with our form i would suggest that we beat these but loose to crusaders later we seem to really pick it up for tougher oposition which CATALANS can now be seen as, unlike earlier in the season

if we put a side out that is something like this then i think we should be strong enough to win

Grix
Hodgson
Lawrence
Cudjoe
Mcgillivary
Brown
Robinson
Griffin
Lunt
Crabtree
Gilmour
Faalogo
Ferguson

Mason
Patrick
Faiumu
Kirmond/Raleigh/Horne

thats the team i would like to see out there, with either kirmond or horne so they can cover LF, faiumu switching from 9 and 13, i think fooey does more damage at LF rather than dummy half.

bored of wardle already then?

No not at all but the other outside backs all have that bit more experience.
Cudjoe had started to play well at centre and Lawrence has been consistant all year. Mcgillivary has earned his place and Hodgson is in good form and his opportunism for tries is what is needed as less chances will probably be created without Brough so when they do come along they need to be finished.

My squad

Cudjoe
McGillvary
Wardle
Lawrence
Hodgson
Brown
Grix
Mason
Lunt
Griffin
Gilmour
Fa'alogo
Faiumu

Bench
Raleigh
Crabtree
Patrick
Robinson

As usual picked a big side to play against a big opposition

I would not put Leroy at fb against dureaus kicking. But grix is good at half back, could swap them two round between 1 and 7 for attack and defense.

so its back to brown robinson partnership...

with faiumu lunt interchange at hooker... unless lunt does 80 mins

Nice to see ferguson back in the squad.

Not sure whether any of you watch our game on the net against Catalans on Saturday ? They weren't as impressive as they have been in the weeks before. We coped with them fairly well and the result didn't really show how much we tested them. The likes of Scott Dureau and Greenshields were brilliant again, as they always are. Should be a real tough game for you guys, but this are the one's you need to win if you want to go places, I suppose. Best of luck. Should be a great game. Hopefully no mix up in the kits, eh ? LOL
