I’d find it weird if they started on the edge. You start middle and work back in either side. That way you’re not obstructing yourself or sight at a long reach.

Maybe it's to do with progressively loading the steel trusses and transferring equal load into the main structure behind (so you don't bend it at one side effectively).

Anyone notice if North Stand has been finished?

The barriers look like they've gone all the way across now.

McNamara is still not happy with our pitch but they managed to beat Leigh though...

Catalans Dragons boss Steve McNamara:

"We've had the worst week ever with sickness and infections from injuries sustained in our first game at Wakefield.

"We've lost a number of players, so to do that against a very good Leigh side was incredible.

"There's plenty of blood around in the changing room again, the scabs are all off again, we've got seven players on antibiotics from last week so most of the team weren't feeling too great before kick-off."


Wonder how many of our players were suffering the after-effects...Lyne, Jowitt ???

Apparently Max has rolled his ankle.

....okay, but if Les Cats have so many issues after last week, then I find it hard to believe that we don't have any ???

Don't do the WC. Consider this first and final warning.

and why didn't Hull, Halifax and Fev suffer the same effects.
McNamara is a whinger and holds a grudge. They get a few grazes etc and what do UK teams get when they go there?
I wonder why they got fined recently and it wasn't their first offence.

Some of our players have had infections caused by the pitch. It's dreadful at this moment in time. And our players are on it every day, Catalans are lucky they don't have to play on it again.
