Catalans : Sat Jun 30, 2018 7:38 pm  

Oh dear!! I was quite optimistic about next week's game but having seen today's result I'm now a little nervous. Fortunately the game's at home.

Well hopefully they wont be used to this warm weather!

Agreed, our of all the team's at or on present form they, Catalan run the hardest
With the ball, and the most tenacious in the tackle, their coach has brought an NFL type game to the super league which is now successful ! They are super fit to the end of the game, however they are still prone to silly behaviour which can be capitalized on it your team keeps its disciplin.
We are a much better team under CC, but we are fit but not for 80mins which
Has not been addressed this season in particular when we generally come up against top 5 teams. However we are the best of the rest when we put it together.
Up the Trin, let's settle the issue next week !

Should be a battle royal if Catalan bring that form over the channel with them ,and a real feast of rugby league for hopefully new spectators taking up the ticket offers .
And hope enough of them like what they see and return paying the full admission which would be a big plus for the club.

I'll take a dour struggle that puts newbies off for life if we get the two points at the end.

We don't officially find out it's Child until Thursday.

Their pack was pretty awesome last night! Should be a great battle on Saturday, hopefully Catalans will bring their traditional away form to Belle Vue. It ain’t going to be easy by any means.

Watched Catalans a few times over the last few weeks and for the majority of the games they’ve played they’ve been playing some good rugby, they’ve just let themselves down the second half with silly errors. Good to see them putting the right things together, means we should be in for a cracker next week providing we play like we did against Saints!

It's going to be a tough game that's for sure.
It's a big game for both teams and I'm certain they will be targeting us so they can establish themselves in the top 8.

Our fate this season is completely in our hands as we play Catalan, Leeds and Huddersfield who are all immediately below us, and Hull who are immediately above us.
If we lose any of them we give the other a chance to move above/away from us. Win all 4 and we can be in 5th and putting pressure on Cas for the playoffs.
