But as I said, we look forward to the rematch on an injury free day (we hope) to see which team really is the better.'"
What about the extra man you had for 25 minutes? |

Hudds had strong regular performers out with injury as well as Cats. Plus Hudds played with 12 men.
"...scraped in against a severely weakened French side...."
Right oh, if it makes you feel any better, we'll go with that. |

No, I am not bitter. I am just sorry that it wasn't a full strength matchup with 13 men on the field for each side for the whole game.
We may even meet again not only at Huddersfield, but also in the playoffs. Dureau is worth at least 12 points a game difference against any team, so Catalans will start to climb the ladder when he returns in June. |

Catalans will be in the playoffs and no mistake, high quality team
Giants still not to play their best (barring perhaps away to Leeds)

Not significantly they won't, they are where they are for good reason. They are a good team, in the shake for 4,5,6 spot. A lot better at home than away, but that is understandable given the travel challenges.
Dureau is good no doubt, but the key to Catalans is that massive pack.

Supreb gutsy performance by the Giants.
There is a team spirit and a confidence which is great to see. Two huge games coming up now.

Spot on code 13, would have let the refs shocking performance affect us, different mentality this season and credit to Paul Anderson and all the back room staff but massive credit to all the players for getting their heads sorted!!

You already had two more men on your side than we had for a significant part of the game. Having 7 more would really be taking the pipi. |

ref said late tackle but it wasnt. Maybe was a bit high on Escare but you see worse every week. Would like to see it again but it looked harsh IMHO |

I could not see any reason why, as far as I saw, the Catalan player ran straight into Robbo and he could not get out of the way. Full on body to body contact.
If anyone can come up with a different view I would like to know.

Either way it's a credit to the team to get a win over there and to win with 12 men for that period is even greater credit.
Power to them and all the fans who went.
