I don't think there's a huge gap between any two random teams in the league you care to pluck out.

He's quality is our Keith. Not in an eye-catching way though, if you see what I mean.

Yeah he's always like that isn't he.
You just know what your going to get from him. He'll work away all day long and he was always going to be a good signing.
I really hope you can get Bosc back soon. He's a fantastic player and really makes the team tick. How long is he looking at being out for?

It's one of those that is always 2-4 weeks away. Looks like at least 4 at the moment.

Elima banned.
Wigan go into this as the favourites. Home advantage and an excellent run of form compared to a dismal start by Les Catalans and off field issues that have seemed to unsettle the Catalan players. However in Super League anything can happen and Wigan have been notorious to play fantastic one week and awful the next. Although that was under the Noble regime. I expect Wigan to win this one, but I never go into a game 100% confident of a win.
Hope a few of you can get down and watch (hopefully) a great game of Rugby League.

| Saturday night took alot out of us some of the players dropped to the floor when the final hooter went, saying that our fitness levels are massive this year and i know for sure our players will be going out all guns blazing not expecting a walkover.
Looking forward to the game and safe journey over to any fans making the long trip

| Quote: winnyason "Walloped at home another player sent off, i have to say i had reservations after last years wet sail job to make finals a couple of things to note.
*The dramas at leeds pub and arrest is affecting players.
*The team is heavily reliant on bosc, if his injury is worst than 1st thought they must persist with young barthau.
*They will struggle to make 8, the way i see it, walters must blood more talent if this is the case, kane bentley needs more game time a class number 9.
*Walters seems to put any aussie who has played rep footy ahead of french lads, please drop bell put walker on the wing and sa in 2nd row.
*They have had 3 super years, challenge cup final, 2nd finals appearances three play off wins including a home walloping of warrington, a slide is on the cards.
* Will the dropping of gussiet cause internal unrest at catalans.
*They will again struggle at wigan, walters needs to persist with young barthau.
*I expect a 10th or 11th finish, sides have caught up.'"
why do you think we need to persist with an inexperienced, young halfback?
as we are i think we need to see casey move back to 7 with kane at 9, if were struggling i think we should forget about blooding barthau, the lad doesnt need the extra responsibility, when form improves by all means play him, but right now we need our experienced heads pulling the side around

Good call Marv, but doesn't look like happening as Bentley has been told to train with St Esteve!

| Hi all!
I think Marv has made some good points, especially about Kane. He and his brother are good players but don't seem to get their chance. I spoke to them at the St Helens match and they both still train with the Dragons but turn out for St Estève. Walker and Johnson look good though.
About the Elima red card, I had a look at the Warrington v Wigan match on the Super League Show and I saw a real red card. Morleys hit on Hansen was Illegall, no attempt to tackle, just ran at him with a high arm and hit him with the shoulder upper arm, at Hanson's head. Yet no ban. As one of the other guys on the BBC forums said "Morley plays for the wire, Elima only plays for Catalans - easy as that" I think Olivier has been hard done by.

Can't agree. He got off lightly with one match IMO

I didnt think either was illegal myself, i feel both challenges were shoulder to the body and fully commited, like bailey on fa'asavalu last time round i just feel that because of the heads anatomically close location to the shoulder sometimes these challenges look bad but to penalise them is making the game soft.
