Sounds like Sa and Talanoa could return, so a few choices for Radford in the context of a challenging run of fixtures coming up and probably a wish to rotate the squad a bit. Big choices are:
Full back - Shaul or Rankin. Nothing in it for me, bring different qualities.
Centre - Sa back in. Drop Whiting, Yeaman, Michaels?
Wing - Talanoa back for Michaels? Is Naughton fit yet - not heard anything
Bench - starting pack picks itself if fit. Feka, Green, Thompson, Whiting?

Unsure what tactics we'll go for but in the heat would imagine four forwards on the bench makes sense.

Sounds about right mrs b

A number of us Could be screwed, air traffic strikes starting Monday and 24 hour Spanish strike on Thursday!

According to LR, Naughton should be fit for Catalans.

Hmmm..awkward then as he said shirt was Naughton's to lose then the Flying Pig is scoring tries for fun. Plus Talanoa was MOM in the derby. Maybe he'll go:

Rankin/Shaul
Lineham
Talanoa
Sa
Naughton
Pryce
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Minichiello
Westerman

Green
Feka
Thompson
Whiting

Some tough selection choices. Long may that continue.

... 2 hours in the morning, and 2 hours in the afternoon.

Don't think you can drop Yeaman after his last two games.

I agree. He's certainly upped his game lately.

A free pass? Whilst I have been very critical of Yeamsn this season, his last two performances have been very good and doesn't deserve dropping.

I wouldn't drop Micheals either,

I really can't decide on Shaul or Rankin, both players last two games have been hot and cold, I think I'd go with Shaul as he is our future FB.

Shaul
Micheals
Yeaman
Talanoa
Lineham
Pryce
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Mini
Ellis
Westy

Green
Thompson
Feka
Whiting

I think the free pass relates to Yeamans poor early season form - whilst he has earned his place for Catalans I think it was questionable how some players lost their place because of form and he never.

While the forwards pick themselves injury permitting I would go with:

Shaul
Lineham
Sa
Yeaman
Talanoa

Like the rest of the squad Michaels form is improving and I thought he showed some really good signs against Widnes but Catalans are a big side in the backs and a more physical approach will be needed.
