Catalans for this one.

[Chrispmartha]

Would be one hell if a win for us looking at the squad.

 

Stranger things have happened.

[Loiner]

Catalans at a canter.

[Harry Stottle]

When was the last time Catalan lost 3 on the bounce?

No chance of it happening this week.

It hurts to say but Cats by 18

Lots of people underestimating this Leeds team. I like it.

It's only a couple of months since Leeds saw off Catalans at home and Smith has already coached the team to two wins at Gilbert Brutus in his two years in charge.

Will be interesting to see how he goes at 6 which is where he played for Canberra.

I think we’ve got too many out to get over Cats but just hope we give it a good crack and the kids who are in play well

Yeah I wonder if he'll switch sides or Sinfield will. Hopefully he bounces back from the disappointment of the past fortnight.

I agree, just got to be a good performance here. Catalans are beatable, but we'd have to play well and rely on a meltdown from them as we have seen in the past. We do seem to be a bit of a bogey team for them too recently.

Think they've got a few out too to be fair

although having looked they have pretty much their first choice 1-17

I'm not a betting man but for some reason Leeds have a mental hold on Catalan 

Leeds need to drop Sangare for Tom What's his name ....Sangare had enough chances now ...don't think I've ever seen him win a ruck 

Sinfield to run the show and sneak a win for Whinos
