Lee Smith returns for The Rhinos this evening having missed the last two games through injury, he will of course replace Danny Williams in what is likely our only change to the starting 13.


Half back teenager Jordan Tansey (another local boy) should make the 17 as I hope does Ian Kirke, he looks very promising to me.
Les Catalans will start new boy Mick Dobson who only arrived this week as cover for Stacey Jones who will be a big loss for the Les’s.

Should be excellent conditions in the South of France tonight and if so any hard ground should suit our half backs who in my opinion do not suit or indeed like the soft going.
It will not be as easy as it was last week against Cas though the bookies do not see it that way, they give the Catalans 30 points start.


I predict a fairly comfortable win for the Rhinos with Tansey scoring on his debut – well everybody else is!!


Prediction: Catalans 20 v Rhinos 48
