| -Make the kick, your in the million pound game at home. Miss the kick you're in the million pound game away. Either way you're at risk of getting demoted.
-Take the tap and score, you are guaranteed SL. Take the tap and fail to score you're in the million pound game.
Only taking the tap had a chance of guaranteed survival. It turned out to be the wrong option but I get why they did it.
More to the point...... I'm really happy they did it

It was a tough call to make as playing at home in the Million Pound Game would have given them a big advantage (that said maybe they fancy beating Leigh home or away?)but equally going for the win v Widnes would have secured survival.
Happy they didnt take the two from a logistics point of view (sorting out flights/hotels with less than a weeks notice - something for the RFL to look at if this format stays).

| Take the tap to avoid the chance of the mpg. If that was Leigh they would have got linched if they had gone for the two!
The correct call, the wrong result.

| The wrong call was going for the two early on when Widnes were down a man
However , personally I'd have taken the home game option , glad they didn't

| To be honest Catalans took the tap because they new it was now or never. They don't look like they've got another 80 mins in them. Leigh should take them apart next week, like we did over there a few weeks ago.

That's the spirt Chris. And you are right, they did look out on their feet as soon as the whistle blew.
They will come right down the middle at us. We need to move up, hit them hard and they will flag if we can keep our penalties and errors low. The other area of danger for us is around the play the ball near our line. Shut down the acting halfback scoot and the crash ball and I honestly think they have nothing else to worry us.
