74166_1608576718.jpeg Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74166.jpeg |

| THAT try! Ratchford showing real leadership. I know traditionally props aren't supposed to need a brain but a couple of ours could have starred in The Wizard of Oz...Sims as the Tin man and Bailey as his understudy. But the main thing was the team showed character.
I have no issue with most of the penalties against us, but weren't Catalan doing the same things without punishment? AND does the ref mike have to be turned up quite so much?!

you cant punch anyone anymore so just run in hard and put some big men on their backside........I thought his antics gave Catalan a massive boost.
but at least he did some minutes which is more than can be said of Cox.......what a a staggering drop in performances from him...
and agreed on everything else as usual lefty...'"
How can it be a drop in performance from Cox when he has never performed for us? He has to be the worst prop in SL.

| Average age of the team tonight was apparently just 22! Incredible result on the back of last weekend, the team we put out, the heat and the fact that we only travelled out this morning!

| Didn't hear much about how under strength we were from them, then again we are not Wigan.

They don't mention Wigan bringing in a player like Frank-Paul Nuuausala, or that they can cope with injuries due to the strong youth system.
Didn't put over us having numbers 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 17 out, as well as squad players that are injured or have left.
When they did make an attempt to mention the missing, they kept missing out players including a big one in Clark.
Think they mentioned Catalan missing Carney and Taylor more.

I'm not that surprised, we could of had all the U19 squad playing and our missing first team squad would not get a mention, as I said we are not Wigan.

Yes, I'm aware of who it is, although from some of the posts on here most aren't.

Sims has done ok stats wise this season - 4th in squad for tackles, 5th for metres and top for offloads. Interestingly prior to today he'd only given away 9 penalties. Hill has given away 25.........liability that bloke........

This is just a hunch, but do you think it's possible that Sims has been asked to play like that, in order for us to jump up for a quick play the ball, to make use of our dummy half running...?

I have never said he shouldn't be in the team,he definitely should be.
He may well offload the most but the majority of them result in us losing possession.

If you say the majority of his offloads result in us losing possession, presumably that means 29 or more. How many is it? Presumably you've done the analysis to back up your statement. I'm sure it's not just a hunch.

| Well as Neil Fairbrother tweeted tonight, that was a ballsy performance by the youngsters. We certainly looked a bit knackered from last week but a fresh pair of legs from Patton made a huge difference at the right time. I have to hold my hand up and say I was expecting a defeat by 20 or so points, so that was a very pleasant surprise. Plenty of errors from us, but hardly surprising in that heat and after the Wembley final.
I thought King had a good game, some sloppy tackling by Cats, but the best part of the break that he made (for me) was the maturity to look around and find the runner backing up (Patton). And again from the move started by Ratchford in our 20m, he took an offload from Ratchford and sent a spiralling pass out to Patton for our third try. He still wants too much time on the ball ( than he is going to be allowed) at this level, but surely he will be a real handful next year. I thought Morgan Smith ( turned 18 in April) looked promising as well with some strong tackling, although he was caught flat footed for one of their tries.
Having said all that, Les Cats were absolutely shocking in the first half and looked totally clueless attacking our line - I don't know why I was worried about some of our smaller players in defence. All in all, a good day at the office.

| Agree about King and fully justifying Tony Smith's decision to include him a few weeks ago despite some doubts on here. 9 players from the Academy in the 17 surely our best for a long time.
