Catalan

A much tougher game coming up this weekend, I'm expecting the real Fartown to turn up for this, they generally play better against the better sides, and Catalan can certainly be regarded in that category now, There will be nothing easy about this game and we can expect the sort of treatment from the Dragons halves as we are used to seeing Brough dish out, closing them down will be the first priority.
We look like having a full strength side bar Brough and LOD so if the pack can do the business and someone can put in a half decent kicking game we can beat them, It would certainly be a good one to win and would set us up really well for the up coming game at the JJB where we have a decent record. N Brown says he is going to be tough , lets hope he can get the team to be equally tough.

Brown and Robbo will have to step up in the kicking duties if we're going to get anything out of this game. Hoping we come out all guns blazing after last week though to stay on same points as Wire who could face a stiff challenge from Hull KR away this weekend.

Think we have the tougher game than wire. Weeds hammered HKR and we know how poor Weeds are!!
K Brown needs to now show us how he got in England squad last year cos I still have my doubts about him as a 6 and with Broughy out we need a kicking game from someone and also someone to set up the plays.

I think he is a great 6, but certainly needs to take a game by the scruff of the neck. He is captain and needs to lead by example. Kicking to touch and goal SHOULD NOT be an issue if Leroy plays, but it seemed like he has not practiced as DB is our 1st choice.

The return of Fa'alogo & Faiumu will make a huge difference,not to mention Griffin after his 'minor' problem.Grix too should be back.He's an important player for us now,you don't realise how important until he's not there no more.

NB says some will be dropped after last week,I'll have a guess at Horne,Cording & Patrick as just 3 of them.

Hope they don't drop Kyle Wood,don't think he could be blamed after that debacle.Plus he has a fair kicking game.I'd certainly leave Robinson as the starting hooker.

Thinking back to the cup game,we wore the Catalans forwards down in the second half,and no reason to believe we couldn't do it again.They are capable of scoring well crafted tries themselves though,as they did in that game.It could be fairly close,we need to play well to win.
