Thin on the ground for obvious reasons. Not the ideal time for a trip to le midi. There is no cloud forecast for Saturday and temperatures will be high and breeze sparing.

Apologies if Bongser is not as dishy as the weather girls on some TV channels.

Don't fancy this one, though strange things happen in RL (like tonight's result).

COYL!

It does look tough, however, If our forwards can compete, and match theirs, we have a great spine to get points. Like you say, strange things happen, so.....................COYL!

Hi Bongser,
I think you are every bit as good looking as Michael Fish.
We will certainly miss the likes of Kai and Josh, but that is still a team that can get this done. The weather may even help as we are nothing if not an extremely high pace and high fitness team.
Also re Saints, I do not buy into the “Saints are back to normal service” belief lately. They are fragile in defence compared to previous seasons, and not dominating the middle with ball in hand like before either. They could still of course win it all in the playoffs and Challenge Cup, but I doubt both. I have seen nothing that says they can string together enough consistency/quality to put together a playoff run, and only glimpses of one game quality to lift the Challenge Cup.
I think we have a great chance this weekend in France (50-50 for me), with a great number of fans traveling and a team that has a point to prove to them after last week. I’ve read estimations of 700 Leythers will be at the game. That will be recognized by the lads.
I also think we will beat Saints in the semi. They are simply not the force they have been.

I'm sure you meant Zak VL, however, it gives others an opportunity to step up.

Almost choked on my cuppa as I read that
And yes I certainly did mean Zak Cokey

Lachlan and Ben will keep turning their forwards around with kicking. Play an expansive game to our edges...don't take them on down the middle.
