Given that we are guaranteed 2nd spot, what team should TS put out at Catalan? It will be 30c of strength & energy sapping heat so why risk & tire our key players?

My team would depend on at least 2 of Atkins, Myler & Brett playing.

Brett
Riley
Evans
Atkins
Williams
GOB
Myler
Moz
Dywer
Ben Harrison
Lathwaite
Coops
Ben Currie

Tyrone
Danny Bridge
Monas M (not to play more than 25 mins in total)
Big Riley

With Gaz Carvell as 18th man.

Realistically I cant seeing TS resting so many players as I would.
What do you think our team should be?

Briers, Higham, Ratchford, Joel and Hill should be sat at home with their feet up.

I wouldn't play Gaz O'B over there after last time. I'd go with Glen Riley, Danny Bridge and Tyke "knock on" McCarthy for definite. I'd rest Ratch, Briers, Mickey H, Chris Hill & Woody. The rest can come from the u19's. it's about being right for the playoffs and getting the week off to rest lumps and bumps.

Why move ratchford, when he's just played outstanding a fullback tonight? He was superb

To prevent injury. Depending on the Hudds score this weekend it could well be a nothing game.

Play the best team available. We are not playing consistently good enough to have the confidence to rest players. We need our best to be playing together on a regular basis to maximise our performances, which has been difficult to identify this season.
As I am going , as usual, I don't want to see a poor performance, as I pay my money to be entertained by our best team.
However I really don't care about the end of season Mickey Mouse Cup, so I may be biased.

Depends on result on sunday and if the lls is still up for grabs

If Hudds win against Wakefield I'd put half a team out against Catalans, rest key players and give some of the younger lads some experience.

Has GOB a future at the Wire? Playing Simon Grix at scrum half last night makes me doubt that he has!

He's coming back from injury. Heard he's playing for Swinton tomorrow.

Atkins and Myler are still not back in full training.

Oh Pooh...........
Does anyone know if Richie will be back for any part of the Play Offs?

How many do we think will travel to France? There is me plus 4, thats a start.

Even if Myler & Atkins are back in full training, I wouldn't risk them. Give them an extra week to get ready for the play-offs without some hulking french forward trying to decapitate them.

I'd go with :

Brett
Williams
Bridge
Evans
Riley
O'Brien
Monaghan
Hill
Grix
Wood
Currie
Harrison
Cooper

Morley
Dyer
McCarthy
Riley

Not a team I'd expect to win to be honest, but at least it would give most of the key players a rest.

Its the last game of the season, the schools are back, the play offs the following week. I would say approx 500, sadly I wont be one of them

I disagree with that team we could well win . For me rest a few more such as Hill, Grix & Wood.

Yes - it's really bad planning by the games administrators - and bad for Cats.
We usually take the biggest crowd of the season. It would have made more sense to have had a 'lower attendance' club play there.
There's no way I'll pay out when the game means very little.
That would fund me for all the play off games.

In fairness, we could have been going to Catalan to win the LLS. If we hadn't lost to Widnes twice then we would only need a point for the LLS to be ours again.

We could building on last night going into the playoffs, although our results have been good since May bar Hull x2 and Widnes, we havent actually played anywhere near the level this side is able to, Smith was very happy with the performance last night as it was much needed.

Hopefully we have done a Leeds and are ready to roll for the playoffs, min two games left after Catalan and we only need to win one to be 80mins from a Grand Final, its crazy when you think about it.

Well we know weav wire is going, and therefore someone is going to let him down or something, so he'll be trying to flog a ticket, hopefully it's earlier in the week to give him better chance of shifting it.

I hope he plays as full a strength team as possible, I'm going to Catalan and I don't want to be going to watch the reserves

Understand your sentiment Chrissie, but the bigger picture would suggest a cautious approach with anybody with the slightest niggle getting a rest.

Agree. Plus I think going away as a team and playing a tough game will do a lot more good than sitting at home watching on the telly.

I'm going to but not too bothered what team we play, my plan is to have a good few drinks at the game then..
We lose go back to spain and have more than a few drinks...
We win go back to spain and have more than a few drinks...
