangerous player.

A win is a win, we're 3 from 3 and currently second in the league with a game in hand over 4 teams

Some fantastic pieces of play mixed in with some scrappy bits. Grix was brilliant as usual.

Onwards and upwards, let's go for 4 from 4!!

Think Horo was guilty of trying too hard on his return to France. Losing Wood early will have disrupted our rhythm as well, although thought Hampshire played well.

Chester hinted at changes for the Hudds game due to shorter turnaround. I would expect Kirmond, Anakin, Arundel and MCB may play plus Hirst if fit
