Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Replace McMeekin, concussion will rule him out has not had seven clear days.
Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Could play Thursday, return to play is day 6 post game which will be Thursday with Saturday being day 1. With our depth I don’t think there’s any need to rush back anyone who has taken a knock or has failed a head check in game.

The Firm wrote:Clare would be a good back up option but he isn’t really a first choice for a team that wants to wins things. He lacks the pace to turn the 50-50’s into tries. For me Mason Caton Brown has got that ‘X factor’ that could make a difference in that respect. I’d be making a move to get him in.
Caron Brown would be a good back up option, I wouldn’t have him in my strongest 13 if we ever did sign him.
Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Mason Caton Brown = no improvement on any of our current wingers.
I really don't think Clare is doing a bad job, just need to back himself a little more sometimes

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Head test ruling is, does l believe state a minimum of 144 hours.
So l believe this rules McMeekin out, but l would be happy to be proved wrong.
(Did l really say that! )

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Lightning pace is a priority for our coach in the past...he kept selecting Kirk Dixon! What he lacked in pace he could finish especially from close range.
Besides the last winger for us who appeared to have all the attributes we want in a winger ended up retiring from the sport!

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Fully agree on the Makinson front but more realistically a player plus cash deal for Johnstone at Trinity might prove a better long term option, has pace,good under the high ball and is a good finisher,defence needs a bit of work but he has the talent to go all the way.And still there's the small matter of Lewis Carr who given a chance may well shock a few people.tigerfeat wrote:Yeah hope we get him before he goes to oztakethetwo wrote:Two Tommy Makinsons would do for me lol.
Best winger in the comp in my opinion, got everything.

Kieron Dixon??? Don’t think he’s much better than MCB who many on here have said we should stay away from.flow wrote:would like the lad on the London wing at cas straight swap for Clairelurcher wrote:just watched the highlights of todays game mate and it needs a lot. shocking defence on wakey flanksHepworth7 wrote:Fully agree on the Makinson front but more realistically a player plus cash deal for Johnstone at Trinity might prove a better long term option, has pace,good under the high ball and is a good finisher,defence needs a bit of work but he has the talent to go all the way.And still there's the small matter of Lewis Carr who given a chance may well shock a few people.tigerfeat wrote:Yeah hope we get him before he goes to oztakethetwo wrote:Two Tommy Makinsons would do for me lol.

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
I couldn't find a weak link in the side on Friday. How people can moan is beyond me, but it does show where there loyalties lie.
Catalans left edge of Smith, Edwards, Williame and Tierney is there first team that scored the true last year, minus Smith add Drinkwater. Against our replacement second row, a believed weakness in clare and minikin.
They only scored when piggy backed down field on dubious calls.
Catalans will be no pushover this year and we just did a number on them.
Great game, great crowd, especially with the temperature.

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Everyone who debates your comments flow wears tinted glasses, so through mine I see a salary capped sport where costs have to be balanced and prioritised. Every team in the league can improve the squad with uncontrolled spending, but every team has journeymen in some positions.flow wrote:because some people don't wear tinted glasses and debate how we can improve are very good team just need a few more editions to proper challenge for top prize you question there loyalties mmmmmmm very strange commentmart0042 wrote:I couldn't find a weak link in the side on Friday.

To be honest it's a bit silly to say anyone who dosnt agree with everything that happens at cas therefore can't be a cas supporter

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
I’d rather a strong squad than a team of 17 superstars that leaves us up shi creak when the inevitable injuries start to creep in. Not sure if that I means I wear hipster sunglasses?

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Maybe I’m rose tinted, but have to say I’m happy with the way our backs performed. As a club, we’re not awash with cash, but I trust DP to make the most of what resources he has at his disposal!

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
Don't see many journeymen in the Wolves or Saints sides and they manage to have good strength in depth all achieved with the same SC as Cas and our squad in terms of experience is not as deep as it as been over the last few seasons.cogito ergo sum wrote:Everyone who debates your comments flow wears tinted glasses, so through mine I see a salary capped sport where costs have to be balanced and prioritised.

Re: 1st up Les Catalans
First game of the season and a win against a side that many people are predicting a good season for. Almost kept a clean sheet too. Catalans ran big and strong but couldn’t get through our defence. For me the defence was why we won.
I couldn’t really fault anyone’s effort on Friday and we will improve as the season goes on. We will play better sides but we will be better than we were of Friday.
We even had a poor referee in charge yet we still defended outstanding. Does anyone know what the penalty count was?
Take it for what it was, a solid performance, a good win and a dec it crowd considering who we played. Happy with what I saw.
