Can always move Lover to hooker to spell Danny for 15/20 minutes.

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.

Hoy

It think I’d line up something like that. Risk moving Carlos position midway through season with no experience. He’s also a bit fragile nowadays so do we want him to be a battering ram?

I think to win this it’ll be all about ball movement. They’re a big side, on a shorter turn around, after a tough game.

What was up with Swift?
Can see us giving Hoy another week or so with his hamstring

So Swift and Hoy back in contention for Saturday but Sutcliffe not risked

Hoy
Swift
Scott
Carlos

Lane/Lovodua
Cator

Satae
Brown
Lovodua/Lane
McNamara

Litten in for Hoy or Swift if one of them isn't risked, if both not risked then Shaul at FB and Litten on the wing

looking forward to this match.It should indicate just how far we have progressed against a really physical Cats team with two of the best wings in S/L.
Shaul seems to have impressed Smith so expect he will be involved somewhere even if Hoy does make it

Just watched the saints game, didn't think Lovodua, Shaul or Litten had good games, all three seemed to make too many errors, so Swift comes in for Litten, Hoy for Shaul.

I'd go with

Hoy
Swift
Scott
Carlos
Mcintosh
Trueman
Clifford
Sao
Houghton
Fash
Savelio
Lane
Cator

Brown
Satae
Lovodua (I'd personally have Staverley)
McNamara

Swift would have scored the two tries that Litten had chalked off. He has to come back in, Litten will get another chance before too long.

Havnt the last 7 matches in which we have beaten Wigan Wires and St Helens indicated how far we have progressed? Or you just waiting for a loss to have a go?

got your Griffin head on again

I see our resident moaner has a new hobby. If you disagree with him you're now a Griffin. Well I'd sooner be a Griffin than a moaner any day of the week. Time he was put on ignore I think.

This team for me, if Hoy isn’t risked Davy has to play for me

Maybe TS will finally listen to you and squeeze Shaull in at hooker. Hoping for a win, at least you’ll be in self imposed exile for a few days. I thought you rated Griffin in the second row, you’re now using his name as an insult. You really do show yourself up at times.

Strong team from Catalans. Only seem to be missing Pearce
