Looking forward to this now we seem to look like we may have a pack to play behind my team would be

1 Dixon
2 Charlie
3 sio
4 welham
5,mantellato
6 campese
7 Kelly
8 walker
9 French John
10 Burke
11 larroyer
12,Horne
13 McCarthy

14 green
15 tilse
16 Blair
17 lunt/ esslemont

Depending on lunts fitness maybe give him a week off and when John needs spelling put Blair into centre sio on wing and B,C at 9

Is Blair fit? Hope so, I think we have missed him the last 2 games.

Blairs fit and green is going to play with an injection

Boudebza.

His name is John Boudebza.

We've had enough (and hopefully more) French players to accord them the respect of calling them by their correct names.

French John sounds cool French Kevin doesn't have the same ring to it hence he gets called by his full name

It doesn't.

And I am the arbiter of "cool" around here.

The mere fact that you iterated the word "cool" ensures that you are not.

Boudebza.

Lorroyer.

Super Kev at an absolute push.

Do I wish to be called Sandro I'll Terrorists", or "Big Fat,Barry At ,Sue Down's" ?

Lorroyer? I thought you wanted them called by their correct names?

You will be known as Italian Sandro to me now

Good point, hung by own petard, as usual.

Fouque moi, c'est "HOISTED"! Pas "hung" !!!!!!

Bonjour everybody. U guys have a safe trip.

Goose, it sounds like you've been egg sitting for too long in the nest, whilst Mrs Goose has been out chasing the other ganders in town. Somethings got you in a right y and I doubt if it is your concern at the use of inaccurate nomenclature towards our French playing staff on this forum. Cornwall is a long way for a weekend, so I'm putting your y down to jetlag following the long migration flight back home.

However, as my Moderator elect, you are the definitely the arbiter of cool.

Back on topic, I expect the starting 17 against Catalans to be:

Dixon
Mantellato
Welham
Sio
Cockayne
Campese
Kelly
Walker
Boudebza
Burke
Horne
Blair
McCarthy

Green
Tilse
Larroyer
Robinson

Think we'll struggle without Lunt, he has made a massive difference so far , Cockayne will have to deputise as interchange hooker. So that will cause a problem at centre / wing where with Goulding and Salter missing it looks a bit threadbare. Blair at centre?

Surprise Hallet hasn't been given the nod, is he injured?

I'll go with

Dixon

Mantelato
Welham
Blair
Sio

Campese
Kelly

Walker
Boudebza
Burke
Larroyer
Horne
McCarthy

Green
Tilse
Cockayne
Ollett

Chester has already said sio at centre and cockayne on the wing Robinson will probably be on the bench

I'm not convinced Chester will trust Robinson at this stage, or indeed Boudebza from the start due to his lack of size. I suspect Graeme Horne may start at Hooker.

I think French John should play hooker I'm not a fan of playing players out of position

Stop it.

What's the problem Italian Sandro

Today's team: Dixon, Mantellato, Sio, Blair, Cockayne, Kelly, Campese, Tilse, Boudebza, Walker, Horne, Larroyer, McCarthy. Subs: Green, Burke, Ollett, Esslemont

We've been rubbish so far other than a 15 minute spell in the first half. Too many penalties and mistakes.

Kelly's kicking game is rubbish and Blair has been very poor at centre.

Luckily Catalans keep letting us back into it.

He we should have won. Blair dropping at key moments killed any momentum we had. Need to sort out our away form quickly

Similar to the Widnes game. Should have won it, but we beat ourselves unfortunately. Kelly bombed 2 tries, Blair had dropsy in the centres and we gifted them field position through needless penalties and coughing up the ball cheaply. Catalans were better defensively than in recent games but were still there for the taking. Gutted.

You threw away the 2 points tonight through errors and really poor discipline at times. tilse did OK though I thought for you and you'll be 7th or 8th at the split I reckon as your home form is good and you still have 4 points to take from us

2 points lost for you guys, unlike our lot who gave them away gift wrapped with a kiss

Agree,the game was there for the taking,unfortunately too many silly penalties through indiscipline cost us.
