Four day turnaround to a trip to France. Assume Shaul and Griffin won't make it, but could Taylor and Lane be back along with Kelly?

Always a big ask - Catalans big winners last time out and with proper home advantage. Interesting fixture. Hope to see similar linespeed to today and the forwards getting stuck in against a big pack.

Last says that Shaul and Griffin could have stayed on, so they are in contention for Thursday.

Probably wise to make a few changes though with a short turnaround. Hope to see Taylor and Kelly back. Any news on Ellis?

We have maybe struggled without Ellis for 2-3 years but imo we now no longer need him. He'll get his final swan song over the next few games but i finally feel we have found a worthy replacement in Cator

Ellis struggling with his knee

This is a big game for us, and a really tough test, if we can er pull it off

that glimmer of a top four hope flickers again.

I'm starting to think the club are right not offering Kelly a contract, misses too many games, think one more season might be too much for him and his body.

I wonder if they will consider Carlos or Griffin at FB and Fonua at centre, I wouldn't, but I'd have Fonua on the bench. My team would be

Connor
Ratu
Carlos
Griffin
Faraimo
McNamara
Sneyd
Bowden
Houghton
Sao
Ma'u
Savelio
Cator

Taylor
Johnstone
Sao
Fonua

Are you leaving Big Chris out Dave

Is this game on our league? As not on sky and they’ve their own TV.
Or does anyone know if it will be streamed?

Cancelled Covid issues ffs

5 catalans players have tested positive for covid 19. might not be such a bad thing for our players to get a break in

Could Catalans struggle to get 15 games in now, especially if their Monday fixture against Wire is canned too?!

Probably, but Leeds have to play Cas twice and Wakefield twice, I can't see us catching them.
Catching Warrington could be a better bet.



Our best possible win percentage has also dropped unless we get to play the cats game, which is highly unlikely.

If that happens, it’s a shame for Catalans, but others like us may benefit, we can only try and keep winning.

it was a very long shot that we would be able to trouble the top 4 anyway

We can put our feet up, and rest for the derby,

Why do some clubs get to not play, missing 5 players , but others missing 12 have to play?

Good news in a way for Kevin Deighton though, was going to be his first match missed in 40 years.
