Much better, but still a bit early to be popping open the bubbly.

Thought we played pretty well in the first half with few errors and penalties. Was a bit of a dogfight, livened occassionally by BJB.

Second half was scrappy from both sides with plenty of handling errors, although we always seemed to be in control - a bit like a reverse of the Wakefield game. We got the rub of the green mostly, i thought.

Overall, looked solid in defence (albeit not having to face Bosc) but not much threat in attack. Pitch seemed heavy and was a bit damp, so i guess we can hope for better in the future.

Gave away 3 penalties on the fifth tackle, none of which could have been considered try savers.

Agree there are postives but we've just won our first home game in 8 months so lets not get too carried away

D'uh - Target Bell on the wing and lack of speed due to Walters not playing Bently (so no quick ball). I'd make some bantery comment about Ferriol bringing back the Biff, but I hear there was a proper injury.

I for one am very happy. We have not gone for the easy route and got an Aussie even though we are the wooden spoon team. We are promoting our youngsters. I think we are very lucky to have so much more then a normal Super League coach, instead we have a coach who is using the fact that noone gets relegated and has the balls to blood youngsters! Bodes well for the future, and we do have a future. I am in Perth, and I feel from here eben I know we have a future.

First opportunity to post my two penn'oth on the Catalans match as I went on holiday straight after the game.

Ben Bolger was eye catching, very impressed with him. I thought Oliver Wilkes had a sound game as well. Good to see Willie in fine form. The second try was just staggering, absolutely fantastic. A bit different from his showing in the home game v Cats last season! Still can't quite work out Brian Mac's "Will is a cat" quote. Still, we needed the win.
