| Good on the club for getting a squad together for this. Realistically if Catalans are on form they should win with plenty to spare. Hopefully certain posters wil bear that in mind before they hit the 'Submit' button.
Gets the suspensions for Savelio, Johnstone and Wynne out of the way, of course.

Its likely to be around 30 degrees in Perpignan at kick off time so have to question does playing this game with such a makeshift squad to get Savelio back actually benefit us at all .
If we were going to cancel a game it should be this one

Its about fulfilling our obligations to get fixtures played. Its not a game I'd be expecting to win currently anyway so might as well get it done and have as many players available for the derby as possible.
We've been cleared to play and can legitimately assemble a squad so unless we want a 24-0 walkover awarded against us then we presumably have to play.
FWIW it seems the club have done everything they can to get the game on rather than cynically trying to play the system which should be lauded.

I’ve watched him a few times EY, against Lancashire he was all but running the show, but he made a couple of errors not finding touch from penalties, very busy all match, not outstanding but noticeable. It’s good to finally see these lads coming through.

| IMO lots of positive things to play this. Get our games played up. Taylor match time. 3 players banned to end. Give youngsters game time. I really hope the usual suspects bear the weakness of our squad before having a go at the lads.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

| Our season starts against Rovers, should have almost a fully fit squad, fresh legs, and no excuses not to make the playoffs.
I think we l do it starting with a win vs rovers, I also think we l beat Wigan at home.

Not unless the Covid rules change.

| Well the only thing I’ve said to myself is ‘stranger things have happened’. Though having not played well against St’s I’m pretty sure they’ll be out to make amends.
The problem is the club is damned if they do and famed if they don’t and have done all they can to keep the integrity of the sport rather than play the game so to speak. Whether that’s stands us in good stead moving forward or bites us time will tell.
I imagine its a calculated risk in terms of where we are, trying to get a game under our belts heading in to the derby and freeing up 3 players ending their suspensions.

No one is going to have a go at the team given the circumstances but its a long way to go to give Taylor 15 or 20 minutes game time which is all he will do in the heat and humidity in Perpignan on Friday.
Savelio is the only important player of the three banned.
I just think trying to play this game before the Derby when half the team is missing anyway does little to help the team or the club
The club is short of money yet is prepared to pay £15000/£20000 for a chartered aircraft.Doesnt make sense.
We all have to be realistic and expect to see effort but could be on the wrong end of a heavy defeat even worse than cancelling the game for a 24/0 loss
Thats my point

I get your point and in fact as the Saints game started to go majorly tits up I said that in retrospect we should just have said we couldn't raise a team. The fault lies with Super League with the ridiculously lenient 0-24 walkover penalty.
It should be a points deduction and at the very least a 0-50 'scoreline'. It should never be preferable to accept a default loss than to make the effort and play a game.
