Catalans-10.5

Catalans are getting stronger every week and they should have too much for Cas.

Tigers have done well so far but in the last month or so have been hit by injuries and looked a little bit tired at times. Cas dont have the same size of squad as most super league teams and although there is some excellent options in attack their forwards are not the strongest.

Catalans seem to improve just about every week. Yes in the opening couple of months the French side were woeful but i think since then they have been very well coached and every player now seems to understand his job and know exactly what the coach expects from him. The defence is a lot better than previous seasons and their discipline has improved if not in all games at least in most of them.

I think the Catalans are just too big and powerful for Cas. They have a huge advantage in the forward line with so many experienced players that love that physical challenge. I just dont see Tigers having the strength to slow them down or the goal line defence to keep them out so thats why i go with a home win by a lot more than 10 points.

Greenshields could win this match but also Baillie should have a big game on the right edge where Cas have defended poorly in recent weeks.
