I thought we'd lose at Wigan but think we'll beat Catalans.
Here's hoping.

I cannot see anything but a FC win
I really can’t because if we lose then Radfords our

There’s my prediction

That’s why I’m convinced we will win UNLESS the players want rid of him

The pack we put on the park at Wigan was never going to give us the win. Will wait for the team news before a final selection this week but currently am with you with your prediction.

Just have a sneaking feeling that Catalans will make top 5 this year although like many others I have been caught out in previous years by looking at their squad and thinking they appear good enough for a top5 finish.

For me this is a "Really, really need to win" game, which is getting near to a "must win" one. To go 1 -2 at home this early in the season would really ramp up the pressure on radford and the squad and with some tricky fixtures coming up a win would give us some confidence going into those

its not a must win game, but as a home game against a team that finished outside the playoffs, and slightly below us last season, its a game we should be winning

i know a lot of folk love to hate tomkins, but i think he a tremendous player. as a fullback he seems to be a link between the old style and modern player, and he's modified his game over the years as he's got older.

Injuries have meant he lost that yard of pace he used to have, but he's still kept that ultra competitiveness he' always had. I thought he was instrumental for Wigan when they won the title in 2018. He was the best player on the pitch in the semi final. He was England's best player in the 9s competition at the end of last year and was unlucky not to be in that Great Britain team, especially when he'd been the half when we beat New Zealand the previous year.

He looked in good nick from the highlights I saw against Castleford in their last game.

Catalans Dragons coach Steve McNamara believes discipline is the key to undoing Hull FC when they travel to the KCOM Stadium this weekend......

“Statistically the KCOM Stadium is the toughest place to go. Hull FC, credit to them, were the least penalised team in the whole of 2019 by a long way.
“They have not lost a penalty count in the four games they’ve played this year. In the last four times we’ve been there we’ve lost the penalty count 36 to 21.

“We are clear in terms of how we want to play against Hull FC.”

With all this Virus stuff I’m reading from Aus I wonder if this is the last home game for a month or 3 ?

Back on topic then,
Who plays at 6 against the dragons, Kelly or Connor?
For me Kelly at 6 and put Connor in at centre in place of Fonua as he clearly isn’t fit

Shaul

Swift

Griffin

Carlos

Fonua

Albert

Sneyd

Taylor

Houghton

Bowden

Jones

Mau

Ligi

Subs
Ellis

Satae

Brown

Connor

Difficult till the squad is out, it would be an idea to use Jake as a Tommy Martin/Tony Myler type six or thirteen, just an idea to give us a bit more movement and creativity later on.
Whoops forgot Savellio, just shows what a team we have

Squad, Josh Griffin, Adam Swift, Jake Connor, Marc Sneyd, Scott Taylor, Danny Houghton, Chris Satae, Josh Jones, Manu Ma’u, Ligi Sao, Albert Kelly, Jordan Johnstone, Masi Matongo. Brad Fash, Jordan Lane, Josh Bowden, Mahe Fonua, Kieran Buchanan, Gareth Ellis
