| Gidley / Sandow is the form half-back partnership in SL and cannot be broken now. Russel is proving an invaluable metre-maker at FB and can't be shifted either. For me, Ratchford should start on the bench, as his broken-field running style would prosper more later in the game when Cats big forwards are tiring. Only other possibility, if Clarke and Dwyer are both playing, is to take over Atkins slot at centre. Evans is now the better centre and needs a prolonged run. For all that Atkins scored two last Friday, he was shaky in defence, gave away a try when he failed to catch the kick that Liu scored from, and made the stupid shoulder charge on O'Brien that could have cost us in the second half.

Put someone who is a poor passer at hooker. Great Idea.

| From last weeks 17 - Ratchford on the bench sitting in wheelers seat. Alternatilely start Ratchford at 9 but use 3 pivots.

| Ok, so Ratchford is woeful defensively at full back. Cant believe anyone is suggesting that. Russell hasn't done anything wrong to warrant being shifted. Gidley has to be back in at 6. If it aint broke, don't fix it!! As for the Ratch debate. If he starts, it has to be at centre, for Atkins. However we all know this wont happen though after him being bobbins but scoring two tries. R.Evans has been great defensively, but, for me, offers nothing in attack. So id go Ratch for Evans.

When he got the ball in some space in the Leigh friendly Evans showed just what he can do in attack. Defensively he is way ahead of Atkins. Atkins/Ratchford partnership at centre looks like a revolving door for the big Catalan side to me.

| Gidley has plenty of experience playing at 9 and could easily move there to spell Dwyer. He would still be in the middle dictating and defending so I don't think we would lose anything. Ratchford would then move to 6.

| I'd drop Rhys and play Ratchford there. I don't get the whole hype with evans, he never does anything spectacular and doesn't do anything more then what Atkins does. But everyone bags Atkins and never says anything bad about Rhys? So either way drop Evans or Atkins and throw Ratchford in the centres for me.

Ratchford and Atkins is a very dodgy defensive combination.

| Ratch on the bench for wheeler. Clark in if fit.
As cats are a big team we need at least Dodds and Cox on the bench and possibly King.
If Dwyer has to drop out then ok, but it's a tough call.

| For me, Ratch on the bench. His problem is that although he is a very good player, is he actually better than anyone we already have in set positions? I'm not convinced.

| If Clark is unfit then it is Gidley at #9 & Ratchford at #6.
If Clark is OK . Ratchford on the bench. Dwyer to miss out.
