What a dirty niggly horrible side Catalans are.

Dreadful game, never got going.

And also a shocking decision by the ref on the NFL screen pass by Scott Grix for the try.

But on the positive a great gritty win and some luck at last. Should get 4th now.

My only changes for next week would be drop Grixy and rest Robbo.

Hard to tell how individual performances went in a strange game.

Team next week does not really matter. However I filly expect the same 17 for the play off games to follow.

Next week means the difference between 4th and 5th

4 th is important as we get an extra home fixture which helps financially and on the pitch

It doesn't matter in that whichever of the squad we play we should still be capable of beating Wakefield. Personally I would pick the same17.

I would like to see Simpson and Leeming back in the 17. Didn't really notice Wood today, or was it because there was so much going on elsewhere and usually off the ball.
Agree with the above poster though, Catalan are a terrible niggly side.

Ref let Catalan lay on in tackle something shocking, making a quick play the ball impossible. Also Brough not protected after a kick leading to his yellow card.
Extremely humid conditions led to a knock-on-athon by both teams, playing in such conditions will be stamina draining.

Any win in France is a big win, not many go there and win, only the 2nd time we have won there too.

not a great game, awful infact but the 2 points is what was needed here.

ferres injured again? arm this time, he was awful though before he went off must have lost the ball 3/4 times.

wood injured too.

if we keep 4th does this mean we have to return to catalans in the super 8's

Awful game to watch but a win over there doesn't happen to anybody very often so very happy.
We also never let Catalan, get a quick play of the ball. The game was in slow motion, very got going and was hard to watch.

Will brough get a ban regarding next weeks team selection?

its not like catalans ever get any decisions over there is it

wood got injured.

yes leeming and simpson in for me too.

Awful game in what must have been very difficult conditions. Very pleasing two points in view of the fact Catalan set their stall out to wind the Giants ( particularly Brough ) up from the start. Even better we got a try from a pass a mile forward.

Not the best game from Wardle by his standards, instrumental in both their try's, and well done to Hughes for a great chase on Escare. Only Leeds and us had the spoils there this season, so well done. Come on Wakey.

We didn't score off a forward pass.

People need to either 1) have their eyes tested.

or 2) Learn the laws of physics because I'd love to know how a player can pass a ball to aonother player that is 3 yards behind them, who catches the ball still 3 yards behind them, in a forward direction.

Had you been drinking before the game? Grix passes near to 20 metre line. His hand are in a forward direction. Mcgillivary stretching takes the ball at least 3 metres in front of the 20 metre line,
