after watching the Catalan v Wire game, we need to stop their backs bringing the ball out off their line, seems they relied on their speed and agility to get up field quite easily.

I'll be taking the 21 points start as a kinda novelty bet.
May even pop $2 on the 11/1 for a laugh.
Have we ever been 11/1 to win a match? I remember in 2005 we were 3/1 to win the CC final in Cardiff.


(Remember you lose more than you win when gambling)

Be interesting to see the odds on us v London next, I could be tempted to back London. Probably more bans and injuries coming this week.

Wasn't as big a fan as some others, but I would defiantly look to sign Longstaff until the end of the year, nothing to lose and gives us cover in our two weakest areas.

Seems he could be tempted to make a comeback, going by his social media posts.

Not for me, not good enough. Another player who looked ok in another rubbish side that was decimated by injuries and largely poor as usual.

Think Longstaff has moved to Dubai. He'd be well off the pace if he came back. As much as I liked him when he was here I'd rather us get a few games into Jebson/Staveley etc.

Not for me personally, would rather play our young players ahead of Longstaff, such as Severs, Jebson and Staveley.
The position currently we have a major issue is centre.

Think we have to be happy with Pele's outcome of three games, good to see common sense prevail with Ligi. Shame about Cam Scott good player but suffers with a lot of niggling injuries. Providing no more suspensions or injuries we should have enough for London IMO. Cator another lots of injuries unfortunately. Might be a positive seeing what these young lads are capable of.

Was thinking more as a Centre, as currently we have 4 Centre's all made of biscuit.

Played a few times at centre last season.

Whilst I do expect an improved performance I think it's a case of playing for pride and giving the youngsters some valuable experience. Then hopefully we can have a few back for the London game and can get our season up and running in that one.

It would be a famous win if we did go there and turned them over, but after last week and the players that are missing that would be a miracle. I just want to see us have a good dig, and maybe score a try or two.

Can’t remember the last time bookies were giving us a 20 point start. Still don’t fancy it.
