Away win. Salford's backline to wreak havoc in the South of France and Slim to have a very sore head the next day.

[Cw25]

Catalans 38-18 Salford

[Harry Stottle]

After the way O'Brien went round Tomkins last week, I think Sam could be in for a very torrid time this week, it could also highlight why we do not need him as our last line of defence come the WC.

[Loiner]

Let's be fair Catalans are pants. Salford playing really good rugby league, SRD by +12

[muckymunksy]

Catalans by 4

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Catalans by 8.

Salford by a baguette and a croissant, with Sam, should he play, made to look like a croched monsieur.

[Oxford]

It seems like I'm dreaming when I'm thinking we can win whereever we go and people even agree on social media forums.

SRD can be hot and cold though and Les Dracs at home is a difficult ask these days.

I'll stick with being nervous until the finish and praying for a good outcome.

Catalans by 12

Me too, but I'll skip the 'praying' on religious grounds.

[Agbrigg]

Cant stand McNamara, hope Salford stuff em

[Father Ted]

Dear Oxford, please stop dreaming of the spires and being nervous about the most exciting team in SuperLeague. For any Salford fan the world is our 'lobster' at the moment!

I'll pray for you, you're good mate Pete

I never have to Dream of the spires as the wife loves Morse and Lewis.

Is this on radio or telly? Or is it another couple of nervous hours watching twitter?

Just nervy, anxious and scary especially as Les Dracs have a few important returnees.

Bit toasty here today. Forecast for it still to be 31/32 at kick off but luckily we've shown we can cope with the heat as we're a pretty fit bunch. Hopefully their big boys will tire in the 2nd half and leave gaps for us to exploit. 

Still feeling confident (which must be the 1st time ever over here!) but that could well be false optimism!

Currently taking in the beautiful surroundings of the Pyrenees foothills on a bloody lovely, leather seated, air-conditioned CST coach. It's definitely helping to ease last night's hangover.

Very disappointed it's not on TV. Could be a great contest and would have loved to have been able to watch it.

I want SRD to win obviously but I hope you're right and it should be a really good game.

It's particularly disappointing because your team are such an entertaining side to watch at the moment.
