Catalans today : Sun Jun 06, 2010 10:05 am  

The result of this game is really important for Rovers season, I think. A win puts us back in the play-off spots and will raise spirits. A second defeat to the cellar dwellers will knock confidence, and leave us a little off the pace.
They'll be desperate for the 2 points, so it'll be a tough game. Just depends which Rovers team turns up...

28-16, Rovers

Itll be a tough game, but i'm sorry, the way KR has played lately, especially from the front line I can see another defeat.

Catalans have a massive pack and they are very physical, the weather conditions will be in favour of the dragons as they will play down the middle and win the battle.

I take it you've seen rovers at craven park then or have you just watched our hammerings on TV? Totally different game today and I fancy us to win.

I think you will get the result, your weeks break should stand you in good stead against a bottom side.

Re: Catalans today : Sun Jun 06, 2010 11:00 am  

Think Rovers will win today Catalans have all but written off the league this year and have put all their eggs firmly in the Challenge Cup basket.

Rovers have far more motivation today and should win with a bit to spare.

Apart from Colbon and Walker (who has not featured anyway), we have the best side out we can get today, so if we lose (or loose!!!) to the bottom side in SL at home we are in big trouble for going forward as apart from a six coming in we are likely to be 95% the same squad for 2011.

Re: Catalans today : Sun Jun 06, 2010 11:13 am  

Rovers will win comfy IMO.

As Knocker says. Les Cats have more or less given up on the league and will be going for the cup.

They have some good players in their team though, they have a big pack and players like Bosc and Pelo are very dangerous, but if Rovers play wellm there will only be one winner.

Apart from Colborn full strength team?

I agree. What worries me is that it only takes an unlucky bounce or call from the officials, and an early injury leaving you playing with 16, then the game takes on a completely different complexion.
On recent form, I'm not sure how well we can bounce back from a difficult start. The effort will be there, I'm not so sure about the confidence.
