Bad for him, good for us

I am so pleased to see Barthau is back in the squad. I hope he is in because he is fit to play, not for his language skills.

If he is fit to play it will be interesting to see the final 17.
Who will be the 2 omitted??

My thoughts entirely.

I am traveling there tomorrow hoping for a win. However if we lose, we lose. Last year we lost to Leigh first up and that season ended okay.
If we are going to make it back to Super League, then the standard that we will have to achieve will be that or higher than Catalans.
We just have to learn from the experience.

I would leave Barthau and Evans out for this one. Roqica has had his best games in the last 2 (starting to drive harder and show more aggression) and think it would be good for him and us to carry on that momentum. He would also be more of a handful for a SL side to handle. Barthau, I would prefer to give an extra week rest/training and bring him back (potentially) stronger next week. It's a great feeling to be in the position when we are struggling to pick the 17 because of how good everybody currently is!

Ok so the poster got the wording wrong.
Gigot has been suspended for a drugs test related issue.
There are just some folk that you don't argue with in the world, in this case drugs testing officials, just nod say yes sir no sir and smile. Argue with em or make there lives difficult then you get what you deserve.
For those going to Perpignan this weekend, the nice blokes sat in passport control smile do as they ask and go on your way, am sure we all generally do this, it's the same principle.
