I think having fa'alogo ,fergy and gilly in the back row will improve the team significantly. the y enhance our ability to spot dureau and henderson etc

Good call, but Gilly has been excellent in the centres recently too...

Who do you think will be dropping out?

horne and cudjoe or lawrence, i'd say bruno as leroy seems to be a favourite

never!!!! - drop the best defensive centre we have - in fact one of the best defenders we have? are you mad?
going by the 19 and the positions they play think horne and kirmond will miss out - we need leroy in case of injuries to grix, brown, or robbo

I must be crazy!!! If I'm right, please do apologise on this thread about me being mad. It's just an opinion, and everyone has one.

for what its worth I think the team will be....

Grix
McGilvary
Cudjoe
Wardle
Hodgson

Brown
Robinson

Griffin
Lunt
Crabtree
Ferguson
Gilmour
Fa'alogo

Faiumu
Kirmond
Patrick
Mason

sorry mable, dont mean it in a personal way! but Bruno comes inside so much to take the heat off brown in defence, if we leave brown and hodgson (if he plays) without bruno defending that side then catalan will exploit it without a doubt

another option is to play horne off the bench so that he can play at 9 and LF - to allow fooey time at LF where he can perhaps capitilise on the lack of mobility of the cats pack.

Can't see Wardle making it after Wakey. He has tons of potential, but experience is needed against Catalans. Horne or Kirmond the other to drop out.

By the way, just my opinion.

Exactly my take on it !! we dont really need Horne or Kirmond this week as we are ok for 2nd rowers, we do however need cover for the backs and halves !
