that team is more than good enough to beat catalans at home worry not

If we had everyone fit we would not be in this position, unfortunately in a sport where everything is contact and high impact injuries, not everyone can have a career until they are in their mid thirties, I think that we have seen the last of the likes of Ablett, JJB, Ward and Crosby, it's irrespective how good they are, players can be world class but if their bodies and minds cannot hold up then for the sake of the players long term health they should retire and walk away with their health. It's a shame but not everyone can play into their mid thirties.

Yeah you would hope so.

As Gotcha said somewhere else though, Catalans are a physical side and with our over-the-hill-veterans and underdeveloped youngsters, we could get rolled a bit.

We definitely have the quality to bring this one home but we must match them and kick well for once.

That's the exact 17 I picked on the Leeds Facebook group. We all know that golden child we get the second row gig though!

You just never know which Catalans team will turn up unfortunately but with the way our season has gone we will probably get the good version.

McNamara hates Leeds from his playing days and the likes of Tomkins and McIlorum love to beat us too. Don't expect a walk-over, the 'good' Catalans will turn up!

Lui and Lunt both come in with no gremlins in their heads which should have a positive effect on the team.

Talk on the Catalans board that if they lose, McNamara may be on his way... Let's see how much their players want to keep him. I certainly don't want him at Leeds.

Indeed. McNamara would be a truly dismal appointment. Probably on the cards then.

If Sutcliffe doesn't start who'll be goalkicker?

Depends if you go with team above. Smith is a better goal kicker anyway. Or if he’s not in, then would assume Myler.
