| I don't know if Singleton is still injured, he seemed to lose a lot of form through last year for some reason.
If he's popular in the squad I can see him being retained as a rotation prop, but for me although he is tough, he lacks the quality we need.
What we lack IMO is a Fifita type bruiser who has real presence in the middle and can also create something.
One of the intriguing aspects of this year actually is that Wakey look bang out of form now at the wrong time of year...
Catalans is an unpredictable fixture, they will be hurting and seeing Leeds as a good opportunity to get back on track.
We also struggle with the most physical sides (even if they're in the Championship...).
I'd have to tip us to win this one though because the urgency of the situation now can't be lost on anyone. I do think if we can snaggle Lui is will help, and it's Watkins' final game? There should be enough factors along with home advantage to get us the win, but we must start well this week and deny Catalans momentum and confidence.

| Quote: KaeruJim "The “Sutcliffe Problem” is under control finally. We tell him he’ll be playing back row and that’s it. He conditions and practises accordingly. By 2020 he’s in the mix with some talented and established back rowers and he fights for his place on merit.
Maybe their performances were due to structural changes in the team but it is interesting how several players suddenly found season-best games yesterday.
Cuthbertson is playing like a man possessed as of last 2 games, where has he been??'"
Has Cuthbo been told he's playing for the last year of his contract? or has he finally got over those niggling injuries? either way he's been outstanding recently

Your point still stands though although he was far better yesterday than at 6'"
He wasn't at loose forward, definitely not. He was out on the right, inside of Newman. It was quite funny when Sutcliffe looked at Newman in disgust telling him what he did wrong in that second half one, where Newman blew a 3 on 1 situation. Newman was wrong, but hopefully will learn to stop trying to step everyone all the time, however Sutcliffe had done the same things numerous times, and you just know every time he is going to take the ball in, instead of passing.

Absolutely - both players too greedy. Newman in particular needs to learn to play for his winger. When and if he does he’ll be dynamite.

Like a different player.
The KR game is looking very tasty indeed isn’t it? Not much extra motivation needed by either side.

Newman will learn, I think it's just he is used to being able to run on his own and make something of it which he won't be able to do all the time in first grade, Agar was spot on in his presser regarding Newman and how if he can work on that side of his game he will be Leeds centre for years to come. He's surprised me how strong he is for his size.
