Ticket sales don't appear great for this one, bit of a shame

Yes, looks like some passholders seats not taken up, but being on BBC doesnt help neither does playing Saints twice in a week.

Club are doing kids for a quid and Passholders bring a mate for £5 for Catalans

I think it's a big game to bring Litten back in after injury. And that also means changing roles for Hoy. Which means you haven't got your first choice full back as well as your first choice half back.

I wouldn't want to put Sutcliffe in the halves because Hurrell is a dangerous player in the centre and we need Sutcliffe there.

For me the choice has to be a straight swap of Clifford for either McNamara or Lovodua. Out of the two, I think I would prefer to give McNamara a go.

Lovodua offers little, he isnt a half back, im not actually sure what position he plays still

we all have our opinions but Lovodua has had his chance and we seriously need more at half back than catch and pass.
I am coming round to thinking Smith will bite the bullet and move Hoy to halfback and bring in Litten.
My preference would be Sutcliffe.
I dont think it matters who we play at left centre Sutcliffe of Scott as Hurrell is a handfull for any centre and most of Saints attack will in any case target our right edge

Possibly as Lomax for one has been quite unsporting this season especially in terms play acting to gain penalties and opposing players sin binned etc? The recent farce of the McDonnell sending off typifying those sort on antics.

Lomax gets more late hits than anyone and name me one player sin binned because of him?

Do red cards count? If so James McDonnell.

Litten FB, Tex in halves

Rovers in the hat, thrashing Salford. Shame for the competition that only 1 of the 4 ties looks like not being a blowout score.

Why don't Salford ever play like this against us? They always look like Penrith when we play them

I saw a robin when walking the dog this morning so I’m afraid we’re done for.

Glad Tex is in the halves, confidence player so if he gets some good ball early doors he’ll go alright.
