Re: Next Up - Catalans (H) : Fri Feb 28, 2020 3:35 pm  

My team prediction would be.


Shaul
Mahe
Carlos
Griff
Swifty
Snake
Sneyd
Tag
Mint
Ligi
Ma'u
Jones
Ellis

Satae
Bowden
Fash
Kelly

I'm usually wrong.

That's the team that beat Leeds, but with Mahe in for Ratu, Swift in for Bureta, Fash in for Savelio, Mint in for Johnstone and Kelly in for Lane.

Apologies to Wiz
Got it right about Mau if he plays

Albo at 13 tomorrow
dont get it if true
Just drop Connor to the bench

Re: Next Up - Catalans (H) : Sat Feb 29, 2020 6:33 pm  

I thought Alby would be playing off the bench
I like Johnstone, but think we need another big forward on the bench tomorrow. Doesn’t work with him and Houghton on the pitch at the same time either.

It seems there is only Lee that doesn't agree. Could be a long afternoon.

I'd have thought that if Kelly plays 13, then 4 forwards on the bench is more than likely.

It works for me.
Kelly Connor Sneyd gives us more of an attacking threat.
The pack have struggled last 2 games so any half back would struggle.

Just dont like the idea of Albo getting battered at 13 to give another chance to the Sulking Sultan at 6 which is clearly not working.
Catalan have a big pack and it would have been ideal time to move Ligi into 13 and start Taylor with Bowden in the front row.
Also a good time to give Masi more time on the field off the bench,and getting him to carry more now he has a much stronger pack around him.

kelly at 13 s as ridiculous as houghton at 13. He'll get battered.
