He will plays with Sir Menzies, so i'm confident

Pretty certain most Catalan supporters will be in the South Stand. Doubt west stand will be open.

That's where us coming up from Crusaders are going - really looking forward to this game now. Should be a cracker.



I fancy Catalans by 2 points, even without Dureau and Sa.

It's shaping up to be a massive game for both sides, if the weather holds off I can see us just edging it. If it is raining though, I ca can see us struggling, we've been dropping the ball far too much recently even when conditions have been ideal, so it could be yours to lose.



Hoping to see a few of yours supporters in the SS.

Double post!

I really don't know where this impression has come from that Potter gave our young players chances. Of the seven promoted for the start of the 2008 season there were only two who played consistently under him: Jamie Foster (made his debut on the wing halfway through last season and has never left) and Andrew Dixon (Matty Ashurst filling in when Dixon was injured). Although a halfback by trade, Jonny Lomax was never played there by Potter in spite of us having a serious injury crisis in the halves for a full third of last season (both Pryce and Eastmond sustaining long term season ending injuries). Lomax made cameo appearances at centre and on the wing when injuries struck there. Lomax of course has been playing in the halves this season and is now in the England Knights. Gaskell, our present stand off, played just one game. Jamie Ellis, subsequently let go and performing superbly for Leigh (with a contract at Hull for next season) played one game. Armstrong was hardly played. Magennis was never played but that was due to his own injury troubles.



Potter chose Wilkin and Moore as his halfbacks last season (neither of whom are halfbacks) instead of training up our young halfbacks, as Simmons has done this season.

Just a bit too daunting.

Not that daunting though. Thought we went really well and were well in it with not long left. Just didn't have that shift up at the end.

Oh and if you weren't following my updates on [url=http://www.twitter.com/dobsonjpTwitter[/url yesterday - and if not, why not? - you'll be pleased to know that St Helens scored impressively on the Clint-o-meter, racking up a commendable 5, one short of Hull KR's record.

Had a really good night - shame about the result, it completely flattered Saints. I actually didn't think Dureau would be missed as much as he was.



Menzies, Blanch, Greenshields etc were all impressive as usual though.



Still a great chance of the top 4 for Catalans.
