They're going to beat us, but some of their fans are saying they should play their U20's and they would still get through.

Hope they do.

Interesting

We know well the arrogance of some SL supporters(one is quite a regular on here) I do know that their head coach doesn't think like that but I hope some of their players do.

To be fair I think the Leeds poster was being sarcastic as after he suggested Leeds should send their under 20's he did add that would give them blank weekends in July and August.

I think he was having a dig at some posters who were suggesting them sending a weakish side.

And to be fair I did say 'some' SL supporters

Correct Fred but my post was in response to the initial post on this thread.

Is it only me that thinks we can win on Friday?

Hope they do send a weakened side. They will lose !

Yes you are.

We can give it our all and get a few lucky breaks, but in Rugby, of any code, the top FT team always beats the PT one - well nearly always and thats the magic of any cup comp.

If they send an undercooked side then we can beat them. If they hit 90% f what they're capable of then they'll batter us.

Of course, Leeds are the red-hot favourites and are a superb class act. However, Catalans were the 'form' team of SL last season, when we met them in the Cup, and they were very lucky to escape.

Live in hope - we've nothing to lose, but they have!

Not according to Dico they were n`t but then what does he know living under a bridge.

We played Catalans shortly after they beat Wigan and Wire away.

What I did think about Catalans is that we completely caught them off guard by spreading the ball out. Under Millwards branch, we still have some quality moves, and when exectued, can unlock most defences.

The pack against the French were outstanding. If we don't hold our own on Friday, Leeds will win easily.

rolling down the middle won't win us the game.

Tackling Linda ?
