So the 21 man squad is out, bit disappointed as with Connor out I'd have liked to have seen Balmforth at least given a shot to spell Houghton and had Lovodua in the halfs to try and at least look like we might offer some attacking flair.

Adam Swift
Carlos Tuimavave
Josh Griffin
Darnell McIntosh
Josh Reynolds
Luke Gale
Ligi Sao
Danny Houghton
Chris Satae
Manu Ma'u
Jordan Lane
Joe Lovodua
Brad Fash
Kane Evans
Jack Brown
Jordan Johnstone
Connor Wynne
Cam Scott
Jamie Shaul
Mitieli Vulikijapani
Charlie Severs.

Not the team I'd go with but reckon it'll be something like this

Shaul
Swift
Griffin
Carlos
McIntosh
Reynolds
Gale
Sao
Houghton
Evans
Lane
Mau
Lovodua

Satae
Fash
Brown
Johnstone

Really disappointing squad, players keeping their place and not giving a chance to the youth.

Our 1, 6 and 7 have very little creativity, out of form and none will be here next season.

My thoughts exactly Dave and disappointed BH hasn't gone and shaken things up a little in terms of selection to wake a few of them up.

I appreciate its Catalans and going to be a tough and physical game but the lack of changes is very disappointing

We don't know what team he's gonna pick. Can see Shaul FB. Swift Mac wings. Tuime Wynne centres. Gale Lovodua half's. Sao Houghton Evans. Mau lane Brown. Subs satue Griffin Johnstone Fash. All guess work really

Well if he picks from that squad, I'm sure there be at least 1 or 2 players that don't deserve to be in the 17.

Big test for Hodgson now, ourcseason collapsed when Connor got injured last season, this season that can't happen, if it does he surley can't keep his job, two seasons finishing below 6th?

Re: Cats Away : Thu Jun 09, 2022 3:45 pm  

We may lose Saturday. But I think we will still finish in top 6.

I don't mind losing this week, we will have probably lost with Connor playing, but we can't collapse in the league like last year.

I hope you are right about the 6, but I just can't see where our trys are coming from.

Big named players have to step up in the next few weeks.

Totally agree. Despite the Wakefield loss we are 5th which is acceptable. Not that ambitious but I'll take that for now. Losing Connor is a big blow but most clubs lose key players so you can't use that as an excuse.

We are not capable of winning the competition anytime soon but we need to show signs of progress. Not qualifying for the play-offs would be an abject failure and Hodgson's position should be untenable.
