Go back to April 2017 when Ferres put a crusher tackle on Gildart who stayed down. No on-field penalty from Thaler until the video ref intervened resulting in a penalty and sin-bin (plus a subsequent 6 match ban). With that in mind I just cannot understand how Hicks kept schtum on both last night's incidents.
As for McNamara's response to Sky's questions in the post match interview "What incidents are you talking about?" that was the type of petulant response you'd expect from a stroppy teenager.
I also used to enjoy watching Catalans but under McNamara they've become a dirty, cynical side. Even someone as talented as Maloney was making head shot after head shot but only got penalised late on when it mattered less.

Kendall didn't cost us the game but he missed so much he doesn't deserve it.

It's pretty common that once these top stars turn up in the South of France and once they get their flip flops on and start experiencing the finer points of living there that their desire and determination to succeed often comes a close 2nd and is why they are never a consistent top 4 side and winning trophies when their salary cap and player rosta indicates that they should be

I dont think anyone has said he did, still right to call out how inept he is though. And absolutely a ref needs challenging when a player picks up and dumps and injured player in plain sight and does nothing.

Kendall would definitely have a say on the outcome of the final. He is inept, as simple as that.
