Was there any mention of Fusitua`s absence tonight?

Yes, he said he just wasn't quite right but wouldn't go into details. Said both him, Newman and Martin should be in contention for Wakefield.

If you're talking about his presser he said that both sides were on a short turnaround, and didn't really dwell on that point (I also don't remember him saying not much time to fix things up but could be wrong on that). Didn't sound like any sort of excuses to me.

I'm probably reading too much into it. The bit on not having time was quoted in YP

Catalans were super lazy against wakey last time out. I suspect macnamara might have put a rocket up them this week. Hopefully Agar can lift our lot too. Should be a good contest.

I`m going 24-20 Leeds win.

Re: RD 3 | Catalan Dragons (H) : Thu Feb 24, 2022 7:22 pm  

Going with same outside backs as last week. Clucking bell.

Obviously Broadbent is so far down the pecking order now to not get picked after Briscoe and Walkers shocking display. Only Donaldson dropped for Oconnor and Dwyer back otherwise same again.
Hope they repay the faith shown to them by the coach.

Re: RD 3 | Catalan Dragons (H) : Thu Feb 24, 2022 7:29 pm  

Not much we can change in the pack sadly.
Broadbent should have been given a shot.

Will be good to have Newman,Martin and Fusitua back. Will help reduce the pain of whoever gets banned tonight

Think this proves Broadbent has fallen foul of something. Tindal will have to manufacture some space himself ……

Re: RD 3 | Catalan Dragons (H) : Thu Feb 24, 2022 7:48 pm  

Donaldson a bit of a scapegoat amongst a number who could have lost their spot. Sky certainly whipping up a crisis story.

Re: RD 3 | Catalan Dragons (H) : Thu Feb 24, 2022 7:58 pm  

If O Connor was coming in then it had to be a back row to drop out. Briscoe very lucky to stay in especially at centre. I would have gone with broadbent but Agar possibly concerned about the size of the catalan centres

Looks like another a Forward gone. Hope Mellor is ok
