Strong Catalan forwards, but backs quite week so i would be focusing on attacking the edges

yeah their backs are a bit unbalanced - they've got issues at fullback, will bosc be playing there? hope sneyd and connor can exploit it.

losing escare to wigan was a blow for them too i would guess. should be a good forward battle as well

That would be my first choice 17 currently, its going to be a physical battle as usual against Catalans.

Thompson for Turgut on the bench for me - Thompson did nothing wrong at Wakey and impressed in some of the pre-season games. Turgut not done enough yet, to get into the First 17, but his time will come.

Cant see Radford leaving Thompson out
Agree with your line up but Thompson for Turgut on the bench

im expecting catalan forwards to slow the ptb right down due to the conditions and hicks allowing them to!

Yeh completely agree, people putting Turgut in front of Thompson need to have a word with themselves, clueless

Just under 13k sold according to the club, great effort!

Totally agree, Thompson was amazing last year, outstanding in pre season and probably our best forward against Wakey, I'll ignore the fact he missed the most tackles in the team and made 48 metres from 10 carries boasting an impressive 4.8 metres per carry.

No way should a young kid with far more potential who impressed during pre season play in front of Thompson.

I have no problem if Radford plays either, but to call people clueless and have a word with themselves when it isn't really a silly choice, had made you look a bit stupid .

hopefully a few pay on the dayers should get it over 13k then

Wow, weather is going to be terrible. It look like it will really test the pitch drainage!

Forecast to be heavy rain at the start of the game at least.

Conditions will suit us more surely
We had a dress rehearsal at Wakey
