No Hartill again, did he do something really bad. Pretty sure there will be players in this squad done far worse.

Ratchford did OK at dummy half last week and I expected him to play there again on Saturday BUT there is a possibility that King may miss the game through injury (Hopefully he will remember to take his passport) and hence Ratchford may be playing centre instead.

I`ve no idea what Harthill has done wrong but it looks to me that missing the trip to France is part of his punishment.  

If Crowther is at 9 again, it's a recipe for disaster.


Poor passing from dummy half = knock ons, pressure on kicker, no go forward = exhaustion + hot weather = defeat


Ratchford at 9, and either Gardner to centee or Ben C at centre, Wood/Harrison at 13.

Crowther will be the first name on the team sheet. Probably be captain next season after signing a new 4 year deal.

Lets get one thing clear...Ben Hartill has done nothing wrong whatsoever. He has a very bright future at the club, we just need to be patient. He is very highly though of.

Thank you. Good to know. 

Yeah after last weeks S#!T show i can only see a drumming on the cards, even with how bad Catalans have been this year.

Never going to be easy despite them playing so badly this year. They stuffed a revitalised Hudds only a couple of weeks back.

It’s in our hands really. A win tomorrow and we’re one point behind 6th having Hull to play. And Hull play Wigan next week. 


I would keep Ratchford at 14 but get him into the game late in the first half too, rather than waiting for the last 20 like last week. Discipline is Catalan’s biggest concern, and we can pick up some penalties at the ruck and let them get frustrated. 


Just need to start well, not even score but just take control of the tempo and build into the game. If we turn over the ball as much as last week, there’s not enough penalties in the world to save us. 

Catalans will have this as one of their big summer games and the two recti will be keen to put a dent in us. It will be a tough game in (if the forecast is correct) steamy, stormy conditions.

If we make so many errors as v Salford in first half we have no hope. I think we were putting the effort in but it doesn't always mean you catch the ball. Difficult to play as badly as that though ... he said.
