I’m not a fan of OTT positivity either, particularly when a team has lost every battle on the field but we are where we are. I will offer one mitigation in the team’s defence, the six again rule kills us against a big team. Catalans just lie on, take the defensive reset and stifle any kind of attacking play we can offer.

I disagree, Catalans defence doesn’t look great when we get in their half, no reason if we got on a roll we couldn’t score 2/3 try’s in a short period like they have. It’s not likely but I still feel we have a fighting chance.

Bet teams must love fans like you.

Sorry mate your being delusion we have been 2nd best in everything, just not good enough at present, no way we win this game

Get him dropped for Hampshire great kicker as well

It seems like it’s the only way to win but we our offloading game isn’t great, I just think open the game up and hopefully our quick players can exploit players struggling with the heat. We need Smith to convert some of these try’s too.

No way we can afford the number of basic errors we've been making against a team like Catalans. We knew we'd struggle in the forward battle but with handling errors, kicks out on the full and obstruction penalties you have no chance.

The inconsistency in fundamentals has been 6 weeks running now. Not impossible to come back and we sneak a try early but a tough watch so far.

Packs getting mullered.

Not one mention from Sky of us missing 5 senior, first 17 forwards.

I’ve heard about Tom Davies turned ankle in training about 4 times though

Fuc*ing e had enough now pathetic

Not doing our points difference any favours. This could easily be 50/60 if Catalans don’t ease off.

Field, Nsemba, King and Miski - that whole right side are having defensive horror shows.

Second best in all areas today, being ripped a new one.

Take it and move on, fear the worst for saints next week, this pack will get destroyed

Can we rename the thread 'field needs to bend his back'?

Complete turd. Sick of hearing about culture, I'm more interested in talent and application.

What makes this worse is this was one of the few games I had down as winnable in this period, could be a tough spell until we get some more bodies back, really think we need to get offloading and try and play more expansive but sometimes it’s not as simple as that and you have to set a platform with your pack.
