| Do we give ourselves any chance of finally breaking the Headingley Hoodoo? The squad picks itself really - same 19 as last week.
Live on Sky so I won't have to fork out money to see it. Woo!

| No ban for Fef after his charge of use of a knee on Rhys Lovegrove (Where My Rosemary Goes), but he did cop a £300 fine.

In full then: Pryce, Sa, StacAttack, Bosc, Dureau, Fef, Ian Hendo Henderson, Casty, Sir Steve Menzies Campbell, LAndo Calrissian, The Traffic Warden, Millard, Simon, JaJa, Paea, Baitieri, Duport, Fisher and Cardace.

| Bookies are giving you 6 start on Friday.
I think that is a good bet and would think you would win without the 6 tbh.
Safe journey to those travelling .

| For some reason all the confidence I have built up from previous results is evaporating at the thought of this encounter...

| Not been great so far. 16-6 down at the break. Inability to retain the ball and not give away daft penalties the side's downfall. It's going to take some turnaround to break the hex.

51841_1278691590.jpg Sorry for my bad english, i'm a catalan!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_51841.jpg |

| Weird game, Leeds was very strong in defence tonight, we aren't good but aren't bad too. Stacul just came back from a long time injury, he wasn't at his best on the wing. Cardace need experience on the wing, especially in defence (position and kicks).
Why all the English fans are booing Pryce ? Is he considered as a traitor ? ![Sad icon_sad.gif](images/smilies//icon_sad.gif) Leon is pure class

| Disappointing result, but Leeds put in a very good shift and deserved the win.

It's Leon's cheap-shot past. I personally have never liked him since he snuck up behind Sir Kevin and punched him with no warning at Valley Parade in a Challenge Cup game many years ago.

best team won by a mile against a badly organised Catalans outfit
badly organised why ?
Cardace lacks experience at this level and should never have been put in the squad against such a quality team - a similar nightmare perfromance dogged William Barthau a couple of years ago which dented his confidence
Why was player of the season Baitieri relegated to the bench with Sa looking a dogs dinner at LF ? Sa has excelled at Centre and was needed there against the likes of the superb BJB & Hall
the forwards lacked discipline again with needless offloads by Paea a Fakir and Stacul looked out of his depth coming back from injury
No criticism of Fisher who has done well but Pelissier has to be the better option and offers more zip which was sadly lacking
Losing Clint & Thomas exposed us big time but well done Rhinos against a sterile opposition - a thoroughly professional job

| Catalans had 8 injured for Leeds match[iGreenshields,
Bosc, Blanch, Baile, Vaccari
Mounis,
Ferriol, Pelissier[/i
Also, Millard is more effective at centre.
So what chance do Catalans have to beat Leeds with with so many injuries, especially weak wings ? Stacul mistake in dropping the Sinfield kick gives Leeds a soft try. ![Embarassed icon_surprised.gifops:](images/smilies//icon_redface.gif) Cardace knocked on a Leeds high kick earlier also.
Just having Bosc, Blanch, Greenshields and Pelissier in the team, with Millard at centre, would have changed almost everything in this game.
Plus Menzies dropped the ball twice in attack, once when he was almost through Leeds defence and had a supporter running on inside. Very unusual mistakes by Menzies. If Menzies passes the ball to support then Catalans 12-12. Instead soon after the Menzies mistake Leeds scores a try.
