Great news and for me totally unexpected, even if he doesn’t play this week hopefully he can come back for the Saints game. Back to being a 2 man team again!!!

We've not done too bad with only 1 player, having 2 will be great

I'm sure they'll only play him when they're sure he's ready. Suspect he'll miss out this week or maybe have a 20 minute cameo. Hamstring injuries must be a mental challenge for speedsters in their first few games back. I don't think we'll be seeing him go all out for a while.

Field on the bench and to have 10-15 mins before half time when the Catalans big men are tiring. Field is the last players they'll want to see coming off the bench.

i just think back to 2 seasons ago when he was coming back mid-season from the hammy injury. He never looked right once, and then was out for the remainder of the season. Better to give him an extra couple of weeks with some real intense training sessions than to force it and him be out for the rest of the season. Although it could go during a training session, its a better scenario as he can pull back if he dont feel right as opposed to pushing to chase someone down / outrun someone during a match

Different staff at the helm then.

If he isn't ready, he won't play.

Great he’s back, a top 5 player in the league.

Really worried what we’d be like without him but think it’s 6 wins from 8 games which we would have taken.

Not too fussed which week he comes back, trust the coaching team to get it right. Maybe bench this week

will he be playing prop?

Sure they won’t risk him if he’s not right. I’d imagine they’ll go with the approach of giving him a week too long and not a week short. The injury wasn’t as serious as the one in 2021, so he should get back to his best quicker.

Starts at 6, Cust on the bench

Catalans with their strongest line up.

Think that we have a very poor bench against a strong Catalans side

We love a penalty when we have possession. Given away field position and then concede straight away, followed up by kicking out on the full. What a team we are sometimes. Add on another try whilst we are at it.

That was obviously ripped out on Smithies. Gifts a try to Catalans.

Hate to be a pessimistic but already think that could be game with how weak our team and bench is

These look way too big for us already. Probably need to be within one score at half time and hope for some fatigue.

Thats definitely game over imo e wigan, time for the beers i think

3 scores behind and not played half an hour. This is going to be a cricket score when our heads drop. Catalans line speed miles quicker than ours. After getting in front everything has gone wrong.

I’m glad some of our fans aren’t playing, talk about throwing in the towel early!!!!
Our defence has looked poor and it doesn’t look great but there is plenty of time to get back into this and conditions perfect for our fast backs.

If we go and score 5 unanswered tries now I’ll be amazed.

We haven’t turned up.

What say now? We’ve all got eyes, it’ll be a point a minute soon. We’ve made 136m in half an hour. Would love to see how that stacks up against some records in Super League.

Pretty sure you slagged em all off and said it was game over last week.

Think you’ve made that up sunshine, just Smithies for his petulance. We weren’t great last week but at least hung in there. Smith and his kicking I just questioned why we bother with him.

With an inferior/out weighted pack I think we need to keep the ball alive with offloads and try and get it out to our fast outside backs, feel like we need the next try to have any chance though.

If it was wasn’t yourself I do apologise, im just not a massive fan of OTT negativity.
