Sat 10th June : SL : Catalans Dragons v Hull Kingston Rovers KO 19:00 (local) 18:00 (UK)

[Old Frightful]

Discuss the SL game between Catalans Dragons and Hull Kingston Rovers here.

[Davo5]

Catalans by 10.

[Cw25]

Catalans 24-22 Hull KR

[Arizonared]

I can't see anything past a Catalan win. It's shame that we seem to have continued our tradition of serious injuries too.

[DavidM]

Dragons by 16

[Harry Stottle]

After Magic Cats must be full of confidence and KR not so much, can't see past a Cats win.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Catalans by 18.

[Josef K]

I didn’t realise HKR had dropped down the league so much. I can’t see past a Catalans win, Catalans by 14. 

[MZH]

Hull KR haven't played too badly in any of their recent defeats (they weren't great against Salford tbf) but the confidence and momentum they had is evaporating and they now play the best team in the league away from home.

Catalans by 18

Threadbare squad travelling to Catalans on a hope and a prayer. Can't see a win this weekend, our season re-starts the weekend after. 

That said, where there's two teams in a match and Jordan Abdul on the pitch, there's always a chance eh. That's why I'll be at Heathrow at 5am on Saturday likely still drunk after a company event that's due to wrap up at 3am...

Safe journey fella but I'm clearly going to stop short of wishing you luck...

Sloppy planning - next year makes sure the company event is in Perpignan.

Just mention team building and some other buzzwords to HR.

If I told you it was originally 2 weeks before, until our esteemed CEO booked a holiday that week despite a 300 person event being scheduled, and his reaction was to move the fckng event…. would you believe me? 

I was originally coming out on Thurs, now it’s the 7.15am to Toulouse, a hire car and a 2 and a half hour drive

Round about the same time Old Frightful will be waking up in a bus depot in Beverley wondering where the chuffin' 'ell he is.

As my good friend says, safe journey feller.

[Liverpool Rover]

Even with the missing players it is still a strong 21 man squad that has been made and Abdulls return is such a boost as he has been such a miss for us. Winning is a tall order but I don't think that it is going to be a battering.

Sounds easier just to have had the CEO clipped? 

Is your CEO Ralph Rimmer?

Is this on TV locally?

Thank you.

Was curious as to whether it was on TV locally so I could look for a feed.

With accompanying youtube vid later on this weekend ? 

[Old Frightful]

Les Cats 12 Hull KR 0 for anybody without Sky updates.

[Sandy]

Catalans 20 - Hull KR 0. Half time. Abdull off, looks like his hamstring has gone again. Jack Walker off with HIA. Bousquet 10 minutes in the bin for the incident.

[Sandy]

It was Goudemond who was binned. It's going to be a long second half.
