| I really enjoyed our performance in the first 20 minutes. We seemed well up for it, very aggressive line speed and we made very few errors. We sort of fell off a little bit after that but we're still good for the rest of the 1st half.
As someone mentioned earlier in the thread we still folded first for their first try really after being very much alive in the arm wrestle all half.
There are quite a lot of positives and it's definitely something we can build on. If we play like that next week we will be posting our first 2 points on the league table.
Discipline was a cause for concern, and I'd say composure was as well. If we get pinged at all for not being square next week I think Sam Burgess will be furious.
I think kendall had a decent game overall, catalans definitely got away with holding down for longer and a lot of niggling at the breakdown, which was frustrating.
I think all the lads did alright yesterday, apart from dudson who just doesn't seem to do anything in attack or defence. Philbin makes very little impact sadly. Those who are again hammering currie, he was 2nd on our tackle count, I still don't get why people think he's terrible? He really isn't, maybe injury robbed us of a truly special player, but he's still good for me. Toby King I thought was really good, great to have him back and he seems to have matured too.

Currie should never have been given his recent contract extension by Wire.
We are now stuck with him, or we will have to give him a huge pay-off to get shut..

When I saw that 3 year extension last June I was left scratching my head at both the [itiming [/iand [iduration[/i. A legacy of Powell.
I was hoping that things had changed under Burgess but the same approach to Phibin recently has led me to conclude that not much has changed behind the scenes.

Thing is we are top (after 1 game admittedly) of the off load stats. https://www.superleague.co.uk/stats/club-stats

Agreed. Mike McMeeken would fit the bill. I'm sure the DoR has it all in hand.

| Still a bit miffed we didn't get Tanginoa (though I think his medical record had something to do with it). McMeeken would be just what we need, but we'll probably use that money on a 4 year Dudson deal.
