We'll do a clean sweep and England will win the World Cup, humiliating the Aussies in the final. Have faith!

I would take the World Cup part over Wigan winning anything this season TBH.

Absolutely. I’ve waited a life time to win an Ashes or beat the Aussies to a World Cup.

Snap, and seeing as we only seem to beat them at RU these days a RLWC win would be most welcome.

Toulouse may have brought us back down to earth. But I’m fully accepting of why we went so high; 3 seasons of an abysmal mess all round the club to a colossal change on and off the pitch in more ways than one was always going to get the fans on a pedestal much higher than we should be.

Do I in reality think we’ll win a trophy? Hand on heart no. But I do believe it’s between us and Catalans for a final spot in both the GF and CC. I think it’ll take an almighty performance to knock Saints off their [grits teeth] fully deserved perch. They’ve set the standard phenomenally high and keep taking it up a notch. It’s up to us to either pull them back or own a higher perch.

Catalans this week will be a tough test. I can’t see us coming home with the win, I just think they’ve a bit more than us even with their injury/suspension list but it’s a huge bonus if so.

I read yesterday that they expect to have Tomkins, McIlorum and Dudson (last two are defo back) back and possibly Whare as well. I think that only leaves them short of Napa and Bousquet (it didn’t mention Yaha and if he’s ok after pulling out in last weeks warm up).

Happy to get the test against a strong Catalans side anyway. I think we need to see where we’re at.

Any of you guys travel over? If so any useful info? Best hotel, bars etc....

We caught the "aeroport" bus outside the airport arrivals terminal, every twenty minutes - €8 each. We caught it back from the centre to the airport - very good and punctual.

Our hotel was located about twenty minutes walk away from the city centre Odalys, cheap and very clean. Nice rooms. Saw an Ibis closer in that probably would have suited us better.

At night for those that like a takeaway there's a number of pizza, kebab shops in a row that are open late, plus lots of McDonald's. Quite a lot of nice restaurants knocking about but we didn't go in.

Best pub I thought was Melting Pot, great atmosphere pre and post match. Guinness - €6.90 a pint.

But then you've got Saints fans seeing their winning the double and England winning the World Cup and that's a dreadful thought.

If only we could find English passports for the non English lads in the Saints side, we’d win the football World Cup, let alone the Rugby League one.

Their fans told me.

Merseysiders don't support England.
