never!!!! - drop the best defensive centre we have - in fact one of the best defenders we have? are you mad?
going by the 19 and the positions they play think horne and kirmond will miss out - we need leroy in case of injuries to grix, brown, or robbo

I must be crazy!!! If I'm right, please do apologise on this thread about me being mad. It's just an opinion, and everyone has one.

for what its worth I think the team will be....

Grix
McGilvary
Cudjoe
Wardle
Hodgson

Brown
Robinson

Griffin
Lunt
Crabtree
Ferguson
Gilmour
Fa'alogo

Faiumu
Kirmond
Patrick
Mason

sorry mable, dont mean it in a personal way! but Bruno comes inside so much to take the heat off brown in defence, if we leave brown and hodgson (if he plays) without bruno defending that side then catalan will exploit it without a doubt

another option is to play horne off the bench so that he can play at 9 and LF - to allow fooey time at LF where he can perhaps capitilise on the lack of mobility of the cats pack.

Can't see Wardle making it after Wakey. He has tons of potential, but experience is needed against Catalans. Horne or Kirmond the other to drop out.

By the way, just my opinion.

Exactly my take on it !! we dont really need Horne or Kirmond this week as we are ok for 2nd rowers, we do however need cover for the backs and halves !

Fair point, though he held his own pretty well against Wigan & Saints so can't really see him being dropped for that personally - also thought he was one of our better players against Wakefield.

Isn't it nice trying to squeeze five quality players into four slots

NO WAY!!! you are mad!!

Who's going to the game?

Im in the East stand

....................et moi aussi!!

We are - in east stand, not sitting quite so high up this week!

We're in the 4 Pigeons. [Associate drinking with rugby and I can't keep the missus away!

Is that next door to the three pigeons?

its an extension to it round the back

3 4 or 5 million, as long as they've got beer...

erm... Jools???

Yep you were right maple sorry - and so was I - where did they score their tries?

Ha ha good call dude, couldn't see it personally but you made a good call there

Well a tough game that we dominated for long periods but couldn't convert.

Cudjoe was brilliant I thought in attack and defence, Hodgson had a great game but I'm sure that will be lost on many people.

Looks to me like the team is building in form and ability again for some crunch games.

Agree code. Leroy had a fabulous first half despite the stick hes been getting. Hodgson also has got a load of stick and two old blokes behind me were wingeing about him at the end despite scoring two making one, a try saving tackle and bundling someone into touch. He's one of the best finishers in the game and knows exactly what he should be doing even if he can't always execute it. Worth 12 more months for me.

I've not been the most charitable about dodgy this season, but for me he was man of the match. Lovely to see him pin back his ears and run rather than go inside. Showed he still has pace also.

Leroy gets better every week. He is very much a confidence player and it shows. At peak confidence he is international class.

Class performance from Cudjoe,still think he's better at right centre though,so his left foot step takes him on the outside.He's one of them naturally talented players who finds it all too easy and can look a bit casual sometimes,not that he is at all really.

Bit concerned about the halves now Brough's out,but well they have this next week to practice.
