Its really quiet on the forum at present? no discussion about tonight's game? Catalans played well last week, be interesting.

We won last week so not too much to complain about.

We really are struggling to score, aren't we? We offer almost no threat even close to the line. Desperately need some first-choice backs to return.

Interesting comments from KC after the game.

Rather than complain about our side, we,ve got to say how good this Catalan side is, best team I,ve seen so far this season. Big and rock solid if they don't have too many injuries they will win a lot of games.

Interesting in what sense? I'd be more inclined to use 'predictable' in as much that the current state of affairs is everyone's fault but his. The bloke is Teflon and is sullying both his own reputation and that of the club in general. He clearly doesn't possess the professionalism, integrity or basic intellect to be a coach. You don't bag your players in public - he does it all the time.

He's an utter laughing stock. I'm sick of listening to him.

Very interesting. Who is he going to whittle out? His most damning comment was when he said some thing about not knowing what was wrong (maybe not the exact words) but its admitting such things that costs coaches their jobs.
I only missed the last 10 minutes of the first half but in the 70 minutes I saw LMS died with the ball on every play he was involved in. It was noticeable that Carney on the touch screen seemed to be hinting at this when explaining their defensive structure. Can't fault his effort though.

They look good for sure and are clearly a better side then they've ever been but they're also a fit and healthy side currently. It's no fluke that the sides having the best seasons to date (Wire, Catalans and Hull) are also having decent runs with injuries.

If you get Percival, Makinson, Swift, Vea, Greenwood,Lomax etc in to that side Catalans face a totally different challenge. They were missing an experienced hooker but the young kid went pretty well for them.

It's been one heck of a year for injuries. It's that bad even Leeds have had more then a couple of colds.

I will hazard a guess which players he thought didn't turn up this week; Fages, Spedding, Knowles and Ashworth. Meanwhile, Wilkin was utter garbage once again and is apparently being offered a new deal? Looks like last week was the abhorration.
