Yep, unfortunately that's been the case for 90% of super league games so far. Hopefully some good comes out of that big meeting today

Cats look decent imo, if Nikorima is playing he’s electric from dummy half.

In fact I’m tipping them for the GF win

I'd be tempted to give TNW a spot. Very tough gig but not one to throw Holroyd into, given there's no way he can be 100% just yet

I fancy us this week but there are a few variables!

I might be tempted to bring Holroyd on off the bench but you’re right, we shouldn’t risk him for the sake of 1 week if he needs it.

Rs happy enough with squad to get a result but he said that last week...just hope we don't get whacked.

I’m guessing the main variable is keeping a full team on the pitch. Be interesting discipline wise how Catalan cope, in recent year they certainly haven’t behaved like choir boys. Might be mildly interesting at the end of the season to see which teams has most players banned, we could have a bad boys trophy award.

They've not been shy of exaggerating injury in order to attract the attention of the VR. I think we'll see a bit of that and suspect it's a 50/50 call who sees the most cards.

Big game this one, if we don't win we could easily be played 5 lost 4 with Leigh away and Saints home to come next.. and end up adrift with pressure mounting... if we had a near full strength team out at Leigh i'd fancy us but that won't be the case, fingers crossed we can scrape a win.

Thats is what i would go with if available.Give Smith a spell on the bench then bring him on a loose.I would have done this also against Hkr .

The only other potential switch might be Jack Smith to the wing, but Roberts is much more physically mature, even if Smith is (IMO) the better player/prospect.

I think Bentley and Goudemand coming off the bench gives you lots of energy. Goudemand is a really useful player.

I don't think RS got the selection right against HKR. It wasn't the right game for Donno, and not the right game to play Bentley, Donno and O'Connor together in the pack. In those conditions mass counts I'm afraid; on a dry track mobility can work better but even so, we are way too lightweight with those three playing together. Also Goudemand isn't massive, and Martin isn't the most direct back rower I've ever seen.

Yes, HKR scored 16 points as a direct result of yellow cards and during periods when Leeds were down to 12 men. Leeds scored 6 when they were down to 12. Cut this out and it's a different game for us.

Agree with all that.

Were likely to just have Lisine and Fusitua missing against saints and Leigh, it’s not that far off full strength.

Ipape missing for Leigh is huge for them also

We were actually pretty good in that first half it was simply the discipline with those two yellows that upset our rhythm.

We need to try be squeaky clean in the next few games.
