Wasn't it against us that Catalans recorded their firstly away win in Superleague? Does history beckon again?

Can't see how...it's not SL.

We were also the first team to nill them in France

....only the only team to beat them in Spain.

Good kicking game in the first twenty, I would look to keep the ball in play as much as possible so they don't get opportunities to jog into position and then hit us with fast, powerful sets up the middle.

If they get on top, DO NOT PANIC like Saints did and concede a bucketload of tries before the break. If we are getting clobbered, then it is time to slow the game down and regroup. We will get chances and field position.

Basics, basics, basics. Complete our sets, no penalties when defending, the rest will follow

Lots of coaches on here today who didn’t quite make it professionally!

I thought for a minute that you were talking about the car park near the Halliwell Jones.

You don't really believe that you have to be a professional coach to have a valid opinion do you? We might as well all pack in

Looks like you're a little too aggressive to be a professional coach...

I have complete faith in the rugby ability of this side; it is what is between the ears that worries me. We can be really naïve at times and compound errors with errors. Watching the 2012 final back last night we had an embarrassment of riches: Hodgson, Briers, Monaghan, Higham. More nous than any side arguably even needs.

Can Ratchford, Clark, Brown provide that this year? I hope so.
