[R16] Tigers v Catalans

Matt

26 June | KO: 3.30pm

Not an easy match, hopefully the break will have given us time to sort out some of our defensive issues.

Swagger

I would take 1 win vs Catalan or Huddersfield. 2 wins would be a shock. Expecting 0 wins but that will probably drop us back to 7th or 8th.

tigerfeat2

I've got a feeling we will get hammered they look a far better team than us

Maturecasfan

They are fitter and faster than us in every department
Can only see a loss.
But let’s hope for a miracle.

Jackknife

Id be happy with 1 win from our next 2 but the way we go we'll get hammered against Catalan possibly lose a few to injury then lose to Huddersfield because of it.

(🙏 try to be positive 🙏 )

Pat

Looks like we will be without macca for a while lifting legs in tackle although it was just a penalty.

Maturecasfan

Not sure why he played.
Took his club form into todays game.
He’s a million miles from his MOS performances.
Makes you wonder if his relationship with radford is not a good one.
Seems his heart is not in it at the minute.

Maturecasfan got his big contract = cue on rack

Swagger

Maturecasfan don't think its Radford. Hes been poor for quite sometime now.

tigerfeat2

I don't understand world cup year and he was in pole position at start of season to be no 9 come the World Cup and he's just played like a shadow of his former self

HuddsTigers

There was an article over the weekend - he blames having no pre-season, and having to get up to speed for his form.

Probably also doesn’t help that the pack has been garbage this year and he’s constantly playing with different halves too.

But I blame the pack - they aren’t winning collisions and getting Macca the space to do what he does best

mdean

He was noticeably poor on Sat'd. That being said, form is temporary and all that!

Swagger

Mamo back for this one? Pretty sure he was missing 2 games then coming back for Catalan.

Fumper27

Swagger that’s what was said when he was allowed to go back home….

Hirsty

Swagger both Mamo and Evalds are on photographs of the squad training this week... hopefully we'll have a reasonably strong squad for LR to pick from.

SuffolkTiger

Any kind of win in this one would signal that the squad was up for the scrap in the second half the year and galvanise the hope of us having some involvement in the play offs.

Even a narrow defeat but a gutsy effort would keep the pot boiling.

as game day approaches i am falling into my usual optimistic stance

Cas to win by 8

mdean

pirate Wish I had your optimism Pirate!

If we stay within 8 I will be surprised personally. They're a tough challenge.

Swagger

Decent squad but Catalans is top notch. Very tough game ahead but who knows

Matt

Swagger

Would hope we’re able to keep them close. Worried they’ll expose our edge defence though, hopefully we’ve worked on it more during the time off.
