I thought we defended ok against an attack marshalled by Carney and myler.

Nice to see Jodie on form too. Think he will get game time and tries en francais.

Thought we was by far the better team, our forwards outmuscled Catalans and they seemed to only make ground off the back of some dodgy penalties. Thought Connor and Ellis looked very good in the halves and we could have scored more had last pass gone to man. Rapira a massive plus for me a good old fashioned non nonsense ball playing prop forward who will compliment Huby very well. Jerry back to doing what he did all last season and Leroy doesnt get the credit he deserves for giving the quick ball to put Jerry away. Smurph Mr reliable as always and Hinchcliffe very good organiser. Grixy also deserves a mention as went well till got his knock. But the BIG plus was we look 2 yards faster than we did last year. Catalans tipped by many to go well this year but second best Saturday by a country mile

What actually happened to Grix I saw nothing.

No one near him- Went down like he'd been shot....... someone in the crowd?

As I say the way he went down in agony clutching his leg and after treatment walked freely off the pitch suggests cramp to me. He also stayed out in the dugout which he would not have done if the injury was a concern.

My money would have been on you Durham....

on the wrong end of the penalty count yet again for this game

seems we havent yet learned about pens

also how we let teams off the hook, was 10-0 up and could have put the game to bed but went in at half time 10-6

same old.. hope we learn soon

What was the crowd for this game ?

cant find a crowd figure

less than 1500 for the crowd, no official figure given

poor crowd that, hope the club put another friendly on for us next season but cant complain if they dont if fans cant be bothered to watch , costs too much to put a game on.. maybe just openong one stand kept the costs down though

to be fair, it was only a trial/friendly/pre-season game, call it what you want, and although it's nice to watch some rugby after the winter, these games aren't to everyone's liking, added to that, that Catalans aren't exactly glamorous opponents and £15 for adults, it was never going to attract anything like a decent crowd!

again, unless the club can secure a glamorous game and very cheap tickets to entice people, then pre-season friendlies will never attract a good turnout.

Unfortunately our league games don't either
