| I think this result is a blessing in disguise, if im 100% honest with myself i dont think we would have got top spot anyway, i couldnt see wigan losing two more and us remaining unbeaten.
This result gives us the kick up the a*se that should see us crack on, hopefully turn Stains over on saturday, giving us confidence for the semi, final (hopefully) and play offs.
COME ON YOU WIRE!!

| Wigan have two weeks off between now and the playoffs given their non-existance in the Challenge Cup, this will allow them two one week windows to freshen up, go light on training and then go again in terms of intensity. Our calender is congested, congested because we're competing on two fronts, and competing to win on two fronts not just making up numbers so with this in mind, Smith has to look to find windows whereby we can reduce the intensity and it looks like Catalans was one of these that he identified, and in the long term will give us the best opportunity of achieving our goals, which are clear for all to see.
The big plus for me is that unless i'm missing something, we've come out injury free, which when you add back in Wood, Louis & King, means we're heading towards two big fixtures for us (for different reasons) in good health.

| Quote: el red "You're kidding us, "the heat affected us tonight". It's been as hot as Europe in the UK for the past couple of weeks. Poor excuse.
Why don't you just admit that you thought it would be a walkover tonight and even more convincing in two weeks time.
The fact that the Catalans players took on your feared pack and matched then should definitely be a wake up call. I fully expect TS to try a few party pieces in the Semi but tonight will have confirmed to the French that they can match it with you and come out on top of the "we'll score more than you" game.
Should be a good game in two weeks and as always may the best team win.'"
I never think any game will be a walkover, i aint blaming the heat for the loss either of us could of won that game but catalans played a bit better and made our indiciplin count. On a thread a few weeks back we discussed the run in and where we could win and lose and i said that catalan is a potential loss due to only winning once in france. If i thought catalan would be easy i would be booking my travel and hotel for wembley.

Good. The team was more than strong enough to win and the players probably switched off by looking at the fixture list starting with Saints. I knew we would struggle to back up the Wigan game.

| I feel a little as though the Wigan result means little now. All that hard work to go there and win and really put the pressure on is now rendered pointless by getting beat at Catalan. Well, except to get that 'cant beat the teams at the top' monkey off our backs that is.
Still, mustn't moan. 2nd in the league, CC Semi final, it's not exactly dumpsville at Warrington at this time is it?.

| Jeez. All the top teams have had a bad result this year. More than one in some cases. It was one match. Let it go.

Aye maybe. Can't help but think if we had lost at Wigan we would have won on Saturday though.
We have come a long way, but as TS says, we are not the complete article yet.

Yes, I agree with Smith's comments. I guess he didn't help the "flattening out" by the resting of some of the players.
*If* we beat Saints let's hope we don't flatten out again for the following fixture.

| Smith is planning to win the Challenge Cup and the Grand Final. If he wants to rest players and take a defeat, he'll do it. He won't rest anyone for the next two weeks, but I bet he does vs Wakefield and Hull.
