I know there is a lot of chat on here about the season not starting till Sept bla bla bla, but to me this is a really big game tonight. A convincing win could really get the confidence going and really help us to feel comfortable at home this season. With a loss going the other way.

Royce should have put out what he thought was his best side available tonight. Not really sure if he has done this but we will see.

I sincerely hope so.

We need to as we would lose heavily if we play like we have recently.

Catalans look really good and if Leon clicks, he'll blow us away.

Meli and Dixon miss out

SP,
That bench looks very lightweight. Do you think it's Simmonds intention to try and run their big blokes around?

I doubt he even has a game plan.

He's still got his 4 props in laffranchci, LMS, tp and clough. I'm disappointed he's gone with flannery, he's been very poor this year and don't look interested at all.

Problem being that 3 of those props are converted backrowers. It is quite light, hopefully we'll have better fitness

From what I can gather we are using the same tactics we've used for first 3 games of the season, hope roby pulls something out the bag.

It was never a problem fro Peacock or Morley. Clough and TP are every inch a prop, the only one I had my doubts about at the beginning was the new signing Laffranchi, who's actually faring very favourably in the stats.

I liked Perry when he played last year and was encouraged by a very impressive performace against widnes, but he's the only one of our 5 props to be averagin less than 7 metres per carry.

I wouldn't like to see Andrew Dixon miss out, considering how much threat he's brough out wide.
