    Default I'll do it then

    17 for Sunday. Most pick themselves I would've thought.

    1. Coote.
    2. Makinson
    3. Naiqama
    4. Percival
    5. Grace
    6. Lomax
    7. Fages
    8. Graham
    9. Smith
    10. Lees
    11. Taia
    12. Peyroux
    13. Knowles

    14. Roby
    15. Bentley
    16. LMS
    17. Walmsley

    The reason I've gone with Smith and Graham starting is match fitness on Graham's part and easing Roby back in, I also think it could provoke a positive reaction from Roby.

    Personally i think we will see Walmsley start instead of Lees and Roby instead of Smith.

    I'd probably start Roby to counter their early onslaught and bring Smith on when spaces are opening up. Other than the Front row I think the team picks itself.

    I think you have nailed it inc starters and bench.

    Would be my pick anyway.

    Should have made it clear, that's what I'd go with.

    I think you're right.

    Agree with above. Swap smith and lees for roby and graham. Always play best 13 if and when possible.

    Wonder why paulo not in the 21. Im not complaining like

    Normally I'd agree but Graham has played much more recently than Walmesley, Lees finds his fitness quicker than Walmesley (IMO), same thinking with Smith starting, plus it give us the option of a little curve ball off the bench and bringing Roby on at 13 for a spell and having more speed on the pitch. Someone needs to screenshot this and pass it on to Woolfe on Twitter or whatever.

    I think TYG has hit it right on the nail with that team,Bently is worth a place on the bench,but Bently and Smith might make us a bit light. We are expecting a fast game with the 6 to go rule,but that might not happen and the Catalan's might be more disciplined ( yeah i know it's a long shot ). Faster forwards like LMS and Lees coming on could wreak havoc though against a tired team.

    This would be my team also, Bentley over Smith.

    Those were my thoughts as well, start off with your best toughest 13 then bring on your quicker players in Lees, Smith and LMS. I wonder if Woolf will have Fages playing slightly differently by taking on the line as an extra threat in response to the "6 again rule".

    I agree and I think that’s probably the best team. The hopeless romantic in me would like to see Dodds in for Fages

    Disagree i think in attack he is a real threat, just need to improve his defence a little and timing his short passes. Next season i would have him at 14 playing from the bench every game with either roby having 1 last season or sign a solid experianced hooker for 1 season

    It’s not been unusual to have two dummy halves in the same team in the NRL. This will speed up your game and test your fitness. Good luck and watch big JG go. Hope he does you proud
