Freddie Mercury cross-bred with Albert Steptoe.

Unfortunately I think the weather might do its best to ruin this one. Looks set to chuck it down

Rovers V Cas or St's V Hudds would have bee good options with better atmospheres and saved the Wigan games for the big blockbusters.

What ever games are selected we really don't have much choice as there are only 6 games a week, why can't they show a few championship games to mix it up a bit?

Spot on

Catalans have to master the psychology of playing away with virtually no spectator support. That is the key to them making the playoffs. They certainly have the squad to win some silverware: the Duport-Inu centre combination, with Gigot at full back and with Carney in the halves, should provide some attacking flair; the Catalans pack is strong, and should challenge Wigan's forwards. The talent quality is there for Catalans, but their away mind-set is the crucial variable.

It would be nice if a few St Helens and Warrington fans would come to support Catalans, and thus give the game some decent crowd atmosphere, but I suspect that their interest in doing so is outweighed by the financial costs of doing so.

Because Championship games are of a lower standard of play, and they tend to bore viewers (except for Sheffield Eagles who have Garry Lo on the wing, and London Broncos who have Israel Eliab at five eighth).

poor trolling that, waaaay too obvious.

Gareth.

No real problem with the decision to screen wigan and Catalans. As very close runners up last time, I don't mind casting an eye over wigan second game up.

Probably the same people who put on the same game at the same time last year ?

Personally I'd be happy if they stuck with the same four or so teams each week I hate us being on tv, but hey ho we only have two or three a season to bother you with.

Salford v Saints by the way.

Worse than that, he looks...well... Australian....
