No complaints about that one. Catalans were harshly punished for a couple of backward knock ons inside our 20.

We should not be focusing on the referee but our woeful inability to defend an 18 point lead against admittedly an excellent Catalan team

At the end of the day we lost because of our pathetic defence attempts. The decisions evened themselves out

Can't blame the ref. yeah it did hit the deck but tough S h 1 t, he didn't give it. Got far more to worry about than who is in the middle. God help us when we play Wigan, think we could end up walking back to our cars crying..........hope I am wrong!

As I commented on via the 19 man squad thread.

SP,
That bench looks very lightweight. Do you think it's Simmonds intention to try and run their big blokes around?

It was a risk that didn't come off.

No props, no pots.

I thought Child's made some awful decisions for both teams. Catalans probably had the rub of the green in the last 15 minutes (bar the backwards knock on) but I think overly they balanced out.

Child was utter crap. Theres was so many wrong decisions it was a joke! Both teams got stung with bad decisions though and in the end it was impossible to work out who had been more harshly done to

Agreed. One of those where the team who lost are always going to feel hard done by, even though the team who won were punished just as badly.

And when you play Warrington.... Not even worth thinking about! Move on, the players will hurt from this but hey, as we found out last year, it's not how you start.

I thought Child was on your teamsheet for the first half, and the Cats' sheet for the second. Even if Pryce's arm touched the floor, Cats still had to score from the play, and that wasn't an easy task - no matter what you think of your defence in the last 20min.
