RD 3 | Catalan Dragons (H) : Sat Feb 19, 2022 4:51 pm  

Need to get the points on the board and it isn’t getting any easier.

Agar confirms Fusitua, Newman and Dwyer will be back next week which is big news. Handley and Smith added to the injury list, hopefully they aren’t too bad.

Walker
Fusitua Newman Sutcliffe Briscoe
Austin Sezer
Tetevano Leeming Prior
Mellor Gannon
O’Connor

Dwyer Donaldson Thompson Oledzki

Tindall, Broadbent, Johnson, Simpson drop out

Handley, Bentley, Myler, Smith, Holroyd, Walters, Mustapha missing.

I'd like Agar too show a bit of ruthlessness and give the young players with potential a chance I respect Briscoe and he's been a great servant but if Fusitu'a & Newman are both available for this game I would be dropping him from the backline & not Tindall. I'd also be dropping Thompson who was awful for the 10 mins he was on against Wigan but the injuries too our pack will probably see him keep a place on the bench. I'd have a back on the bench either Briscoe or Broadbent incase of injuries in game it would be better than having too put a hooker in the centres.

I'd go for

Walker
Fusitu'a
Newman
Sutcliffe
Tindall
Austin
Sezer
Tetevano
Leeming
Prior
Gannon
Mellor
O'Connor

Subs
Oledzki
Dwyer
Briscoe/ Broadbent
Donaldson

No way should Tindall be left out. Did the only exciting thing for us all game. If Broadbent isn’t called into left centre then I will believe the rumours of a fall out. Your just can’t justify Sutty or Briscoe at centre anymore. I’d rather we lost and blooded some faster/ more exciting players.

Re: RD 3 | Catalan Dragons (H) : Sat Feb 19, 2022 6:38 pm  

I’d agree re dropping Thompson but we need another forward to replace him. Could Mustapha be recalled and get a chance?

Rumours of a fall out?

I listened and have followed what folk on here were saying. Does that not count? I’ve also watched plenty of games with those two at centre over the years, and know that we will get nowhere this season unless we make a change there.
I’m not basing it just on the Wigan game…..

Re: RD 3 | Catalan Dragons (H) : Sat Feb 19, 2022 7:42 pm  

Fwiw I think Briscoe is a good back up winger, and Sutty a good half back who can pressure Austin and Sezer…..
