Dupree is the most natural fit for 2nd row IMO but it'll be interesting to see what Peet's back up plan is.

Yea or could Ellis do a job for us there. Stick O’Neil at 13 and Leeming at dummy half. Or stick chan on to replace Dupree if he’s tired

Mago has gone well at loose too when he's played there.

Was the Nsemba tackle the one where the Cas player went off injured? If it was he’ll certainly pick up a ban. Not malicious but poor technique.

If we end up having to shoe horn somebody in I'd probably go for Miski, no idea what his in the middle defence is like and he probably doesn't know either but I wouldn't have any worries about his carting the ball up ability.
Who knows though, maybe MP will decide to give one of the young lads who played in the reserves yesterday a crack.

Beardsworth would be the best option from the Reserves, defence is excellent but go forward is not (just yet). TBH I think they will go with Chan.

If he gets a ban for that I can only say it’s an absolutely pish rule.

What game am I actually watching

The way the game is now its a definite ban. I thought the cas player was really unlucky to get 5 for the Isa tackle last week. So im expecting something similar depending how long the player is out for.

I dont agree that should come into the ban but it does .

Looks like Nsemba hasn't been cited and is free to play on Friday.

Lucky escape and I’ll imagine a few Cas fans will be annoyed with that, rightly so after the ban last week.

We’ll need Nsemba against KR. Be a difficult game against them but Catalan showed big pack can dominate them and they couldn’t match their intensity

We've got a couple of tough games coming up. Catalans have lost Micky Mac for this week and our game with a 2 match ban btw.

In terms of Nsemba, I think he's fortunate based on what has come before but I do think it's vastly different to the case of the Cas player. He was very harshly treated to get 5 games but he didn't need to put himself in the position he did. In the case of Nsemba, he was just completing a standard tackle and he got swing around by the attacker dipping to his left. One was clumsy and the other a total accident but 5 games was definitely OTT for Namo.
