Providing we are fresh and not feeling the the effects from a physical game v Catalan we should win comfortably. London by 4 scores

We literally threw the game away last time we came down to Ealing but we are a bit in transition (new coach, some new players) at the moment and London look in top form so think we are up against it here. Can see a high-scoring game, we showed some glimmers of promise on attack against Leigh, but no surprise if London score plenty against us.

Featherstone pushed us hard the last time we played them. Although we managed to win. A win is what we need again this weekend and by a decent score. Let us build up our points difference

Agreed. I feel we need to win by 30points. I believe we can but Featherstone see us along with fax as their best chance to get two points so I expect they will want it as much as us. Should be a good game!

Let's hope we don't have a blip similar to the post Toulouse game. Fev are a good side and with a new coach will probably bring new attacking ideas. They 'had us' for 70 mins at Ealing towards the end of the season. Looking forward to it. Lets hope the weather picks up.

They really need to focus to win this.... It's a must 2 points... Yes points difference is important, but if we try to score with every possession we will lose... Key for me is keep focus, stop silly penalites, complete sets, win the field position and we will win the game....

Have to win this, if anything we have all the pressure this week, and fev have none... Need to be clinical and make fitness count.

I always worried about this game, simply because we were never expected to win in Perpignan and that would put us behind the 8 ball, meaning this is a must win. We didn't win in Perpignan but we put up a great performance, but that will amount to nothing on Sunday if we lose. Fev generally give is a close, tough game and there will be no different on Sunday.

I am guessing Channing will be injured and one of the other boys was struggling. Positives are Barthau got 80mins under his belt. No idea how Fev are set with DR, but they may bolster with a few Leeds boys.
