I think you've got a good chance of winning all three. Catalans are there for the taking, they're going to take a beating off someone soon. They started the season well, but you can see the slowdown in their performances. The collapse second half against Leeds was telling and they've backed that up by almost losing to a truly horrendous Cas side at home. You'll put 20+ on them. You've then got Wigan at home and they'll have played us in the derby, which is emotionally draining even if they win comfortably. The only chance I see of you struggling in that game is the travel back from France causing a bit of a slower start. But I only see that reducing the score, not changing the result. If you win both of those you'll be on top of the world confidence wise and there's every chance you'll beat us. We're a million miles away from hitting top form, or any form recognisable as us from previous years, and have potentially just lost Walmsley for a while. That would make it a bit of a mismatch in terms of the size on the bench. You could have four props and we'd have LMS and Delaney. It'll be interesting to see our squad for the Wigan game when it's announced. People saying now that Paasi and Walmsley could both be out. You'd beat us by plenty if that's the case
