Well that's a load of tripe for a start...! What do you say to those that have booked time off work to go to various events that won't necessarily get their money back??
What's wrong with a minutes silence before each game of every sport?? What happened is sad fair enough, but to curtail every sporting event isn't the answer.

I can't believe Steves is spending time on this board on a national day of mourning. We need more grief!

They'll make room for their adverts, you can be sure of that.

Genuine question

If the game had been cancelled. What would you have expected the viewers to do in those two hours 'to pay their respects'?

And more wailing / gnashing of teeth

If Newman is medically fit to play he must start or not be in the 17 at all. Although its harsh on O Connor we cant go 3 small forwards in this game.
This is what I would play depending on fitness.
Myler
Briscoe
Newman
Sutcliffe
Hardaker
Austin
Sezer
Oledski
Leeming
Prior
Bentley
Gannon
Smith

Dwyer/o connor
Tetevano
Walters
Donaldson

If Newman not in 17 Tindall comes in and Zak to centre.

Austin also missing from photo at airport. Really doesn't like going to France does he

Newman hasn't flown out. Apparently Austin and Donaldson (can't see them on the photo) have.

Thats feint chance gone then I fear. Will be radio job tonight as I can’t justify the effort of going to the pub and watching. Injuries and RFL have achieved a very one sided looking game…….

There'll be plenty of gnashing of teeth on social media, I do feel for Dwyer but with their pack being as it is starting with O'connor is probably our best option in this game.

We look on paper too weak to get the win but you never know.

Either way to end up 5th and only a couple of points behind Cats with the season start we had is a minor miracle so even if we lose I feel a lot more positive about the future. One thing we now know is this side won’t give in.

Agree. Prior, starting at Prop, is going to have to put in a seasons best performance and then some.

Our strike is very limited with newman Handley Martin and fusitua missing, we're going to need some guile and execution to open them up. If our passing is on in the first 20 we're in it.

Why are they playing the last game on sky now at 740? Connection problems?

Not convinced that they are showing it.
On the sky sports app it normally has fixtures listed as being on sky and which channel. Earlier today it was listed as being on arena and when I checked right now it isn’t listed as being on sky.

What a joke having no announcement or confirmation

Edit now saying 750. 20 minutes to pay your respects

Radio it is then

It seems obvious but its mperative we start strong first 20 minutes. If we are even or in the lead early in the second half i think Catalans haven’t got the fitness to see it out. Last twice we have given them too big a lead (even with the comeback win) we simply must knock them of their stride straight away and take the referring out of the equation.

Its on sky arena as normal 408

Think Leeming not starting suggests Smith realises he’s not what we need at 9…….

Not on mine mate.

Ban for Pearce incoming

Clucking bell, hows that not a try momentum continued,

Fk knows and who's running the video a 12 year old?!

It’s almost laughable this sport now. All in one moment that. Bull call yet again.
