yeh Roofs,a bit like the curates egg you lot ! never really know which HKR will turn up on the day it seems to me ?
Catalans were dire against Wakey,giving up after 65 minutes so something dramatic must have changed ! I spoke to Damien Blanch after that game and asked him (politely,cos' he's a solid b****r !) what the problem was and he said 'don't worry mate,we'll get it right' - maybe Millard made the difference ?
regarding Steve Menzies,he IS a credit to the game and a nice guy too - I took the missus down to a training session at Perpignan when she was feeling ok (she has cancer and was in-between chemo sessions) and he made her feel like a million dollars - he even contributed to a 'Get Well Soon' card for her with notes & signatures from many of the lads.A moment that deserves respect from a great servant to the game.Still a good player too...

I couldn't agree more about your comments on Steve Menzies. I met him myself last season and he was more than happy to chat about the game, have a few photos taken and seemed a genuinely nice guy.
Hope your missus makes a speedy recovery by the way.

thanks mate - she's been suffering for six years now and despite losing most of her internal bits she is still with us thanks to great medical care and a very stong will not to mention the immense buzz she gets from watching RL at any level - each live game seems to have the same impact as a dose of chemo ! Can't imagine a nicer bloke than SM though we are lucky to have plenty of nice guys in our sport ie Dean Widders,Gareth Carvell,Olivier Elima and the like - that is,when they're not knocking seven bells of s**t out of each other !  |

I'm yet to meet an RL player that won't give you an autograph or take a few minutes to have a chat about the game. In fairness I've met a few RU players and they have been the same as well.
Glad your wife gets enjoyment from the great sport that is RL. She sounds a fighter and undoubtedly is an inspiration to anyone affected by that terrible disease.

after watching loads of matches at Perpignan and as Season Ticket holders at TO over the years we have always asked the visisting teams for autographs and all but one player ( a certain Cougars thug) have all taken the time,win or lose to sign our programmes.Even Jonny Lomax last year at Perpignan when he was almost unconscious !
Don't know if you have experienced the Toulouse hospitality but it's well worth the trip ask any Championship fan to TO13 ! 
forgot to mention Gareth Thomas & Barry Eaton in the 'nice guys' list

All the fans in the ground around us were saying he'd done well. I didn't really notice him, which to me is the sign of a good ref. |

Alibert had another solid game.We all know that the best referees are sat in their armchairs,eating fish and chips and smoking cigarettes.Unfortunately,they don't know the rules and don't have the fitness to lace up their boots.

met him a few times ie. after the france v wales game plus a couple of Crusaders games (latterly the pre season friendly) and was great chatting away and signing my programme etc - yeh, a really nice person and still playing well,just like Menzies.

), but we were truly awful, worst performance since our bad run mid-way through last season. Like I said though credit to Catalans for making the most of it, and Menzies is a credit to the game to keep playing like that at 37.
