Quote: ABO "Correct. In fact towards the end of the first half, before they scored, they looked like they'd given up. Catalans were battered last week by Hudds - there's nothing like a game against Warrington to boost confidence.
It's the manor of the defeats that people are reacting too, total capitulation when the other team gets a bit of momentum and the fact that we haven't won a game since Leeds at home on August 2nd.'"
Absolutely correct - after 35 minutes they were gone (we had played well too) but we managed to piggy back them up the field from being on their line with a couple of minutes to go till half time.
I just couldn't believe how stupid our players must be - Westwood idiocy cost us the first try. Someone else cost us the one just before half time.
Second half we just gave away penalty after penalty after penalty and when we did get field position we dropped it, normally on the first or second tackle.
As someone else said it's not about being beaten, it's the manner of the defeat - completely shambolic and unacceptable no matter who the opposition are - and let's remember Catalans were missing key players and were using a centre at hooker for the first time!
