Interesting one, this.

Catalans missing a few, I think, but just basically had a training game at the weekend, so will be fresher.

We're still missing Heremaia and Seymour, maybe O'Carroll back, tougher game on Sunday, but a better run-out?

Think this will be a better marker than the Warrington game, and it's to our advantage to play this match in cooler temperatures than some teams will do.

Think he'll go with the same squad, O'Carroll for Whiting/Turner if fit. Thoughts?

Has to be O'Carroll for Turner. It was a waste having him on the bench yesterday, but I can understand why he didn't get on.

Agree with the previous post. Whiting looked really good when he was on yesterday, he made some big hits and came out of the line and stopped some dangerous looking Warrington plays. I was really suprised he had such brief spells. O'carroll for Turner for me. If Martin is carrying an injury then we all know Whiting can cover.

What the others said, providing we have no more injuries. McKinnon didn't seem quite right the last 10 minutes although he could have been just knackered.

Unless injuries strike I'd go with the same squad that played Warrington, barring O'Carroll for Turner if fit.

I didn't get to the Warrington game, sunday's are a bit of a clash for me, but it sounded like Aspinwall and Whiting played well so with Moa, O'Carroll, Aspinwall and Whiting on the bench it should give us some good impact.

As pointed out, the fact that we're playing them in fairly good conditions should benefit us, but I think that we really need to push the flanks because of their current injury problems. All recognised Wingers are injured.

Hopefully we can maintain the spirit and performance from the Warrington game and build on it in this game.


Is anyone gonna be going to this match? I won't be but I wouldn't mind going one day.

I cant find it now but I had read somewhere that Seymour hadn't been ruled out for this trip but it will probably be unlikely, O Carroll more likely to be fit though. This will be tough game again but they do have a few injuries and its a great time to play them from the teams point of view but not the fans.

1st one we've missed and we're gutted not to be going, but it's too early in the season for us to justify spending money on a fixture we normally use as one of our holidays. If not the main one.

Only change for me (injuries permitting) O'Carroll for Turner.

Have they got any other injuries? Think they had Blanch, Stacul, Vaccari, Mounis out last week, and Pryce who's meant to be back this weekend.

O'Carroll in for Turner, fresher forwards for the big French pack. Will be tough match, Dureau is a great player and they play with good pace. A lot of teams will travel there and come away with nothing, I'm hopeful we can improve again and come away with the points.

Potter said Catalans were just too strong through the middle for them - need a big performance from our pack.

No I read it on twitter I think on either Clarky's or Smailes' but it has either been deleted or I read it wrong but I swear it said Seymour wasn't ruling himself out.
