Quote: Winslade's Offload "Bit of a strange game I thought. Catalan looked strong down the middle and ran the ball hard, but there was little French flair from them. Patton was excellent with his attacking kicks but then didn't seem to make use of the wind to gain field position, and his HB partner Brown went AWOl. All he seemed to do was pass the ball down the line - except for that nice little chip kick for Hiku's try at the end. Lineham took his opportunities but his marking and defence was really poor. Julien looked pretty jaded to me. I suppose this long run of games he has had is gradually wearing him down but hopefully will put him in good stead for next year. Ratch looked classy and Morgan Smith was good value with his tackling and quick passing. If I was greedy I would have to say that I would like Smith to show a bit of his attacking moves as well.
And then there was the reffing, which was nothing short of laughable. Just as well we had the game in the bag.'"
Sorry Chaz a bit harsh on Patton and Brown, I thought Patton took the line on Brown actually put in a defensive stint. I agree with your summation elsewhere another positive contribution from Smith he tackles well for a guy his size quite fearless
