Agreed very good team performance, great commitment and effort, to be fair we had been playing alright before the mistake from King which put us 8 down. The response to a man was terrific, great effort from the lads today.
Mulhern was great and so was mamo, Philbins best performance of the season (when started on the bench). Widdop MOM Clark was dangerous, a special player. |

| Quote: morrisseyisawire "There were still some issues despite victory, undoubtedly.
We still looked very tame in the opposition 20, we gave away far too many penalties and set restarts in the first half hour but we settled down and ran the game for the last hour.
There was nothing lucky about Widdops kick, and.Mamos intercept was brave and assured - a split second hesitation and they may well have scored in that corner. Similarly, yes Clarke's break was a moment of individual brilliance but so what, thats what I want to see and Ben Currie finished it off superbly given Tom Davis was in pursuit.
I've given up any expectation of free flowing, off the cuff rugby that showcases the like of Widdop, Currie, King and Clarke until Powell arrives. Until then gutsy and committed winning rugby will do.'"
Agree with all of that. It’s a brilliant win to go over there in the South of France a notoriously hard place to go and get a win. Defence was outstanding and I’m taking nothing away from the effort but I fear the individual brilliance in attack papered over some of the cracks in our attack. |

He will deserve it if he contributes to a winning performance.
Clearly he has never done this in the past and thus has never deserved to be in a final, i suspect that the same scenario will occur tomorrow.:30555.jpg |

| Quote: Damienc "At the start I will be honest I thought we were going to get taken to the cleaners.
To me the players were thinking "Run to the line, then I will look for someone to tell me how to cross that barrier because I don't know how to".
Then eventually we managed to get some points but again it wasn't down to the "Team" it was again "Individual Spark" there was no one on the Field who was taking control and calling out plays and getting the attack going for the whole game.
Even though we got the win, it was a really poor team performance and only down to some "Individual Sparks" that we managed to get that win.
Catalan looked really good at the start, but then I think the heat and the size of the players caused them to hit a wall at around the 35 minutes and from there it was downhill for them they just didn't to me look like they were going to get back in to the game fully.
I honestly think there is something going on behind the scenes because that bunch of players should be playing 100% better than they are, it feels to me like they are intentionally playing poor to get Price out sooner than the end of the season, I just don't think any of them have any interest in playing whilst he is there other than Mamo, Ashton, Thewlis, King and Davis. The rest just look like they are turning up to play the minutes to get paid and don't care what happens win or lose they are getting paid.
I don't have much hope for the HKR game, I honestly think it is going to be a HKR win by 18 to 6.'"
There was nothing wrong with the attitude or commitment. To go the South of France travelling there and back in the same day I’m at a loss as to what you were expecting. FFS we nilled them the second half! |

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74166.jpeg |

I’m all for “individual brilliance” especially where there isn’t just one individual displaying it. It means that we can put doubt in the mind of the opposition they can’t afford to target just one player.

So pleased for Ben C - he looked really quick talking his try, reminding me of the CC final try where he went down the wing to score against Hull.
After all he's been through It's great to see him playing well and running quickly.
I'm sure he must be in a happy frame of mind.

Ben Currie until his injury was the fastest player at Warrington. He doesn’t seem along way off that now either. He has a very deceiving long stride. |
