Game went how most would have predicted it was just a bridge to far in the end for us. 1st half we looked good moved the ball well especially down the left handside again. 2nd half as expected we tired playing 4 games in 13 days will take it's toll. Child was poor for both teams really penalising one thing for one team and then not the other. Gale dropping that sitter maybe cost us a bit could have been up 24-8 at half time but just one of those things, can't fault effort from our players tonight though. Don't know about others but Catalans are one of those teams I can't stand watching there rugby is poor imo really clunky in attack and can't stand Maloney he makes more contact with oppositions head's than actual clean tackles the Tomkins brothers are them usual selves as well absolute grubs throughout that Catalans team can't stand them personally. We'll be up there at end of season hopefully we can catch a break with injuries and COVID and get our strongest team out for rest of season.

Morgue is an absolute star turn. Wonderful young player to watch.

Thought Catalans played a great 2nd half but I'll be interested to see how we go with a better rested side in the return. Agar and long have work to do as we still look short of plays or ideas at times.
Overall happy with how things have been going. But really it's all about what kind of response we can muster in response to a setback

Give him his credit scored a very good individual try but doesn't stop the fact S.Tomkins, Maloney, Kasiano, J.Tomkins, Mcllorum ( when he plays) are all grubs and love a whine when they think stuff doesn't go their way.

Cant fault the players at all. Gave all they had again for the jersey tonight.

Thought we played some lovely stuff 1st half. Couldnt really get out of our half for much of 2nd but never stopped trying.

We are a good side now. Now put your feet up lads you have earned it.

Im over reacting TBH but there’s a few saying things like they shouldn’t be tired they get paid to play, and same old leeds, players are crap etc

I actually don't mind Catalan. They've a good squad and would be nice for someone different to top the league instead of usual suspects. I don't know if Tomkins has mellowed a bit or he's had a broadside from McNamara. I wouldn't mind seeing Catalan top the table.

Maloany is such a good player but he really does make it hard to like him, that 40/20 is pretty much what beat us

Tomkins (sam) is a quality player and that young french kid is box office

Fair enough.
I think anyone who thinks you can play so many games in a short spell and
Not suffer knows very little about pro RL. They’ve done really well of late and we clearly ran out of gas against a big tough side.
