That reason wouldn't be that your playing Salford would it?

.

Going off both teams less than scintillating start to the season this should be a close match. Hopefully, our improved last 2 performances and home advantage will swing it in our favour. I'll go for 24-14 to Salford.

Hopefully the weather will hold off as it could be a really low attendance if it decides to chuck it down! Anyway, safe journey over and let's hope we make it a miserable return trip

The 19 players:

1 Clint Greenshields
2 Steven Bell
3 Sébastien Raguin
4 Setaimata Sa
5 Dimitri Pelo
6 Adam Mogg
8 David Ferriol
9 Casey McGuire
10 Jérôme Guisset
11 Olivier Elima
12 Gregory Mounis
13 Dallas Johnson
17 Cyrille Gossard
18 Dane Carlaw
20 Kane Bentley
22 Jamal Fakir
23 Chris Walker
24 Rémi Casty
25 Tony Gigot

I see Kane coming in after a great game against Lezignan in the French Cup.

Has Barthau been dropped or is he injured?

Injured thumb

Happy Days.

Bentley starts, Mogg out with with injured knee & Sa at stand off

not sure about that but struggling to think of another candidate at 6

Bentley has a sore knee and might not play full stop!
