Kylie Leuluai suspended for Friday. Was hoping the disciplinary would find something to charge Sinfield/McGuire/Burrow/Peacock* with as well, but hey ho.

* - delete as applicable

How's the confidence levels amongst the Catalans fans?
I know a few of us are fearing another failure in the play-offs after last weeks comprehensive victory by Saints.

Confidence would be higher if Leon's available. Safe to say the attack was pretty toothless last week. But, on our own midden, we have to be more confident than if we were away.

Well whadda y'know, Leon's back.

The 19:

Greeny (on his last Brutus appearance), Blanch, Leon, Sa, Tommy B Goode, Dureau, Fef (on his last Brutus appearance), Ian Hendo Henderson, Bulldozer, Sir Steve Menzies New-Contract Campbell, King Louis XIX, Mounis, Traffic Warden (on his last Brutus etc and so on), EEEELLLOOOOIIIII, Millard, JaJa, Paea, Baitieri, Viiiinnnnn-ceeennnnnttt Duuupooooo-ooooo-ooooorrtttt (rat ta tat ta tat).

Leeds have Ian Kirke back after getting sparked by Luke O'Donnell's chin two weeks ago.

BJB, Watkins, Hardaker, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Peacock, JJB, Ablett, Sinfield, Delaney, Bailey, Kirke, Clarkson, Hauraki, Griffin, Moore, Ward, Lunt.

Leon wasn't the difference last week, your pack was beaten and that dictated the game.
Jamal Fakir was taken off 10 minutes to go with a leg injury. Has he recovered to play against Leeds?

The pack could have built an oil-drilling platform, it wouldn't have mattered. There were no bodies in motion, no guile and it was all very predictable and straightforward to defend.

Good Luck tonight.

Really hoping for a Leeds defeat to shut up some of their arrogant fans. They are a good side but they are definitely beatable.

So Pryce is back. When was the last time his team missed a GF?



How will Trento line them up?
Greenshields
Blanch Sa Bosc Duport
Pryce Dureau
Ferriol Henderson Casty
Beaver Anderson
Baitieri

Pelissier Mounis Paea Fakir

Raguin & Millard to miss out?

Good luck Catalans I hope you sneak a win, you have played well and crowds brill this season..

Difficult. Millard and Raguin have been good all year and it's difficult to leave either out. Bosc won't play centre, that's for sure. More like revert to the two full-back system that's been so good with Bosc named on the wing with Millard at centre and Duport the unlucky one to drop out.
Nice problem to have I suppose, especially at this late stage in proceedings.

Pryce on the bench, tweets Phil Caplan

Well Pryce was on the bench, but clearly not fit. He only played the last 7 minutes. And when Mounis went off injured, we were playing with 15 - something entirely of our own making. People will talk about whether Danny McGuire should have walked for the high shot on King Louis XIX, but it was team selection that was the root cause.

I said two years ago that with that many etrangers we'd best win something, or we'd just have wasted years of french development.

Out outgoing coach was better than his predecessor, but we are more dependent on etrangers now than we were two years ago.
