And Gaskell gets dropped for the useless Lance Hohaia.... playing with 2 fullbacks and 1 halfback, great move. We look at the opposition and see an excellent 7 and of course a top class miles better than Hohaia 6 !!

I hope he proves me wrong and has a blinder but something tells me he'l be his usual slow ineffective self

Lance ain't played to bad in the first half.

Jon wilkin has looked like a boy against men tonight, he been knocked off a few times.

TP is a worry for me, he's totally invisable again, he's lazy and doesn't look interested. He should be playing prop where he can't hide outwide.

It's an improvement so far from Lance but Pryce is still showing us what were missing

I forgot TP was playing , Perry's put himself about abit though. Silly penalties costing us in this game so far. Despite all the wanking going on in the sky box over them Catalan haven't been that great

TP is a prop for me, he goes hiding when in the backrow. He was like this few years back when he was playing backrow. When he's prop, he's no option but to take the ball up.

Perry looks up for it but that silly pen in first set really put us on the back foot which caused us to start bad.

The first half shows that we need a big tough prop. Laffranchi can't do it against the big physical sides.

I thought Jones had a bit of a mare today penalty wise, gave away daft penalties one which march Catalan up field for their 2nd try, about a minute from the end of the first half.

I'm not saying he played poorly, I also agree that Thaler did what he could to muller us in the first half. But the silly penalties from Jones just stood out for me as it was an obvious penalty and I was screaming at the screen for him not to do it.

Agreed. Not only has he won a game for us this year he contributed to many last year.... It has to be Gaskell over Hohaia.

Do I detect an apology coming. Nah didn't think so. Gaskell ain't a halfback end of.

There was a Gaskell shaped hole in our game last night: kicking. Gaskell is a much, much better field kicker than anyone we had on the pitch last night.

Hohaia had his best game as a 6 for us last night but he can't kick for toffee and we suffer as a result.

There must be a way of getting Lomax, Gaskell and Hohaia on the pitch at once. We saw how that messed up Salford when we played at their place. We haven't done it since I don't think. But we should, assuming that Hohaia can produce a good game consistently that is (which I have yet to see evidence of).
