Thats what i said it shows just how strong our pack is when the quietest two from Friday were Watts and Mini.
That said i wouldnt change anything but if Radford wants to include Ellis and get some game time into him i would leave Washbrook out for this one.
Danny Houghton is perfectly capable of 80 mins.

So basically what I said above.

my prediction is it will be called off with a frozen pitch

For me if ellis is fit and sika misses out then it's a straight swap, this game is one we fans are not expecting to win purely on record their. If sika is fit then ellis for me waits till cas at home witch is a far more important game, that's when he would come in for green(harsh on him), and start on the bench. We can definitely win in France with that squad, the biggest loss will be shaul but with us aiming to do a smash and grab then I have a feeling he will travel, which will be great to carry on the promising start to the link up play on the left with Pritchard and Carlos. Every team needs a bit of utility and I see washbrook is too good at doing all the basics and dirty stuff right for him to miss out, so cas game more likely for ellis where I'd be tempted to do double sub and bring Pritchard and ellis on together to really punch holes in that cas defence.

What a great head ache for Radders to have If 100% fit, Ellis plays ahead of Green for me. Though I wouldn't be too downheart it we stick with the same pack as Friday.

F**k this not winning malarkey - Payback for them beating us at the KC last game of last season - we need to win as Catalan are one of the teams who want to break into that illusive top four like ourselves

Well said Seb we should be going all guns blazing and I think we will, we have plenty of beef to take it to them we should fear no one.

Don't forget halibut screwed us last year with a good try ruled out

Hope radford reminds the players of that too!

If Manu fit then Ellis in for Green. Washy proved his worth last week by doing a half decent job in the centre. Priceless for a coach to have a flexible option like that - used to be Rich Whiting.

Whiting always did an excellent job but I know what you mean, we have certainly kicked on. Our squad depth is so good. So much so that people have compared it our 2006 squad.... I have watched a couple of our games from that season and what reminded me of our current squad is the line speed which is very fast and aggressive. We should definitely be going for a win and revenge is a good motive

My point about the winning is from fans. As players you go into every game wanting and believing you can win and I hope radford reminds them too. That's why you have a game plan to beat the opposition, but us fans know how difficult it is to win in France and many of us do think we won't/expect to win, it doesn't mean we don't think we can as I certainly think we can. It will be our acid test and will set a marker down and that alone is motivation, but if sika is fit then I don't see it important enough not to give ellis another couple of weeks especially when our forwards performed as well as they did. It is a great situation to be in, and if we do pull of a great win what a massive boost of confidence going into cas at home.
