Head to Head
There will be battles all over the field on Monday tea time. Take a look below at the battles to look out for
Moa v Tasi
Both props have some power behind them especially Tasi who is known for his powerful runs and dominance in defence just ask Harrison Hansen who was on the wrong side of one of the 'bondi bombers' monster tackles on Friday. Like Tasi, Moa is a very storming carrier of the ball and can help get The Dragons on the front foot. Both having experience in the NRL playing for Sydney Roosters both are certain to be key players in the game on Monday
Walsh v Carney
The departure of Luke Walsh from saints to Catalans was in my opinion a very big shock as Walsh is a brilliant rugby league player. The halfbacks kicking game is second to non and he really does get the players around him working very hard. If the Reds are to get the win I feel they will need to keep this man very quiet. Having been rested for the Leigh game Carney will look for a starting place against his former employers. Like Walsh for Catalans Carney has been a great asset to the Red Devil's in 2017 and adds that extra option in attack. With Rob Lui possibly being rested Carney will surly step up to the plate and show the dragons what they are missing.
Casty v Flanagan
With 2 stints at the Catalans Dragons forward Remi Casty is a vital cog in the Dragons engine. Casty can really boss the dragons around the park and is a true leader for them. With over 180 appearances for the French outfit His experience will undoubtedly help the dragons on the field and the Devils will need to watch out for him come gameday.
Flanagan for me has been an outstanding signing for Salford as goes under the radar a lot but does a great job in the middle. His versatility at covering a lot of positions can help the Devils if any injuries do occur during the campaign. The tackling machine has made some outstanding performances in 2017 and I see this continuing with Flanagan putting his body on the line until the final whistle of the final game when ever that will be.
