Well I've been quite impressed by the way we played in the last 2 games, impressed by the improvement that is.
Injuries aside, we made marked gains in intensity/endurance, cats are pressure grinders that's their shtick, but for the errors in the 2nd half the scoreline would have been a lot closer, we went set for set with them for long periods.
Its down to chezzy to break their shtick up because I doubt we can set for set them for the 80 without bad calls and ****ups.
Due to the short turnaround, at least we know what they're going to try do, who their match ups are and who their form players are.
I've got nothing but positive thoughts about the game, but the injuries are dulling that edge for sure.

Surprisingly strong squad jowitt , senior ashall bott , eaves all added together with tupo - woods is also in team

Wonder if max is going to play in the halves , with bott at full back interesting to see who plays in centre and wing personally would bring in tupo on one wing and leave kershaw on other

Pretty much all the forwards are fit other than ashurst , wood

Agreed.

Assuming they are all genuinely fit that's a fairly strong team. In truth, TJ is the only serious omission. If Eaves is anything like decent that's Wood loss rectified.

We shall see.

Yeah it’s pretty strong. I would say Jowitt will definitely play at Stand off looking at the team.

I won’t say we will go into it favourites but I don’t want to underestimate the fact we are playing in our own back yard.

If we play with the defensive attitude like against hull and show more a bit more composure at key moments in the game we could get something out of this. Last game before a break. Time to throw everything at them and get our first win of the season to kick start us.
