How's that getting on his back? It was his first senior game for a long while he was targetted & he had a bad day at the office. Should we all say he was brilliant just because he's new? FWIW I've always rated the lad but thought he looked very ring rusty tonight.

THATS PROBABALY WHAT IT WAS , NO QUITE MATCH FIT , PINPOINTED BY THE CATS ,NOT KNOWING THE GAME PLAN , MOVES ETC ETC, , AS YOU TALK A LOT OF SENSE YORKSHIRE RED


KEEP THE FAITH

It was nice to hear us referred to as Les Diables Rouges at least 3 times.

Highlight of the game for me. Only positive on the playing side was John Wilshire. Felt he had alot to deal with as Bosc was given as long as he liked to pick his kicks and some of the bombs that he took on the full were great.

Totally agree ...hopefully he will keep Fitzy out of the team with these performances...forever

Pathetic comment.

Granted it is a poor result, but we have come off the back of three wins which were all close and hard fought games. The Leeds game will have taken a lot out of the players mentally and physically and Catalan was probably the worst place for us to go after a game such as that. It sounds like the journey down there was a nightmare and took 11 hours, christ knows what happened and the hot weather is a massive advantage to Catalan.

Lets also not forget the different in class between us and Catalans, man for man they are far superior and the scoreline shows that.

Hopefully the fans who went over enjoyed their trip regardless of the result, it is a massive improvement on the last time I went over there in 2007 when we got spanked 66-6 in the pouring rain.

Plenty of fair excuses for last nights performance as stated above. The main thing for me is there is definitely a good spirit again in the camp.

Its unfair to single out Goulding and to play him out of position. He is a centre and if we are to compare him with what we have then he should play there instead of Littler who offers nothing for the future.

Wilshere has made #1 his own but for me there is a space for Fitzy - maybe as undertudy to Robbie Paul for next season and beyond.

I am just watchin the 'highlights' on Sky.
So far, from what has been screened, Goulding has made just the one mistake, and he wasn't the only one at fault in that instance imo.

.......he must have a real shocker in the 2nd half if some people's opinions are to be considered accurate...........I'll wait and see

.......... strewth, he wasn't that bad
I've seen far worse individual performances.

All in all, a tired looking performance, but that was probably to be expected, and not the end of the world.
