If Manu is out, I'd play Ellis, if not stick with what we have, give him another two weeks off and get him ready for the Cas game.

Michaels in for Fonua.

Shaul will be a big loss, looked great on Friday and not seen enough of Naughton at FB to say he is ready to play there.

Agree with the above, tough game, I think we are capable of winning, but they will rightly be big favourites. There backs look big, but a bit slow, so maybe turn them around with early kicks.

If Aiton is out, we have a big advantage in the starting front row.

Manu expected to be fit for Catalans, but sounds like Fonua could be longer.

Difficult decision if Ellis is back, which forward drops out of the 17?

I'm not even guessing anymore. Had 2 good sources yesterday. Morning 1 had Fonua ok. Night one had him out for 3 weeks minimum Although both had Sika playing. Also sounds like ellis back. So which forward misses out? Now that's a good headache for any coach to have!

Washbrook

Who'd play at hooker when houghton's knackered?

Didn't Houghton do 80, although he did miss a few tackles towards the end including one that lead to a try.

I'd either not bring in Ellis and save him for the next game in two weeks or drop Green (Harsh I know).

Yeah I think he did - Washbrook came on for Thompson, then slotted in at centre. Covered dummy half a couple of times too

Watts missed the tackle, Houghton to do 80 for me, unless injured
