Surprised but glad Walker is in.
No Josh Woods and no Atkins both of whom I though would be in.

Is Atkins fit and if so, does this mean that he was one of the "senior" players that was unwilling to take an amended contract ?
Surprised about Wood. Defensively he's excellent and we're going to need all the help we can get in that department.
After last week, a win would be a huge ask but, we need to be seeing some full commitment from every player and some on field organisation, which was woeful last week, in both attack and defence.

I assume that your number 13 was a typo

So who are these 'experienced' players that CC was dropping?

I cannot believe Tanginoa will be fit to play, so guess he is in there to make up the squad. I cannot understand the omission of Atkins because he would be ideal to play centre against Falou and was in the squad against Wigan. It is a strange decision unless injured but not the first one for this season.
I am glad Walker back because if replaced by Gigot just to play the latter it did not work, which was obvious after the Wigan game.

So does anyone know what the deal is with the lesser-spotted Chris Green? Conspicuous By his absence again.

Looks like the players dropped are
Josh Woods ?
Lee Kershaw (injured)
Reece Lynne (suspended for 2 games)
Tony Gigot (cup tied)
Liam Kay (cup tied)

I presume from that squad that the ones who played last week have had a rocket .
Rhe only players absent are injured cup tied suspended or in the case of Josh Wood dropped ?
Not the changes expected after CC post match interview

It was a shocking performance last week, we all know that, but for me it was out of character for us to lose so badly. Prior to last week...I think some people are easily forgetting (because of the manner of that defeat) that our last 3 matches saw a 1 point loss to Wigan, a golden point loss against Hull and a win away at Salford...

The players would have been hurting after last week and having the same opposition this week gives them the perfect opportunity to give a reaction...

We don’t know how they’ve responded in training through the week...I’m all for giving them the opportunity to right last weeks wrongs though.

One perfect example would be Joe Westerman...has come in for a lot of stick for last week...he had a nightmare yes, but pre lockdown was one of, if not our best player and last week his first game for months..

They might still be dropped before the 17.
We haven't got many more names at the club

Chris Green missing again? He is beginning to remind me of Ian Kirke and his similar lack of contribution being absent/injury prone.....

Just when you need a big experienced prop to step up to the plate against that Catalan pack.....

Maybe he's not injured.

Cant see why we would drop josh thought he was one of the few that actually tried, really could do with tanginoa fit

backs look totally out gunned but guess if thats what we have we can only hope for the best

Leaving naverette out he was probally out best player last week the only one to take it to them

Maybe he isn't injured and if not then why isn't he playing? Is it a contract issue?

Supposedly a good standard big SL prop who is in his prime at 29 who has won silverware in the CC twice with Hull. However he never seems to get a mention from the coach as a consideration to bring in with a pack that has just been mullered by Catalan. Meanwhile Chester admits that Trinity had tried to take Catalan down the middle and failed then leaves out a 6 foot 5 tall 18 stone experienced prop from the 21 man squad?

If he's not doing it on the training field to get selection then he's going the same way as Ian Kirke who I think was a poor signing...

Naverette is both in and out of his team.

Maybe he's injured or maybe he's not but he was doing okay last season and this up till lock down so who knows, maybe the CEO will come on here and give us it from the thread to the needle, or maybe not, one thing I do know though is that not only are you a bit premature but are also doing him a great disservice by comparing him to Ian Kirke.

I think I'd start with Crowther at 9 for the extra defence and put K Wood on the bench.
Think Fifita is better as an impact sub so swap him and Kopzcak
Maybe ask Arona to prop and put Batchelor on the bench too instead of Tangata

Other than that I'd agree, so my side looks like:
Walker
Senior Tupou Croft Hampshire
Miller Jowitt
Kopzcak Crowther Navarette
Ashurst Pitts
Westerman

K Wood, Fifita, Arona, Batchelor

Missing out:
Kirmond, Tanginoa, Tangata, Bailey

Too many journeyman taking the club for a long long ride

Yet you never offer an alternative or a way of funding it. It’s to easy to just call players journeymen, it’s meaningless.

You do the okie cokie and turnaround


copied and pasted the squad so must have missed that

Probably a silly question but is it on TV and if so which one? Ta

BBC 1, with a 2.30 kick off.

Which ones are journeymen?
