Catalans we're dire on Friday. They've got to improve. But Leigh still to win, Leigh by 12.

[Thunder Road]

Got last 4 Leigh predictions wrong. 

I'm going for Leigh by 3 scores    

[Leyther_Matt]

So much is going to depend on Leigh’s interchange selections. Play a forward might as has been the case for much of the season and we’re in trouble. Sort that and Leigh by 14. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Leigh by 18, there seems to be something seriously wrong in the Catalans' camp.

[Snowys Backside]

Leigh to play the most mobile pack and have the biggest mobile bench available to them !!

 

Going to feel like a Home game and gutted i cannot be there. Dont care by how many, but Leigh to win.

[Harry Stottle]

31° at 5pm on Saturday, phew what a scorcher!

Hopefully that will resemble Leigh's performance, for weeks people have been saying Catalan will turn around their fortunes, just hope it isn't this week that they wake up from their slumber, still fancy Leigh will be to much for them winning by at least 2 scores.

A narrow win for Leigh will do me.

[Thunder Road]

Catalan get 8 start with sky bet...

Nailed on bench of McNamara, Davis, Hodgson and Joffa or Trout. 

[Zilla Budgie]

Brad Dwyer won't be playing.....unless he's on a roof in Perpignan!!

Well Hughes almost certain to be on the bench I’d imagine, plus Alec- no Davis or mcmanara (take your pick) and hodgson is either in the 13 or not in at all

We’ll see. He’s picked a back on the bench most weeks, and chances are McNamara will move to second hooker and Davis to interchange prop.

As much as I appreciate the way Matt Davies gets stuck in when he comes on, if as an interchange prop he is expected to play as a middle then that won't work, if he is coming on to play a different game to a middle then we will be short of a middle.

Matt is 5'-10" and barely 15 stone, he will be up agains big units such as Pangai Jr, Bousquet, Satae, Dezaria et al.

Agree with this, and i feel Davis will miss out.

McNamara will either start or be benched as Ipape's interchange.

Can see playing pretty expansive stuff on Saturday with the big boys blowing out of their backsides.

Hopefully, why battle when you can let the ball do the work, an old saying I used with my charges was 'A pass beats a man every time' use it as often as possible.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Saints win over Leeds and Wakey’s win over Wigan opens things up for Leigh maybe.

Can see them cashing in and trying to get on a roll.

Leigh by 20

Pike and Amor I think.

[bratman]

Catalans have started pretty well!

[JohnM]

Amor is usually ok but today he sounds like he flew over with the Leigh team in the Tiger Moth.

Edited June 21 by JohnM

[bratman]

Much much better from Catalans. Amor not happy with the timing of the water break 

[Szymala]

At last Leigh put it together for Tesi Niu to get the first score, 6-0.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Wakefield fans are well familiar with the "rub of the green" that Leigh appear to be benefiting from again this week 

Catalans are so poor they don't really need it

[Loiner]

Can't understand who at catalans thinks Joel Tomkins might make a good coach, wasn't even a good player.
