I'd take an ugly win away to Catalans this weekend to be honest. Will have to play our best rugby of the season so far to compete I reckon.

Halsall has looked better than Hanley in his limited opportunities. I'd look at giving him gametime as a priority rather than Hanley, which of course has the added benefit of not moving Hardaker away from his best position. Even now Hanley is 16th in the league for errors despite not even playing in half of the games.

I would also be ok with Halsall getting a run in his position at centre with Zak fb. Just think we need see where we are at with um? When Gildart came in it was apparent to me very quickly he was the real deal and basically he has held a spot down since. Not saying Halsall is going to be as successful but we need see if he is going to be good enough.

Yeah I felt like we missed a bit of an opportunity to do that in the Leigh and Salford games to be honest.

I’d take an ugly win for sure but I’m afraid it’s likely to be an ugly loss

We don’t win anything but Ugly but I doubt it’ll be that good sadly.

Hanlley Leuluai and Smithies back in and starting, Farrell back to centre

Quite fancy our chances but we'll need our best performance of the season. By a mile.

That niggly petulance from Smithies I’ve not missed.

Smithies is an absolute liability

There is a lot wrong with the first 20 mins but nothing we haven’t seen in the previous 7 games.

All too easy for the Catalans forwards so far.

Hope it doesn’t get too one sided.

We are looking pretty clueless, outplayed in all departments so far. Not sure how or who can change this game for us.

Yep, not in the game at all and some flaky defence and kick defence.

Doesn’t help when Hastings I think for the fourth time gets tackled prior to the last play. Every little detail about us with the ball is so far off it’s disgraceful. Are all the pictures of our players training with with the ball staged for Twitter and then they all head in just to have a fight in ‘the pit’ or what?
