should be a cracker.

We have been renowned as slow starters over the years but the first few matches this season wont afford us that luxury.

Way too early to be a finals footy indicator but would be nice to mug them away again.

Let's get Daryl Millard on the bench just to keep them honest after the buzzer.

Can't call it tbh. Probably lean towards Saints, just, but likely to be the first of a thrilling series of several games this season

Meanwhile, in Toulouse. For their first SL game, TO go with:

Vaivai, Marcon, Albert, Navarrete, White, Dixon, Peyroux, Marion, Pelissier, Puech, Bretherton, Paulo, Garbutt, Cunningham, Bergal, Hankinson, Sangare, Armitage, Russell, Gigot, Stefani.

Go on Tone !!!

The Udders:

Pryce, Wardle, Lolohea, Fages, Hill, Levi, Jones, McQueen, Yates, English, Greenwood, Trout, Ikahihifo, O'Brien, Roberts, Cudjoe, L Senior, Russell, I Senior, Ashworth, Ashall-Bolt

Awful, awful debut from Napa. Wasn’t impressed with any of the new recruits actually. It can only get better…

Sin bin in the first minute doesn't set much of a tone

Wasnt impressed with Cats style for the firtst 10 mins whilst they had a player in the bin, very negative play, Catalans need to play to their strengths and play positive, and slowing the play down as well is something that back fires in the end.

Napa likely to spend as much time in the stands than on the field if he carries on tackling like that.

Interesting to see this about the kid in Dragons gear getting abuse. Well, interesting not the right word, but you know what I mean hopefully.
The stories from them first couple of seasons.... We got moved at Wakey for our own safety. At Salford, got told by someone that they "hope our plane home crashes". etc
