Good news that fages and cogger are back and named in the squad for Friday. lolohea also in there- between them and Russell we should have some halves!
Jones also named and Hill and McQueen also back in the squad so we are looking rather healthy at the moment!


McGillvary, Leutele, Golding, Lolohea, Fages, Hill, Levi, Lawrence, Jones, McQueen, Yates, English, Greenwood, Cogger, Trout, Ikahihifo, O’Brien, Wilson, Cudjoe, Russell, Senior.

If all are fit I would like to see

Leutele
Senior
Russell
Fages
Hill
Levi
English
Jones
McQueen
Yates

Derek
Trout
Greenwood

No but that is one I would prioritise

DG, do you feel there is a need to prioritise at this stage of the season? Or did you just mean out of the 2 games, the Cup game is the one you'd prioritise if there was a need?

The SL is not won in April but the challenge cup could be lost innApril.

If anyone is not fully fit I would give them the extra week and go for the game against Hull

Good job Watson didn’t agree.

A good performance tonight. The team stood up well against a very physical Catalan side.
Again good to see the team coming together in the face of adversity and sticking to their process to get through a sticky patch and come through the other side.
Lucky we had fages on the bench who was only expected to play a bit in the final part of the game just to get some game time but actually was needed when Oli Russell took a very heavy knock after 30 minutes. Jerry also came off with an injury so a bit of shuffling needed with Leroy shifting out to wing and McQueen to centre and Catalan then tried to send some traffic down that side to exploit that change.
Cogger seemed to link up well with both Russell and fages- who really lifted things when he came on. I thought Jonesy was fabulous in the first half especially and was my MOM. Hill Yates greenwood and Derek put in some hard work.
No doubt the detractors will blame the fact that Catalan had their flight cancelled and arrived late and that’s why we won, but we cannot help that.
Tomkins was awful. Must have left his kicking boots in France.

Excellent game, if there was ever a chance to beat catalans it was Friday night. We did it thought without Russell and Jerry most of the night but it was a great team effort. I thought Hill was outstanding in particular. Fages too class, looked to have injured himself but played until the end
