Another really good match up in prospect.
Trinity buoyed by their win against Huddersfield, with a great second half performance, travel to the sweltering inferno of the Stade Gilbert Brutus.
It's always a warm reception over there and with record breaking temperatures all over Europe and current forecast of 31c for 6pm (kick off), its going to hot, hot, hot !
Great for the fans but less so for the players.
Catalan have their own injury problems at the moment and playing in such temperatures will test the fitness of all who take the field.
With our pack having found some mettle and form and Tupou slotting seamlessly back in, there is every chance of coming back with more than a sun tan and this could be the start of a final push to secure a play off spot.

Hope we have plenty going over there for a game which is always a highlight of the season and lets all enjoy the sun and the game.

Come on Trin !

Following on from Friday, and the way we seemed to grow in confidence as the game went on, feeling pretty confident that we could nick this one.

Mrs EW dropped a little hint the other day, that for our birthday weekend, that we are Spain bound, and fly out on Thursday.

Hopefully, if that is the case, will see some of you down there

This is a very important game for us now. The win against the Giants was great but it counts for little if we slip back to the mistake filled game.
We may not win but we need to show we are turning the corner for confidence.

We have the hardest run in of all the teams below us so we need to keep the momentum.

Might be on the same plane as the players, that’ll be fun

What's the bar called where everyone seems to meet in Perpignan

The one in the castle square Acko, forget its name but the owner looks like a relative of our MC

If you’re going mate make sure you take your bandana, it’s going to be a warm one

We can win this game & should win this game, however, I am no party pooper, but note, Catalan had 7 first teamers out today, most except bird will be back for Wakey, all as planned by them, targeting us-this match.
My main concern is the number of injuries we always get when we play them, sometimes caused by dubious means !! ???
However, up the trin !!!

I'll be very surprised if any of the Bookies think the same. Reckon we'll get about 8- 10 start.

Not at their place.

Another need to win game because the Cas game is pretty much a write off.

Here we go again ! Same old Same old Mr negative post.

Are you making the trip over BLM

Yes

Only SL ground he as never played at, hopefully he will this weekend

Should be one of the first names on the team sheet in my eye.

If my gut feeling is right, will look out and have a drink with you guys.

Still don't officially know where I'm going, will be gutted if I'm barking up the wrong tree, just a very big coincidence that I happen to be flying out somewhere, on the same weekend as the game, though a Spain flag was on a message the other day

You'll be off to Skipsea so that your better half can watch KR

Think their away at Wigan, and definately flying.

We haven't beaten Cas in four years fella.

Would there be a better time to play them, hopefully on the back of another win, full of confidence...

Form supposedly goes out the window when derbies are concerned. We have been given them tougher games recently but still coming with 0 points. Which is why I think the Catalans game is more important.

Thought it was longer than that but I feel less confident about this one than I have for a long time.

It feels longer to me as well.

Inspector Clusoe was right.

Were flying out Thursday and staying in Lloret.

See you guys there

We fly out Friday morning from LBA, staying in Lloret. Should be good.

Skybet giving us 4 start...as I said in a thread last week they're a country mile the most clued up bookie when it comes to rugby league betting...they have Catalans 8/13 which is the best price available...as short as 4/9 with others...they have us at 5/4 to win outright with the best price available for us being 15/8 and that's some difference....I'm not a fan of bet365 but will be taking some of that 15/8 because I see it a 50/50 game at best....i'd even have us as slight favourites but that's obviously because I'm biased!
