| Quote ="A Stoat"A ridiculous decision to play him and a rather ridiculous performance from a man who clearly thinks the human cannonball is a fantastic role model for Rugby League.
Strangest thing has to be that he played instead of Youngquest who must be gutted that he plays well this season and plays well when he comes on for Thomas and yet seemingly gets benched simply because he isn't a Union has-been with a profile.
The more suspicious amongst us may think that the showing of this game by Sky on a night (when there were clearly 3 better games that we'd have rather watched on the box) may have come about solely because the powers that be are trying to desperately sell the Crusaders to the Welsh and the appearance of Thomas created the justification for showing a poor game on TV.'"
The fixture was listed as being shown on TV long before Thomas signed.
Agree regards Younquest although he has been poor to average in the early rounds he found his feet last week and it was a tough call to drop him. Showed up well when he came on. |

having watched the game again this morning. I can not understand why catalans did not heap more preasure on him while he was on. the end result could have been alot different had the done this. he clearly needs more time to adjust. Catalan should have took advantage of that.

Again one of the reasons Thomas was signed was due to the leadership he brings. He'll play a massive role in the match build up and training.
He's also been brought in to rustle up some media interest as well. I'd say it's worked, how many times would there have been a five page thread on here about Catalans vs Crusaders? There are numerous pages likes this all over the site as well.

I agree, but speaking from changing room experience he needs to improve his game very quickly, there is only so long you can talk like a leader and not lead on the pitch. |

It was always going to be televised, it was the first Non-English Super League game. |

This is the big problem for Noble - Crusaders don't have a reserve team to bed him in via. |
