Big error by Davies with the ball, and Langi totally missing the tackle on Hurrell. Apart from McIllorum I’m not sure Catalans defence is that hot.

Think we’d be blown away with this intensity. The bar is pretty high now and we just need to move forwards every season.
Only thing that will derail Saint’s this year is injuries.

Or goal kicking tonight

They’ll probably score enough tries not to worry about it!

Saints I'd agree with. Catalans seemed to run out of gas after 20.

3 or 4 games for napa there?

Yep - can see him keeping the disciplinary panel busy on his own this season.

Come on, Tet got 5 games for far less last year!

You'd think. Won't be facing us at least.

Glad we didn’t go for Napa, absolute nut job!

Saints look good, if they stay relatively injury free can see them doing 4 on the trot.

I think they can be beaten though, cats were still in it until the last 10 minutes and I thought they were terrible tonight

Catalan just didn't change their point of attack enough and slogging it out wasn't going to get the better of St's. Pearce I don't think will match maloneys influence for them.

Yep, Catalans very poor.
Did they play any preseason friendlies? Maybe a bit slow off the mark if not.

Laughable comment.

I dunno, if we get our first choice side out we could look pretty good too I think this year. I can see us dishing out a hiding or two.

Hats off to Saints for how they've handled the loss of Thompson, hardly missed a beat. We need our senior players to perform this year, and a handful of the young ones to step up a level.

I just don't get on with McNamara. He coaches grubby.

Catalans had a point of attack? Wow I must have missed that. Saints we’re Saints and Catalans we’re dreadful. We should be confident going into this season.
