Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "On the subject of Catalans. I do agree to an extent with Jean that a snowy January in Hull isnt the best place to gauge how your season will go, however. That was effectively their best team against a Hull side missing Shaul and pretty much the entire pack. Taylor, Watts, Bowden, Green, Manu and Minichiello all sat it out and yet they couldnt make any inroads. Hull just strolled through in second gear. It wasnt a good sign if you are a Catalans fan.'"

No it wasn't Catalans' best team. The team was missing star forwards Michael McIlorum, Louis Anderson, and Thibaud Margalet who were not yet fit enough to play.
This would have been the first time David Mead has played in snow.
