| I’m commenting on the posts they’ve made after the game, which have offered congratulations to Catalan and made no excuses. You just appear to go around gloating which is odd given your team got nowhere near Catalan.

| That was a gutsy win by Catalans. They were fully deserved winners. The Frenchman Antoine Gigot was a deserved Lance Todd medal winner. Superior courage and patience despite costly dropped kicks by Yaha and Drinkwater that led to Warrington's two tries. The team rallied and forced a victory. Bravo!
Now all we need is to have Toulouse in the Challenge Cup final, and winning it, as soon as possible.

It’s more important for Toulouse to get into Super League ASAP to capitalise on the boost French Rugby League has been given

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |
|
| Feel a bit for Warrington they were on a hiding to nothing everybody wanted Catalans to win (myself included) but you did see what it meant to the French players and fans and it’s massive for French RL we do need another French team in SL before Toronto imo

Agree with that. Think a lot of it was to do with just pure poor execution by Wire. I think it was 3 times near the end when Wire was on the Catalans line and they played the ball back on the last tackle to Brown but the pass to him was shocking around his head/shoulder/behind him and resulted in a poor kick.
I don’t think the Catalans performance was anything special after the opening 20 mins and the final 20 they were just as sloppy as Wire. When you think back to their SF performance, THAT was a top quality performance, todays you can’t really say came close to that. If they produced similar today they’d have won by 20+. Instead they were clinging on by 6 against a team who were like headless chickens anytime they were in Catalans 20m.

Firstly, well done Catalans on a great win today, fully deserved (and you won me a good few quid as I backed you for the cup before the Saints semi, and had Gigot for the Lance Todd!). I have to agree with Frankie here. I don't have anything against Toronto and if they get into SL on merit through the qualifiers then fair play and they deserve their spot through the current system. However, a second French team (Toulouse) would make a lot more sense and be more beneficial in my opinion.

| Good tough final, nowhere near a classic but last 10 mins was interesting, though Ratchford, Brown and Clark were poor compared to the Catalan counterparts. Far too many errors from Warrington and still struggling to be that top 4 big club side, the Catalans should be a stronger outfit next season.

| Well done Catalans you came first, we came second. The rest of the teams were somewhere behind.

We can have both Toulouse and Toronto in Super League. Ideally in a 14 team league without loop fixtures

That about sums it up. Certainly not a game of the highest quality; even Lance Todd winner Gigot had a far from flawless game. Right now I'm watching Canberra v Souths, and the difference in class is night and day.

| It was an awful game and an embarrassing Wires performance. Five major final defeats in a row for us now. Maybe one day we'll finally get round to replacing Adrian Morley. We might have a chance when we do.

| If Wire had had Blake Austin playing instead of Roberts, they might have won that game.

| Roberts has been a poor signing, but he wasn't even our worst half back today, never mind our worst player. Considering it was probably the best chance he'll ever have of winning a trophy in his career, Brown was absolutely dreadful.
