Cheers for the review. How did Watkins play if we were shifting the ball wide early, I've not heard his name mentioned yet. Hopefully he can return to previous years form given the opportunity.

Obviously I wasn't there last night, but a score line like that didn't seem achievable last season. Especially considering we had ward Jjb Galloway ferres etc out. So to win like that and be 3 wins from five to me is definitely improvement on last season. I felt last season anything but our starting 17 would struggle with no hope to cope with any injury.

Watkins was OK, looked to be a bit more involved, and early ball seemed to help. He was involved (with Mags) in the bad Miss for the Williame try.

Was impressed with Sutty in the back row, it's going to be really hard to fit everyone in when fit.

True, only having a bit of fun.

I'd also say one hammering last week doesn't have me slitting my wrists over the next 3 years being a massive struggle.

Fair enough, i would never contemplate slitting of the wrists over rugby though, if i did i would have died long before SL started

I will give credit where credit is due and to bounce back in that style against an unbeaten team with such pressure on deserves a big pat on the for all concerned. Still, big tests to come in the next 4-6 games in which we will have a better idea of where we are actually at.

Maybe we just needed to have some patience with regards to the attack.....if only someone pointed that out a few games ago

Defence after last weeks 'mate, showing itself to be going well this year.

Are we getting back to 2015 in attack and defence yet?

Like you hinted at a couple of weeks ago?

Given the off-season and pre-season absence of SPOTY, the Kiwis and floods of course

It was a massively patched up Catalan side. But saying that, it was the best rugby we have played in SL excluding middle 8's for a year.

Massively patched up? Didn't look far off to me, bar a couple of names.
Who was missing?

Parcell and Cuthbertson outstanding that first half. We actually look really good with ball. Catalans are woeful like.

Hang on Gotcha, how can you be at a game and logged into RLFans at the same time?
Some kind of shenanigans or have you caught up with the rest of the free world and realised you can actually do both?

Really hope that both Parcell and Cuthbertson can stay fit through the summer, they're going to rip most teams apart.

No he didn't, as has been pointed out to you and others on multiple threads by multiple posters, but don't let that stop you will you...
