An interesting and varied read in the 10 pages.

My view -
1. Catalans ready took it to us and deserved to win.
Their start to the match was incredible and their forwards dominated.
Considering they were significantly understrength - made worse when da Costa went off injured - they deserve massive plaudits.

2. Wire found a way to win even though they were second best. Fantastic resilience - something I've not seen for many many years from us. They didnt play at their best - weren't allowed to - yet they still came away with 2 points.
The chase back by 4 players to stop Johnstone scoring was really top draw and worth the entrance fee alone.

3. Dudson is a complete tool (a universal view) - he may not have ultimately cost us this match but could have the next two. What the f*** was he thinking? Johnstone did nothing wrong. Don't think we'll see him until late May / early June.

4. Drinkwater had a great match - arguably his best so far for us - and possibly just shades our mom from Dufty and Currie. Sublime kicking.

5. Some very difficult 50/50 calls for the ref and video ref, and also some forward passes not called (Danny was lucky one more than one occasion). I wouldn't have liked to try to make some of those calls.

6. Fan support fantastic.

7. Too many comments on this thread related to the commentators rather than the match. I'd rather talk about the excitement of the match.

Overall - this match had me on the edge of my seat from minute 1.
A fantastic showcase for RL apart from one tool.

Was it in the Wigan game yesterday that one got binned, it’s when the player is tackling from behind and falls backwards dragging the player down. It was on Da Costa, I saw the ref put it on report after the play stopped for doctor on the field.

Dudson let himself down, but let’s not be too hasty in calling for a mass lynching.

He can serve out his 3 game ban and he can get on with things.

If he does it again, then yea, get rid…. But let’s not be too harsh.

Yes it was a stupid thing to do, but it’s not as bad as some are making out.

I don’t think Philbin dropped his hip though, did he?

Never rated Dudson at Cats or Salford so a baffling signing imo.

Yes it was a Flower hit. Should be six months, aka season over.

It wasn't that bad, absolutely stupid but not as bad at all. He deserves whatever ban comes his way though regardless.

Although Dudson’s hit was nowhere near as bad as Flower’s, I’ve got no doubts the disciplinary will make an example of him due to the pending court case against the RFL from the ‘brain injury’ lawyers. There’s no way he’ll get less than 10 for that in the current climate. Especially when McGuire got 7 for use of a derogatory term.

Dudson - thug in the playground. Hitting someone when on the ground with little chance to defend themselves - it's just not on - and his 'what looked like' smirking as he left the field was not acceptable.

Agree though - let him serve his ban and come back. Whether he gets in ahead of Bullock / Harrison though is another matter.
Both of those two have proved their worth. Dudson hasn't so far.

Will have to look at it again, first impression was yes.

Be lucky if it’s only 3

Ah okay. I couldn’t replay it as I’m watching on NOW TV.

I hope he gets 10!

3!? You’re hoping! Will be a minium of six, striking when a player is on the floor. I think he’ll get eight.
