I don't think we will learn much about the new attacking style we are going to adopt, but we should learn a lot about the teams character. It's just a grind it out game tonight.

Gonna be crap conditions so hope people aren't expecting miracles with attacking play...let's play the conditions and get the win.The attacking play will come when grounds firm up.

Could be similar conditions to the play offs. Would happily take the same result.

I reckon you'll get the win tonight, Not expecting a classic due to the conditions but I think you'll sneak a win.

Dureau out tonight I'm hearing.

Big boost if true

You are joking ive got him in my fantasy team!!!

That's what I've just been told.

Reliable Sky source

Let's see if we've learnt our Wembley lesson. Should be a pretty dour encounter.

Big forward battle tonight.

Adding Carvell is a major boost.

Narrow FC victory.

Spot on mate according to Smailes Twitter



Our side is;

Picking up Carvell and Dureau pulling out late, is a huge boost for FC, things going in your favour must be nice!

Tremendous!

Good to see we're going to even get a build up. Wouldn't have even thought us and Catalans were even playing tonight.

Good news for those that haven't gone and are watchin in sky, stevo has lost his voice.

Same old problems.

Could be all over these if the discipline was better.

We don't seem to have got any smarter, do we?

Good energy and enthusiasm though.

Smashing.

We're dumb and we don't have a scrum half playing, blinding.

Good try. Simple stuff but nicely played. Amazing what a bit of possession in the opposition half can do.

One attack, one try. Can't say fairer than that.

Good play from Westerman for the Whiting try.

Obviously early days but going well this game. Hitting very hard.

Terrible defence from our right edge. Shocking.

Can someone explain to lineham that he's a winger. That's twice and 2 tries. No positional sense.
