I agree they are a very good side.

That said i dont think they break the line all that much as most of their tries come from inside 20 meters its very rare you see Catalans score from long distance.

I mean since they have been in SL

Most of their tries are scored out wide due to either a piece of brilliance from Mogg or a wedge ball to Greenshields.

or a kick from bosc ala against wigan last season for the draw in the last min iirc.

Hall at fullback?

Seen him play there a few times and thought he was terrible to be honest. Just don't see him as a full-back at all.
As much as I wouldn't want to split the half-back pairing up, I think it would be a much better option to have either Horney or Thorman at FB than anyone else at the club. I'd go with Horne, as Thorman is our play-maker. Washy, Hall or Berro at stand-off (if Berro, Houghton at hooker).

Catalans are a very good side who break the line a lot.

Like when? Hall is another Hull player for the fans love to target, Tom Briscoe makes a few mistakes but nobody mentions it, as soon as Hall does everyone is on his back. I watched hall a bit last season and in pre-season and looked pretty good there, esp going forward, caused Leeds alot of problems, be it only a friendly.

To break up our halfback partenship after a prmising start would be a very stupid move IMO, surley we have learnt from last season?

Again which doesnt include a line break and is done close to the line

They have some great backs in Mogg, Bell, Greenshields, Pelo and Bosc. plenty of skill and power, they have a few out int he forwards and might not have a recognised hooker playing, I think like the Wigan game we can beat them in the forwards.

It looks that way but that said i was really impressed with J-P Baille on Saturday.

I agree about a forward game is probably our best way of beating them as like Celtic their forwards are not that mobile especially Ferriol and Croker.
