That may answer why we are only talking 17 players. I guess even the club has waved the white flag on this one.

Depends whether we are chartering a plane or going cattle class with the public.

Will be a miracle if we come away with the points from this one ,Catalans are too big too strong and on a different level in their attacking structures,but we live in hope . Damage limitation is the order of the day I suppose from this one ,get it out of the way and move on , still plenty of winnable games to look forwards to .

To be honest, I can see two, one of them has just been postponed and the other will be away against a club who despite been winless pushed us all the way at BV.

Catalans have a win record of 10 in a row and it is highly unlikely that the record won't go on to be 11, 12, 13 etc. Really don't see the point in filling the squad with Academy guys to make up the numbers on this occasion. Hats off to the club as it continues to do it's bit to keep the Sky Contract while others take the urine.
Slightly O/T but how crazy was Jake Mamo last night high fiving the Wire supporters and hugging some after his team's victory. Hardly surprising the competition still has Covid issues when this is happening?

Going to lose by 30+ more worried about how many players will come back injured

Thats why its stupid to play sure we could of got out of it line other clubs are.i think the club think its a competition to see how many games they can play

27 degrees in Perpignan today nice and cool for the boys. With this business of Catalan games not being on tv I hope other clubs complain as this is just another thing that makes the competition even more lopsided. Some teams have had benefit of televised and some will have not. If they don’t get a deal sorted soon then the RFL should say that they forfeit any home playoff games as Sky will need to cover them without piggybacking Bein sports

Luppylad . They re a professional outfit , so they will want to play there games on a rugby pitch and not on a spreadsheet. If they perform to the best of their abilities and lose , then they will have been beaten by a better side. I know you think that winning is everything. but performing to your best is winning in the bigger picture..
