I think you’ve probably nailed the answer to your own question in your first sentence. Their game plan to me is using their forward power to dominate opposition packs, turning the game into a slug fest which suits their style. They’re not the fittest side by a long stretch so playing that way helps conserve energy plus they use the Catalonian heat much to their advantage.

It was a good attendance but I can tell you that Salford had considerably more fans at OT than Catalans. I’m not sure why you Saints fans are so touchy, my post was about a fact not a dig at Saints. You guys want to make an argument about anything it reminds me of Utd and City prior to the last 10 years or so, small team mentality syndrome but neither Saints or City fall into that category. I can only assume that the hatred of Saints fans is far deeper than I thought and most are not honest enough to acknowledge it.

Clinging on for dear life the saints fans. They dominated the covid era of the sport and are all panicking now.

I think we should just be pleased with a decent attendance, All credit to the Wigan fans (and I was one of them), but we needed a good crowd, and we got it. And there were a lot more Cats fans than I expected. Some of them even spoke French!

Has there been any update on Havard ?
Did he take himself off because he felt his hamstring tightening or did it go altogether again ?

Looks to be a good programme on at 8:30 on channel 4 tomorrow.
