Agreed. Catalans are huge, we cannot go in with one prop off the bench IMO, unless we actually intend using radders there and Lee at 13???

Are they as huge with Ryles, Carlaw, Fakir (off) and Raguin missing?

I'd like to see Maloney given his chnace, i honestly think he'll do well for us.

Fair point. guess we'll find out!

Or put Tickle 13 and bring Manu in from the bench.Use Lee as one of the subs.

He can play more positions yes however the Catalans pack are not very mobile at all and like Celtic it is a game where i think Houghton must be on the bench.

Fair point though they are going to be missing their three best forwards it has to be said.

I'd say this ends any speculation as to the fullback slot.

Hall does start at full back, Agar said so on Humberside earlier.

Not for me, he can cover 6,7 & 9 but I would still have Houghton o the bench instead of Lee easily.

Typo.

Can he cover them well? Houghton can play 7 but I would not want him there. Berrigan controls the ruck and our forwards, when he takes a breather we need some impact and pace around the ruck which is exactly what Houghton provides, Lee is more in the Berrigan style so to me its an easy choice Houghton off the bench to exploit Catalans big tiring forwards.
