If we compete and don't collapse I'll be OK with losing but if we throw the towel in like we have done too many times in the last few seasons it will say a lot about us IMO

We have good strength in depth across the park now. Yes we are losing some quality without satae, sav, manu etc but its a good chance for the other lads to stake a claim.

I can't see any reason for us to lose this game. Got to expect the champs to come firing and throwing everything they've got. If we can whether the early storm, we have a good chance of going 3 from 3

Fully agree. The thing that has bothered me the most is that we have developed a culture of making excuses. After we went on that horrific losing run in 2018 the club seemed more interested in patting themselves on the back and saying how well we did to make the 8 with all those injuries. How often do you hear Radford telling us that we will be a lot better when we have our best 17 on the field. Of course injuries affect you, but if you are going into games feeling sorry for yourself with your excuses already made you are going to get well beat.

I just want to see us take the game to them tomorrow and give the best performance we can give. If we win then that's fantastic. If we lose with pride in tact then that's absolutely fine. But if we roll over and then have to hear Radford bleating on about the players we had missing then we will know we haven't changed from the last 2 years.

Wynne playing for the reserves this afternoon (@13).

Lund and Buchanan not playing might suggest there are concerns about a couple of other players.

Simply time for the likes of Fash and Matongo to prove they deserve a spot, for me Masi needs to be busier, i think sometimes the other props like Taylor and Ellis can eat into Masis workload which makes him come over as being not busy enough, go and exert yourself young man.

Biggest conundrum for me is Johnstone, i think hes giving Radford the biggest headache of all, done nothing wrong in two games, and if anything we look better in attack with him on the field

Good win for what appeared to be a very young reserves side, 20-16 against Widnes.

"Horrendous conditions".

Time for Masi to step up .
Could be his last season here if he doesn’t prove his worth.
He is a big unit , but not aggressive enough for me . Too “nice”.

Weather forecast looking better around 2,get in. Israel scored for Cats.

problem i see is he doesnt see enough of the ball.Maybe too quiet on the field.
Should demand the ball more or put himself in the position to receive the ball.
Its all about confidence.
