Really other than Saints I haven't seen a te we should not be able to compete with. I admit it's week 1 but the game has changed the last couple of years. For me it's all about discipline something we have not been the best at. Improve that use our assets around our speed and we should go ok.

We have not been the best at discipline over the last few year, hope it's one thing that the coach's have been working on in team talks

Will be interesting to see if the MRP look at the whole Saints v Catalans game as there were other incidents in the match that weren’t picked up by ref and commentary team. Does anyone know if this rule that was allowing Mark Kheirallah to be available exists. Quite a few of ours had covid and wonder if any of the six unvaccinated will be allowed if had it.

If you are unvaccinated you can only travel to France if it's essential. Playing sport doesn't come into it. I believe subject to varification if you are not vaccinated regardless of whether you have had covid or not you cannot play pro sport.

Catalan is an easy game IMO.

We either win or lose. A win is a shock a loss is expected so nothing to lose.

I don’t care so long as we take the game seriously and have a go and by doing so build for the next game and so on.

It’s highly unlikely we can win SL this season but we can build the foundations. Performing in every game is what matters, we will be outperformed often but we should with a bit of luck pick up enough wins to be comfortable.

Anyway here we go again so buckle up

I believe for him to play he had to be fully vaccinated which I expect wasn’t, hence why I presume Huddersfield also had some players missing. If against Catalan we have unvaccinated players they will not be able to travel. The first indication will be the squad when it is announced.

Don't know if you saw the Sky build-up to Toulouse's game yesterday but Jenna Brooks said that Sylvain Houles told her that Kheirallah was unlikely to ever play for Toulouse again.
