how do you guys predict this one this weekend...

i reckon a bit of a thumping ,especially if they(catalan) play the way they did against saints.. Just a shame about the not letting kr train ,very disappointing ...


ref for saturday

I haven't recovered from last weeks disappointment yet! So much so, it is difficult to start thinking about this game.

Catalans are a tough team to bounce back against, and quite frankly I cannot see Rovers being able to do it. Unless, Sandy can inject a double dose of mental toughness it will be Catalans by at least 30-40pts.

I hope I can drum up some enthusiasm for the game. Hopefully I will, once I get on the plane. TBH if I hadn't booked it in pre-season I wouldn't be going. Thats how disappointed I still am.

No Watts or Webster, Salter added to the squad. Horne to play centre?... www.superleague.co.uk/preview/7491 Hope we don't line up like this ... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/17263242

Horne to centre looks likely. If Welham is struggling with his knee I guess Salter might get his debut.

Whilst I am not holding out too much hope of bringing home the two points, you never know wehich Rovers will take to the field. However, the fact that Thaler is the referee doesn't fill me with any joy at all.

nah,you'll be fine you get there ! it's a good craic down there win,lose or draw...



The Catalans still have a load of quality out injured ie : Menzies,Greenshields,Anderson,Henderson, Stacul etc but welcome back Pelissier who is the best youngster i've seen since Sam Tomkins - could be tricky who Robinson leaves out of the 19 as Ben Fisher had a blinder last week - Bosc was superb at FB
i'm predicting a Catalans win by about 20 so that should be the kiss of death.....

have a safe trip down lads

A potential / likely three-quater line of Lovegrove, Horne, Salter & Latus then. Could be a long afternoon.

Shows our squad is not as in depth as other clubs have. I cannot see a win myself, but you never know.

I think people playing in rigid positions may help tomorrow night:

O Donnell
Hall
Welham( if fit)
Horne
Latus
Murrell
Dobbo
Clinton
Withers
Taylor
Mika
Lovegrove
Hodgson

Subs
paea
Wheeldon
Cox
Nethers

What do people think about that 17?

I think we've signed a new (Irish?) full back.

Sorry Daniel Mc Donnell

Who?

A long evening beckons, if Catalans bring their A game to the field
Tho' that said Catalans aren't without a few of their own, so we'll see.

I'd start with Paea, if we’re going to get something from this game - we need to start well.
Not particular expecting to even run Catalans close tbh, but if not - let's hope we at least go to next week's game with something to build on.

What's up with Webster anyway?
The chitter chatter on t'other board is that Hall has not even travelled, so make of that what you will.

I got a text earlier in the week saying Hall was out for 3 weeks. i assumed it was rubbish but maybe not

That's alright - as long as he's back for the derby. Timely boost

Hall is fit but welham, webster and Josh hodgson all injured only webster to miss out but players playing with injuries already.

Got to say I am surprised, 20 mins gone & still nil nil.

Me & my big mouth.

Dobson! Get in.

Woohooo! Ginger Power!

Welham 90m interception try on the HT Hooter!!!.

12-6 to Rovers at HT.

Welham you beauty

Sounds like nobody can see why that Catalan try was given. Thaler making up these magical decisions once again. Was only going to be a matter of time.

Mickey P on report.

Only thaler Will know why.
