Weather forecast wasn't great which will keep it cool but don't think rain will favour us TBH. Tough game and we'll have to be good to win but I think we can

I though you meant a balding fat one ....

Bentham?

whilst winning the cup game would be great, top 8 is more a priority for most fans.

I think it will have a similar feel to the widnes game this one, blistering start from les cats and then a bit of a fightback from you guys. That's happened quite a lot this year down in perps and i expect it again.

I think if widnes scored again at 12 nil you would of lost that game IMO, but just about hung in (that excellent try saving tackle from micheals i think) and then bossed the rest of the game. I just can't see you getting away with such a slow start again.

2 scores in it after 25/30 mins, then you will win. More then that, i fear catalans will get a bit of a roll on and prove to much. There outside backs are decent enough to score points, so your forwards have a huge job today compared to playing against us and widnes.

Looking forward to it!

I agree, but this comment does demonstrate a change in attitude (not just by you Jake, but in general) of most fans over recent weeks.

It proves what a few wins can do for confidence not just for the players but the fans and entire club.

A few weeks ago this would have been a hammering waiting to happen.

Long may it continue, and I am optimistic about todays game too.

My opinion is a reflection on the way we're playing not particularly that we're winning. When we lost to saints I felt a lot better about the performance than the win over salford for instance. The fact we were poor and still only lost to the champions on goal kicks was a good indicator of the improvements we've made. overall, the standard of play in the comp currently is pretty average IMO so if we can keep playing at the current level then I don't think we need to fear anyone. Similarly, a slight dip in form could easily see us losing to wakey.

I thought that the game last night, whilst tough and competitive, was a really low quality game, particularly when you compare them to games 5 or 10 years ago. The standards have really slipped but that gives everyone an opportunity.

Despite what people think, I'm not negative for the sake of it, I just tell it as I see it and up until a few weeks ago it wasn't really very good

It will be tough as they have only lost once at home this season but we could well be the second. Whatever the result I'm always nervous about picking up injuries against them and now is not the time to be losing key players.

I agree with all of it.

I wanted to see the back of Radford early doors, and a lot of that was the style of rugby although the defeat at home to KR was about as bad as I've seen in recent years (that and losing 7-0 to Widnes at home)

I guess it's all the highs and lows of being a fan, some will stay positive regardless (IAKOW) and some other (me) vent their spleen.

Actually I would suggest you enjoy the good times more after you have had a right good moan about the bad times!!

I'm not expecting a win tonight tbh , it's a hard place to go and as has been said only 1 loss all season says it all . I wouldn't be shock if we were to turn them over either if we get off to a good start , seen a few pics and it looks like the fans have turned in numbers too .... Coyh

Widnes had only lost once at home this season too....

True but I think cats away is a bit tougher

I personally wouldn't pick Rankin over Shaul .
Shaul offers much more in attack and links well off the shoulder of our forwards .

Can you just remind us how Rankin scored his try yesterday.
