Must win game or shall we not be bothered with this one either?

It's not a must win game.

Satae and Kelly back, anyone else?

Will Radford dare to move Connor into the centres to accommodate Kelly in the halfs?

the sulking Sultan will be moved

This is making me laugh

Last season there wasn’t even a thread for the match v Catalans

Not before or after the match

I emailed AP and told him that morale in the fans was so low we couldn’t even muster a single thread on a topic that didn’t exist, such was the despair

Thankfully we have a Topic for this match

What drives a Forum board to not post a Topic on a match - not one thread !!!!

I don't see how he could justify not putting Kelly in. All of our problems can't be blamed on Connor at 6. Far from it in fact. But Kelly offers so much more in that position in attack and defence.

Radford reckons Carlos should be back

If that's the case then I would be leaving out Shaul. I can 100% guarantee that won't happen, but it should.

Drop his best man???

Hence the guarantee that it won't happen.

We had a Catalans Topic for the corresponding home match last year which went from Tues 30th April and finished Sun May 5th and spanned the match played on Fri May 3rd.
174 comments and 16,400 views. Very little comment during the actual match and the thread was mainly concerned with injuries and opinions on Radford.

No issues with the disciplinary this week, good news as RH reckoned Ligi Sao could be in trouble.

Dangerous team. Very unpredictable.

Sam Tomkins looked back to his best with that Hat-trick against Castleford.

Maloney and Folau are World class on their day.

After two defeats and a poor recent home record, the pressure is on in this one.

Got to agree , Massive game for us , especially after AP's pre- seasons comments on how poor we have been at home and how it has to improve .

I thought we'd beat Wigan but i think we'll lose to Catalan

I thought we'd lose at Wigan but think we'll beat Catalans.
Here's hoping.

I cannot see anything but a FC win
I really can’t because if we lose then Radfords our

There’s my prediction

That’s why I’m convinced we will win UNLESS the players want rid of him

The pack we put on the park at Wigan was never going to give us the win. Will wait for the team news before a final selection this week but currently am with you with your prediction.

Just have a sneaking feeling that Catalans will make top 5 this year although like many others I have been caught out in previous years by looking at their squad and thinking they appear good enough for a top5 finish.

For me this is a "Really, really need to win" game, which is getting near to a "must win" one. To go 1 -2 at home this early in the season would really ramp up the pressure on radford and the squad and with some tricky fixtures coming up a win would give us some confidence going into those

its not a must win game, but as a home game against a team that finished outside the playoffs, and slightly below us last season, its a game we should be winning

i know a lot of folk love to hate tomkins, but i think he a tremendous player. as a fullback he seems to be a link between the old style and modern player, and he's modified his game over the years as he's got older.

Injuries have meant he lost that yard of pace he used to have, but he's still kept that ultra competitiveness he' always had. I thought he was instrumental for Wigan when they won the title in 2018. He was the best player on the pitch in the semi final. He was England's best player in the 9s competition at the end of last year and was unlucky not to be in that Great Britain team, especially when he'd been the half when we beat New Zealand the previous year.

He looked in good nick from the highlights I saw against Castleford in their last game.

Catalans Dragons coach Steve McNamara believes discipline is the key to undoing Hull FC when they travel to the KCOM Stadium this weekend......

“Statistically the KCOM Stadium is the toughest place to go. Hull FC, credit to them, were the least penalised team in the whole of 2019 by a long way.
“They have not lost a penalty count in the four games they’ve played this year. In the last four times we’ve been there we’ve lost the penalty count 36 to 21.

“We are clear in terms of how we want to play against Hull FC.”

With all this Virus stuff I’m reading from Aus I wonder if this is the last home game for a month or 3 ?
