how about Catalans, what is their team like? i hear they have 3 missing through head injuries. Anyone else significant missing.

let's hope the new directive at the ruck lessens the tomkins cheating effect

No one seems to have mentioned it but in the Catalan game he was acting half, can’t remember who the FC player was but he’d rolled at least a yard to the side of the ruck, Tomkins took the ball and literally dived sideways into the FC player and was awarded a penalty. Thank The Lord, The RFL appear to have acted for once.

Ah Tomkins, cometh the hour cometh the cheat.

Andy Last saying in the hdm that Kelly and Sneyd are both short term injuries and could well be back for the cup game.
Carlos out for a week or two more with his achilles problem, but again nothing major.

Just playing to his strengths



Seriously though, I just cannnot understand why players with that much talent and ability, resort to such pathetic play.

Important game tonight, if we win we'll either be 2 points behind Warrington, or 4 points ahead of Cas, depending on their result.

Good Post !
I would add if we beat Cas next week, we will be in the next round of the Cup

Thanks, sorry if it was a bit over your head.

Maybe I should have said that if we lose we could be 6 points behind Warrington, or level on points with Cas.

What if they draw?

Less likely nowadays, so took the risk of ignoring it.



And here's me thinking that the object of being in a league was to catch up the clubs above you,
and/or put more points between you and the clubs below you.
Something we could achieve tonight.

Or not if everyone draws

I think we've already worked that one out.

If catching Warrington is unrealistic, you'd want them to win, if there's a chance then Cas to win,
if you're unsure then maybe a draw is the best result.
