especially with his five man pack.

Exactly, the starting team should still be strong enough to handle Catalan's big forwards but I'm not sure about the bench. The use of the substitutes could be vital next week if it's scorching hot. Personally, I'd like to see Solomona start on the bench as I think he's much more effective as an impact player when the opposition's defence is tiring.

I'd go with that - Blythe not ideal in the 2nd row, but at least we still have some quality on the bench that way.

Bridge

Joel
Atkins
Blythe
Williams

Briers
Myler

Wood
Monaghan
Carvell
King
Harrison
Anderson

Solomona
Cooper
McCarthy
Clarke

Like that idea of King in the 2nd row, especially with the perceived weakness of Blythe in that position

Makes you realise how good Saints are really. They had half their first team in the stand on friday.
Catalan got battered on friday by Hull and we scored for fun without the 4 that will be missing next week, too many twitchy bums here people. Get to france and sing your hearts out.

Ben Cross has a broken arm as well. I can honestly say that I am absolutely gutted about this injury, even moreso that the Westwood one.

Still got enough strength to manage a win on Saturday should the four injured players not feature, particularly if we welcome Briers back into the fold.

Agreed.

Win on Saturday and then the injuries have 3 weeks to heal, which might bring Grix & Hodgson back into the selection equation.

It's upto the younger blokes like McCarthy or whoever gets the nod on Saturday to front up to their big, physical pack. If we get field position, we'll score points, that's what we do.

Without a doubt.

Even with a depleted squad yesterday and no subs, we were devastating with the ball at times. We'll certainly be able to rack up points against them. Just need Carvell to continue requiring four defenders at a time as per, plus when you think we have Harrison, Woody, Cooper, Solomona, McCarthy and Anderson with the option of King in the second row, there is sufficient power there to set a platform.

Catalan's defence hasn't been strong lately am sure we have a enough to rack up some points on them.
