That's 3 out of the the top 5 teams, not gonna be an easy few weeks.
What do you think a realistic return would be? Obviously win all 3 would be fantastic, but I fail to expect that.
Personally:
Catalan - Start of the week I'd of said I wouldn't be suprised if we lost, the best team in the league for mem However, without Inu, Taylor & Carney, I'd be very disapointed now with anything but the 2 points.
Saints - Very hot & cold so far, I think man for man we have the better squad, we've done quite well at Langtree Part in recent years and the club putting on free coaches could swell the away support giving us a little extra boost, I wouldn't be as disapointed with defeat, as for once the joke "we can concentrate on the league" can actually be said.
Wigan - They was awful last night, though I'm not sure if the Sky commentary team mentioned it they had a few injuries. The DW is like Headingley for me, so many depressing nights seeing FC getting their arses handed to them on a plate, I will never be confident going over there.
So for me 2 from 3 would be a great return. 1 from 3 - not the end of the world 0 from 3 and we'll be checking if the inks dried on Radders' 3 year contract. 3 from 3 would be unbelievable. COYH.
I too expected the win last night but a hard fought game nonetheless.
The cup game? Think a win, hopefully as has been said elsewhere, Ellis and Mini back to replace, Pritchard and Manu. Radford knows a Cup winning run will do him the world of good and maybe finish off the doubters.
Wigan? As you say, similar situation as Headingley, they always seem to contrive the win, a la KC this season but I'll stick my kneck out and go for 3 from 3
