Who are you calling Quasimodo?
Peace off! I've not got your ball.

| Can't believe some of the rubbish on here!!!! All SEVENTEEN players deserve credit for that win; great composure in the last five minutes to hit back. The lads who came in did superb including Morgan Smith who didn't look out of place at hooker and Jack Johnson at full back.
I'm sure some wanted us to lose so you could have a moan!!!

| Yes Walt. Only when dividing this credit between seventeen equally, some are more equal than others.

Agree with the above. Plus totally biased bile and very little reference to our previous "hard" game followed by how we then had to get on a plane for our next fixture! Unbelievable!

On Sims I think he needs to focus on running hard and hitting hard,he is a solid prop and a good leader,we should expect no more of him than that and he should leave the offloading and passing to those who are capable of doing it!'"
To be fair to Ashton, if the pass to Toby King had not been forward we had a 2 on 1 & in a great position.
Great idea just his pass went forward.

Well said WW
From my perspective, we won in 33c heat a week after giving our all at Wembley. We are without our regular halves and hooker plus Bennie, Rhys and Joe W. Our average age of squad last night was 22. I'd say we did pretty darn good.
Overall this season we've scored more points than anyone and conceded the least, we have lost the least number of games whilst only Hull have won as many as us. We have already appeared in one of the 2 big Finals and lost by 2 points. We're top of the League with 3 games to go, if we win against Widnes on Friday and Wigan lose then we are guaranteed a top 2 spot.
I'd say we're having a very good season.

| Quote: mark_m "Surprised the attention Sims is getting when Jordan Cox has to surely be the worst prop in the league. He plays a few minutes per game and spends most of the time blowing out of his hoop.
With regard to George King he is only 21 years old and has been great value this year.
Amazed we have won that with the hookers we had, neither of the two can defend one barely and the other not at all.
On the positive side Patton and Toby King really stepped up to the plate. Hill as ever was superb.'"
Nothing wrong with Brad Dwyer's defence. Morgan Smith is really a half, too.

| nail biting stuff at the end... we did very well to win that game.
Catalans reluctance to run those last 2 penaltys cost them dear.
Why they went for 2 on both occasions when they were absolutely dominating us is a mystery to me.
Massive credit to the young player who really stood up to be counted when they needed to be.

| Quote: Captain Hook "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?!'"
Certainly in the whole business of holding down in the PTB. We got pinged 7 or 8 times for it and I don't think they were penalised even once.

| So far Declan Patton has a 100% record with his kicking. He has not missed a goal.

Couldn't agree more. There are some peculiar views expressed on here, but any criticism in the last couple of weeks is completely off the mark.
To win in Perpignan is a huge task and to do so with that many changes and the week after the Wembley loss is a massive win. To be able to raise themselves and put the effort in as they did yesterday deserves huge praise.
We've even had people on here question the squad's fitness. We were half a metre away from winning three games on the trot in the last minute or two.
Sims offloads were on and catchable.
Bailey controlled himself pretty well I thought in the face of Pellissier clearly trying to play on his reputation for ill-discipline. Even the penalty for the late hit was harsh.
Yes, there are areas we could undoubtedly improve upon, but things aren't too shabby right now.

| What's everyone spouting at fellow fans for. ..many comments were made during play which in a stressful game are likely to be less complimentary. ... Sims offloads were poor he throws the ball downwards he offloaded five times and three of those meant another player had an error against their name not him...that's how stats work
That said as always he was tireless in his hit ups and last ditch defence which I think is second to none. ....
If a fan can't scream FFS at a bad offload during a game its a pretty poor show. ..

Because apparently we are not allowed to do that unless we lose, then there as to be a scape goat.

| In today's Sunday Mirror the Catalans coach is quoted as saying he thought they were the best team for 80 mins. I can only assume something was lost in translation.
