Lots to look forward to this week. The return of our Michael, Paea versus Paea.

But we have to be confident, don't we?

Your only concern should be the possible litigation brought by your score board operator when he gets repetitive strain injury.

Ouch. Not confident of a result then?

One change to the squad from last week: Pelissier's back! He replaces Julien Bousquet in the 19. Still no Greeny, Sa, Menzies, Anderson, Stacul, Vaccari or Hendo Henderson.

So it's: Blanch, Pryce, Bosc, Dureau, Ferriol, Casty, Mounis, Raguin, Baile, Pelissier, Gossard, Millard, Simon, Fakir, Paea, Baitieri, Duport, Fisher, Cardace.

Hull KR, meanwhile, name: Shannon McDonnell, Craig Hall, Jordan Cox, Joel Clinton, Lincoln Withers (great singer, got all his albums), Keal Carlile, Liam Salter, Scott Wheeldon, Scott Taylor, Rhys Lovegrove, Josh Hodgson, Mickey Paea, Graeme Horne, Scott Murrell, Little Mickey Dobson (no relation), Jason Netherton, Oh-ma-darlin'-Constantine Mika, Kris Welham (let's hope he's packed for factor 5000), Sam Latus.

I have a bad feeling about this one... we are short of some key players and they wont have any pressure on them...

We're as short of key players as we were last week.

We've got no chance, although I felt the same way on Bastille Day 2007...

I think we will probably lose I just hope we make a good fist of it, especially for those who make the journey because coming back after getting 50 past us in the playoffs last year was a horrendous feeling. Our back line could be weak, Webster and Welham are both uncertainties which could mean Horne and debutant Salter in the centres. We could spring a surprise though we scored 36 against saints with no halfbacks

Made up to see Eloi back. Hopefully he'll get a decent amount of time out in the middle.

Just seen the highlights and Sandercock makes a fair point re a knock-on before the Blanch try. Video ref might have been useful there.
