Dave Taylor was brilliant today and totally destroyed us, be that by his strong and powerful running or his passing or even his kicking.
The only part of the game we dominated was when he was off the field.

I had to leave a tad early yesterday and didnt see the last try. Am i right in thinking they scored all there points whilst DT was on and we scored all ours whilst he was off????

I seem to remember that as long as overseas players stay in France less than 3 years they pay no tax at all on their earnings. Neither do they have to pay National insurance so they basically work 'cash in hand'.

Again looking at their squad and asking yourself how they fit those players in the cap, I am sure if you look at Warringtons and others, the exercise would be just as hard.

I must admit that before I went to the game yesterday I was quitely optimistic. Then I saw Catalans warm up and heard their team sheet being read out. That is when I realised we had little chance because man for man they are a far better team of big name/skilled players. It left me hoping that their reputation for travel would help us.

All in all I felt their pack (including Taylor) totally steam rolled us in the first half. Myler then stood out for me in the second.

Our attack was promising in the end. The problem we really do have yet again this season is defence. Just look at the league table and our against score, it is shocking. We really need to tighten defence and avoid blow out scores like we had at Cas, Wire and yesterday.

Thought losing by 14 was a tad unlucky in the end and hardly a blow out.

Don't think luck had much to do with it.

I was at the match yesterday with my family and saw Trinity completely out played for big chunks of the game. It changed slightly when man mountain Taylor left the field and Willie Mason came on with little impact.

Fair play they didn't throw the towel in. Trinity started to throw the ball about and looked better with Tupou on the pitch getting some good tries and getting back into the game...Also think Catalan changed gear when they had to when Taylor came back on and Carney and Myler clicked back in gear.

Half back is required but think the front row will also need looking at down the line...Anthony England gave 100% and that was plain to see, cracking signing by Brian Smith as was A.Tupou and T.Arona.
