Hopefully Hoy is fully fit for Saturday, still not sure about Lovodua in the 2nd row that said we don't have many options (though I think Scott could well make a decent S/R in the future).

Think this game is a bigger test than the St's game as Le Cats are not just big down the middle but strong on the edges too. We certainly need to start off with the same level of desire and intensity as we did against St's to try & stop them getting on a roll by not giving them any time and frustrating them. Leigh showed they can be got at so hopefully TS has seen some weaknesses that he can get the team to target.

Just hope we can back up the effort level win or lose.

Part of my comment after the match was

The team needs to start working on faster play the balls which seems to me to be the reason they are on the wrong end of six again calls.

If you find Smiths after match interview on Radio Humberside he does actually say its something they are going to be working on.

Something to watch out for on Sunday against HKR

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that part of our up turn in form and results has also seen us play with a greater intensity and line speed both with and without the ball. Catalan came with a game plan to slow the game down on every aspect which unfortunately Moore allowed. We were also guilty of getting sucked into the slow speed instead of being the ones dictating the speed of the game. I said at half time Catalan clearly didn’t want a quick game.

Especially when we are playing with four small forwards who are easily tackled by the opposition and dictated whilst on the floor so to get anything from the referees on six agains they have to fight to play the ball quickly which we need to be doing at every play the ball.
Think there will be a marked improvement here on Saturday

Sunday as you point out
