One weakness I've noticed in amongst all the justified optimism is a consistently short right side defence. Crusaders and Hull Kr should have taken advantage of it a few times and I felt Warrington pinpointed it a few times. Commiting players to the tackle is fine but we need to get numbers back and not rely on a risky intercept tackle.
Catalans can be pretty flamboyant on their day and can spread the ball well so we may be found out in this area. They competed well against a good Wakefield side and as we know from the past, you have no chance against Saints with 12 men. They've got quality players and most importantly, they're a desperate team.
