Catalans are missing a few.
Bird, Bosc, Ryles and Croker

Only Croker for sure out, high chance all 3 in bold will play.

Wilkin won't play this weekend and the week after at Catalans in the league game. Gilmour a major doubt for this weekend also.

Just been listening to a short interview with Potter on Radio Merseyside. He said Wilkin had had a minor clean out of the knee and will be missing for another couple of weeks and that Gilmore had taken a knock to the knee last weekend and they were waiting to see how he went this week before naming the squad. Let's hope he is OK because we could do with him being fit for this coming match. A league match we can catch up on but not the CC game.

Good chance for these boys to shine, a couple of my mates (who can actually play rugby unlike me) don't rate Ashurst at all, I think he seems ok though

My friends are convinced he isnt big enough. I say he's young and can get on the weights, but what do i know

As I said before he has talent and I have no doubt Potter will be having him on the weights. I think he will steadily improve year on year and we could have a great back rower on our hands if he trains hard enough.

Cloughy weren't the biggest when he first came through, but look at him now.

Bird won't be playing. He was in a mess against Leeds and had to be taken off. His hamstring's causing him problems. I don't know about the remaining two. On Boots'n'All they were saying they wouldn't be playing. I hope they don't play! It will help us to have their best kicker out and some of their beefy boys not available, since we look far from beefy by comparison (to pretty much everyone except Salford I think!).

He's only 15 and a bit stone, hardly massive. I really rate Cloughy so dont get me wrong, but we need forwards who are 16st + if they are fast like Cloughy and even bigger if they are battering rams. Jammer is over 16 and a half and Tony P is about 17st, thats how they are so effective.
