What is the likely line up of the Dragons for Cardiff? Any ideas

Not much of it about before the biggest Derby of them all

should be a close encounter - I have to say Greenshields looks ominously good in pre-season ...

At least there will be 1 good player on the pitch then

It's difficult isn't it. Don't reckon either side are much to write home about, hence the lack of cocksuredness from both camps.

Still, what better way to get a new season up and running than by smashing the Old Enemy all over South Wales? Merveilleux

Clint & Farrar worked well together as did Dureau,Baile & Gigot - I would love to see Pelissier given the chance - he looks awesome !

i'm hoping to get down to Perpignan area for a couple of days and on thursday to see the lads training - do you have any questions you want me to ask them or TR ? Will hopefully have time to call into TO on thursday evening on the way home to see the TO lads training also.

That's not official but i think i will be like this :

1. Greenshields
2. Blanch
3. Farrar
4. Sa
5. Stacul
14. Gigot
7. Dureau
8. Ferriol
9. Henderson
10. Casty
11. Menzies
12. Raguin
13. Mounis

23. Paea
22. Fakir
17. Gossard
15. Baile

Blanch even looks a bit like Steve Bell from a distance...

I see little to fear in the Dragons line-up and certainly, although its still better than ours, their pack isn't as good as it used to be.

Very tough one to call. I think we can nab a victory as we often do on the first matchday - but anyone travelling to Cardiff, be careful and watch out for Ultras!

Regarding the game - got a preview ready to go tomorrow, but who wants to do me a report? I won't get to see it at all - no Sky Sports and will be at a football match anyway in one of my other roles.

The Quins will dominate the mis-firing Dragons. Believe me. It'll be smashing!

Add Baitieri & Pelissier & thats the 19 announced for Saturday

Any takers for the match reporters job this weekend yet?

Off to see John Bishop in Nottingham if you want a report on that?

Unless anywhere is showing it in that fair city but we arent allowed to do threads asking that

I agree with the turncoat traitor that we have lower quality etrangers and less French stars. What we do have, though, is better quality depth in our French players - which is a (rare, possibly unique) positive. At this rate we may well need a second French Franchise to showcase the local talent.

nah' nothing like him Jimmy - SB was tall & lean DB is shorter and stockier - same accent though...

the squad has been posted on the website www.catalansdragons.com/index.ph ... -02-10_899 they looked great in training today with Menzies pasing a tough fitness test and Hendo looking like a younger Kieron Cunnigham (God) to boot - good luck lads.. just wonder about

The Dragons will lose.

very prophetic statement but would you care to put some flesh on the bones ?

how can the Dragons be 'misfiring' as you put it as they haven't even started yet !

Got it covered. Thanks to DAIHAPPY

No, I would not.

seems a pretty pointless statement then don't you think ?

No they won't. Jinx. No comebacks.

Life is pointless. We are worthless. It is not until you have lost everything that you are free.
