Elsewhere, not a lot of upsets, unless you count Fev losing at the hated rivals.

Seen the highlights. No issue with the red card at all.

Wakey away... I can feel it in my water.

First tie out: York at home

Damn - if only Toulouse had beaten them!

Interesting to see what sort of side gets put out. Some of the senior side could use a rest, there's the injured contingent who aren't going to play and the reserves are coming off a Grand Final defeat.
We should have enough for a very hit-and-miss York side whatever. Hope my fellow Yorkists have a grand time.

Hey guys any idea what your squad will be like for your game against york in the cup???
And do you have an idea of the score for the game, im in a prediction comp and would like to know your ideas for your match

As I hinted above, not a clue what the side will look like. Until we get a squad list announced, I'm reluctant to call it any more specific than 'home win'.

Apart from giving the injured an extra week, I think that the time is opportune for a rest for Pryce, Casty, and Henderson.

Maybe the coach should pick this team, with some regular first choice players and some reserve team players. I don't know who is hooker for the reserve team so I left his spot empty on the interchange selection.

If this team is picked I predict Catalans to win by 40, with York scoring two tries and leading or equaling Catalans for the first 20 minutes....

Final score 52-12 (9 tries, 8 conversions, vs 2 tries, 2 conversions). Half time Catalans lead 24-12.

If we thought we were struggling, rlYork might be fetching a couple of trialists and a bunch of kidsrl.

Squad news! And it's a lot stronger than expected with Anderson and Millard back in.

Damo White, Renaissance Man, Big Zee, Tommy B Goode, Ian Hendo Henderson, Bulldozer, Mr Anderson, Greg, Billy Barthau, Maria, EEELLOOIIII, Superkev, Number 69, Mathias Not There, Big Mickey S, JaJa, Viiiiiinnnnn-ceeennnntttt Dupoooo-ooooo-ooooorrrttttt (rat ta tat ta tat), JPB, Morgan.

York are fetching:

Tom Carr, Ben Dent+, Nat Browne, Greg Minikin+, George Elliott, Simon Brown, Jonny Presley, Craig Potter, Kris Brining, Jack Aldous, Aaron Lyons, Ed Smith, Jack Iley, Harry Carter+, Austin Bell, Luke Stenchion, Joe Picketts*, Tyler Craig+, Ash Haynes*.
* - trialists
+ - U20s

They're missing their skipper James Ford as well as Sam Scott, Jack Latus, Jack Lee, Adam Sullivan, Nathan Freer, Jack Pickles, Jason Golden, Matt Nicholson and Sam Orange and all dual-reg/loan players.

If that is the situation with York, then I was being too generous to predict a 52-12 victoire. Perhaps 72-6 might be closer to the mark?
