This one really is daunting.....


Still no Leon, but Lopini's back for Antoni Maria and, Pryce apart, it's about as strong as we get.


Greeny, Blanch, Sa, Tommy B Goode, Dureau, Fef, Ian Hendo Henderson, Bulldozer, Sir Steve menzies Campbell, Mr Anderson, Mounis, Traffic Warden, EEEEEEEEELLLLOIIIIIII, Millard, JaJa, Paea, Baitieri, Viiiiiiiinnnnnnnceeeeeennnnnnnttttttt Duuuuuuuuupooo-oooooor-oooorrrrtttt (rat ta tat ta tat), Cardace.



Wigan also look very strong. No McIlorum (suspended), but Lauaki's back.

Carmont, Tete de buisson Charnley, Dudson, Farrell, Fielden, Finch, Flower, Goulding, Hansen, Hock, J'Accuse, Lauaki, Leuluai, Lima, Mossop, Tete de buisson O'Loughlin, Richards, Smith, Stomkins.

Let's be confident and upbeat about this one then.

Draw we win on golden point.

Can't be THAT confident. I'm not expecting us to win, so if we do it'll be an even more pleasant outcome

Our form is pretty lousy at the minute tbh so this certainly isn't beyond Catalan. There was an improvement in defeat against Saints last week but it was far from vintage.

The pack simply isn't laying the platform for us and Tomkins looks very wobbly at the back.

It'll be very close.

Greeny, Blanch, Sa, Duport, Millard, Bosc, Dureau, Paea, Hendo, Casty, Menzies, Anderson, Baitieri. Mounis, Pelissier, Raguin, Fakir.

Wigan are Stomkins, Charnley, Goulding, Carmont, Richards, Finch, Leuluai, Lauaki, O'Loughlin (yes, at hooker), Mossop, Hansen, J'Accuse, Farrell. Smith, Lima, Dudson, Flower.

Nice forward pass.

Not going well. Ah well. Never mind

Way to save one of the worst 40 minutes of Trento's reign for a finals game. No invention, no spark. No bodies in motion in attack makes it very simple to defend. And then there's defence.... Far too many one-on-one misses.
The one saving grace is that we can't possibly be as bad after the break

Trying to find a positive to take out of that. I'll let you know if I find one

it wasn't great, was it? thought you missed Pryce more than I expected, totally clueless in attack.

Thought Dureau summed it up well afterwards. "Aw mate, we were terrible"
