Lets get one thing clear...Ben Hartill has done nothing wrong whatsoever. He has a very bright future at the club, we just need to be patient. He is very highly though of.

Never going to be easy despite them playing so badly this year. They stuffed a revitalised Hudds only a couple of weeks back.

It’s in our hands really. A win tomorrow and we’re one point behind 6th having Hull to play. And Hull play Wigan next week. 


I would keep Ratchford at 14 but get him into the game late in the first half too, rather than waiting for the last 20 like last week. Discipline is Catalan’s biggest concern, and we can pick up some penalties at the ruck and let them get frustrated. 


Just need to start well, not even score but just take control of the tempo and build into the game. If we turn over the ball as much as last week, there’s not enough penalties in the world to save us. 

Catalans will have this as one of their big summer games and the two recti will be keen to put a dent in us. It will be a tough game in (if the forecast is correct) steamy, stormy conditions.

If we make so many errors as v Salford in first half we have no hope. I think we were putting the effort in but it doesn't always mean you catch the ball. Difficult to play as badly as that though ... he said.

I think you will find that it's either recta or rectums but I get your point, we are in the unenviable position of quite a few teams marking their 'dance card' when they play us.
