Quote: Rogues Gallery "Some of the posts on here are embarrassing. We got beat, in a game that was very even for most of the game, by a team who played the best rugby I've seen for many years earlier this season at Wigan.
With a full team at their disposal Catalan will give any team a run for their money.
Maybe Wigan weren't 100% on their game, but that doesn't happen every game, and sometimes you have to accept defeat graciously.
Well done Catalan.'"
well said RG
post of the weekend !
Wigan were outcoached IMO - Robinson did his homework on Wigan and stifled much of the attacking efforts of Hoffman & co. Young Sam did his best and Charnley for me was the Wigan MOM but poor displays from Carmont & Leuluai & Finch but the Wigan play was too predictable for me with too much reliance on Richards down the left side.Ferriol,Fakir,Simon & co stopped anything through the middle and Greenshields mopped up pretty well anything Deacon put up in the air.Baile,Sa & Millard worked like trojans and Hendo,Dureau & Pelissier looked very reliable.As a neutral I was rather disappointed with the Wigan approach to the game but impressed with the solid Catalans teamwork and discipline despite not really having the rub of the green with some very dubious decisions going against Catalans by Mr Silverwood IMO.
A well deserved win and comiserations to the loyal Wigan fans who were great as usual but rewarded with only a mediocre display from their team.
