Please stick to discussing the match in question and do not accuse match officials of being biased or corrupt or you run the risk of being immediately banned from the forum.

We've actually had some really good results in the past going away to Catalans with a depleted team. I don't really see a repeat, although I do expect us to put in an improved performance.

Catalans by 12

Catalans by 18.

This is the proverbial 'peau de banane' for Catalans.  I expect them to edge home, nevertheless, but by fewer than ten.

That's outrageous!

Les Cats are playing Hull FC, a "Potential banana skin" is when a team plays a "struggling" team and.....

Ah, okay, I seem to be coming around to your line of thinking...

[Old Frightful]

So....all away wins up to now and the Pies in the capital tomorrow...

No pressure then.

l have a feeling that Hull will sneak this after their gallant comeback last week against the plucky Broncos. Another away victory is on the cards.

I'm having a Boston moment that you're a considerable way off what will actually happen.

[Worzel]

I’m very much looking forward to this one, should be very entertaining 

[ATLANTISMAN]

Off in around 3 hours raining heavily here in Spain (I am 35 mins from the stadium)

I probably won't be entertained as my eyes will no doubt be shut for most of it.

To be fair Catalans looked clunky last week, anything's possible in a two-horse race. Although we did send Agent Abdul over primarily for this match. 

[Ullman]

Ashworth and Gardiner on the bench for Hull.

Just need Adam Dykes to make his comeback.

[Chrispmartha]

Im calling it - Hull FC to upset Catalans with a narrow win…

 

 

or they get hammered

Ill go for my latter prediction

[MZH]

Just when I thought we couldn't stoop any lower.

[bratman]

Oh dear, noone laid a hand on McMeekan?

[DavidM]

Thought Hull were a bit unlucky with that mess in the ptb at the other end . Could have been ruled  a pen in the ruck and sin bin as they were on a roll . Now Dragons score again 

[JohnM]

FC obviously not used to the rain.

[Worzel]

Hahahaah that was comical. Catalans grounded it so it was dead anyway. And then Hull FC bounced the ball afterwards.

Hull try, obviously

[JohnM]

But good enough to score. 12-6 after 18 mins. 

[Chrispmartha]

Scrappy game

[Chrispmartha]

Lucky that’s not a red

[GeordieSaint]

Ufffff Ashworth is looking to stay in the game there. That’s an example of what they are trying to outlaw. That said, there’s an argument Satae could have gone too - stepped into Ashworth!
