| Quote: Jonesy "Thats right Bren.
But the best tries are the ones that see extraordinary tries scored against sound defensive structures and unlock those defensive patterns or ad lib the play so much that it can not be defended against.
Catalans try was entertaining and as much luck as skill.'"
"I'm a great believer in luck and I find that the harder I work, the more of it I have."
The only really lucky part was the Cats player who tried to kick the ball into the in-goal area and missed - the rest was a result of sheer effort and refusing to give up; Menzies decision to push the ball back instead of trying to find the ground was a moment of genius, as was Dureau's flick pass and Millard's step.
For the purist, I agree, watching a team break open a defence with bodies in motion, clinical passing and dummy runners is a joy; for the non-expert neutral, the Cats try and the context within which it was scored will have done more to ignite their interest in RL than watching any of the above. |

To be fair, after watching the billion replays Ganson was making of each moment during the VR decision, I got the impression that had Menzies caught the ball, he would have fallen over the line and scored himself.
Still, in the heat of the moment he wouldn't have realised that, and what followed was entertaining - especially the cheers from the saints fans when Blanch got the ball out (did they think it was a knock on?) only for play to carry on. |

From the West Terrace, it looked as if the tackle was complete. Cue hugging jumping and cheering, followed by the awful moment of "oh fsck nuggets, they got the ball out!"
The rest, as they say, is history. |

Millard's try was try of the month and no doubt try of the season.
As for comments about the ref, well Saints have conceded 12 tries and 70 points in the past two games so someone has to get the blame from the coach.
Not him of course but someone else, namely the ref!
As John Monie said "Only complain about the referee when you've won".

Millard's try was fantastic. If anyone has watched the wigan cas highlights watch charnleys first try. From a tap restart 10 in on one side to Charnley scoring in the corner within 5 passes and literally seconds, a brilliant try.
