should be a cracker.

We have been renowned as slow starters over the years but the first few matches this season wont afford us that luxury.

Way too early to be a finals footy indicator but would be nice to mug them away again.

Let's get Daryl Millard on the bench just to keep them honest after the buzzer.

Can't call it tbh. Probably lean towards Saints, just, but likely to be the first of a thrilling series of several games this season

Meanwhile, in Toulouse. For their first SL game, TO go with:

Vaivai, Marcon, Albert, Navarrete, White, Dixon, Peyroux, Marion, Pelissier, Puech, Bretherton, Paulo, Garbutt, Cunningham, Bergal, Hankinson, Sangare, Armitage, Russell, Gigot, Stefani.

Go on Tone !!!

The Udders:

Pryce, Wardle, Lolohea, Fages, Hill, Levi, Jones, McQueen, Yates, English, Greenwood, Trout, Ikahihifo, O'Brien, Roberts, Cudjoe, L Senior, Russell, I Senior, Ashworth, Ashall-Bolt

Awful, awful debut from Napa. Wasn’t impressed with any of the new recruits actually. It can only get better…

Sin bin in the first minute doesn't set much of a tone

Wasnt impressed with Cats style for the firtst 10 mins whilst they had a player in the bin, very negative play, Catalans need to play to their strengths and play positive, and slowing the play down as well is something that back fires in the end.

Napa likely to spend as much time in the stands than on the field if he carries on tackling like that.

Interesting to see this about the kid in Dragons gear getting abuse. Well, interesting not the right word, but you know what I mean hopefully.
The stories from them first couple of seasons.... We got moved at Wakey for our own safety. At Salford, got told by someone that they "hope our plane home crashes". etc

Never really heard stuff like this, obvs we've been together at games as well in french gear.

Still, gurantee s surface with e like that.

I remember we were at Leeds and it was on SKY once and Bill Arthur showed us on SKY and said " A small contingent over from France I see".... I mean I was stood chatting to him the week before at Hewarth......lol

You fear for TO already

Napa and Dudson up before the beak today. Expect both to get bans.

Bousquet broken a bone in his arm. Suddenly, we're very light up front
