I would think Catalan will play Mead at fullback and Falou back to the centre.

Unless we get a response then safe to say something is afoot and it's not 12 inch.
A bit of a defining performance, the like of which we are regular viewers. Hoping for the best as usual and not shocked to see the worst, as usual.
Up the Trin

Now that we have more info, I’d line up like this:

1.Walker/Hampshire
2.Croft
3.Atkins
4.Batchelor
5.Tupou
6.Miller
7.Jowitt
8.Fifita
9.K.Wood
10.Kopczak
11.Ashurst
12.Pitts
13.Arona

14.J.Wood
15.Crowther
16.Navarette
17.G.King/Green

Good idea to put Crowther as Sub hooker though not the finished article .J Wood not doing a lot for me.Plus he can drop into second row if needed

You have got to be kidding me? Josh Wood was the only player worth being on the pitch for me last week for us, only one that seemed to show any effort to get us on the front foot and he was probably the best player on the pitch against Wigan when he come on, dislodging the ball on 3 occasions with his defence.

is Bailey available to play?

Agree with this apart from him and navarette wouldn’t have paid rest in buttons

I agree but, he's far more of a defensive player than say, Kyle Wood.
The ginger one tackles really tough and it's fair to say that we will need some of that at the weekend.

The three quarters is a major worry.

I’m getting on in years, so sometimes memories play up. Am I right in thinking, last time we played a CCup tie at Huddersfield, we beat Huddersfield and Fifita made his debut, scoring 2 trys. Perhaps the team spirit we had that night, will come through again. Onwards and upwards.

Staggering isn’t it, you wouldn’t think anyone was capable of missing the fact that Josh Wood was our stand out player - strange days.

Is Green injured or just not getting picked?

I would play Atkins in the centre against IF
Blooding one of our young players against one of the best players in the league isn’t a good idea

Is there any chance we may see jones bishop back?

I know he had a serious lung condition but not heard anything more on him for a while?

Innes Senior joins on loan to add cover for the outside backs.

what about Brad Walker ? Think that's his name, the kid we loaned to Newcastle, didn't we bring him back ?
