think you will find that the ugly stuff and consistent infringements were a result of Wakefield upping the game tempo. Something any team can afford to do if you have a half decent lead. We didn't mix things up enough today but when we did do a few different things they came off. Ref was bad but we were worse. Far too much wrestling first half. Yes you have first stop big men going forward but when a team is offloading like they did someone one needs to put them to floor a lot quicker.

Said before the game that I was worried how much mentally and physically last weeks game had taken out of us.

Disgusted that Mr Roby gets paid for that. Yes we were poor but how many times can you warn a team for head hunting and not punish them with ten minutes. Any other ref and they would have had at least 2 players banned, if not more.

Poor performance end of. Unfortunately I think we'll have a few more of these over the second half of the season. We've been playing on spirit and adrenalin and that can only take you so far. Expect some heavier defeats than this but keep backing the lads as they are clearly busting a gut but we all know what they're up against. I don't envisage any more than three more wins this season at most.

Decided to let it go [ilast year[/i after constantly seeing 5 scoots from dummy half and a poor kick, but some good performances (giving the ball air!) have kept me interested this time around, I always show my support in the club store and that way I have something to show for my money other than a week of depression. There have been a couple of times I've wanted to go this year but haven't been able to get anyone to cover at work.
I'll be watching in person though when we get the stadium and the nipper can see for once. I think only then will we have the fillip to give 100% which is something that we haven't over the last few years, especially last and I'm not paying £20 to see folk going through the motions.

No one going through the motions this season, we may not be good enough but they keep going til the very end even when the chips are down

Personally I cannot see many positives other than Johnson on the wing. I think Howarth is way off the mark but gets picked week in week out. The pack lack ideas and creativity but also the amount of possession we had near their line without gaining points was criminal. We look as if we do not know what is coming next, no planned moves and it's like U14's rugby where everyone wants tro take it from half back and score against four static defenders which very rarely comes off.
I do not blame the ref for the deisplay today, in fact when we got a bad decision, then it was the only time we played with spirit. The French created overlaps and ran through gaps for fun.

I love to watch Wakefield whatever but despite the physical dominance of Les Cats we did make them look good. Perhaps its time for a bit of a reschuffle on all fronts.

Got to agree - it's in no way an excuse (the best team definitely won on the day) but for me, Mr Roby was bordering on negligent today; he totally failed to protect the players and let the french forwards get away with murder.

In my view, this young chap has got some significant way to go before he is competent to be in charge of a SL game.

We were poor today but Catalans played well would I think would have beaten most sides.

I thought for us Davey went well and was our best player.

One thing that must be said is that bar Korky, Hendo and Morrison, all our players were under 25 and all our backs were 22 and under.

Next week is a big game IMO. Salford are a team that we should be able to push all the way and with a bit of luck snnek a win.

Men against boys, in every way possible.

Can't agree re howarth he has a great passing game and creates plenty of tries for us

I agree with you on this. I thought he played ok today until his injury.

His defence is sound too. Missed a few last week but very out of character

Eric, i think your way off the mark with Howarth. Today he was injured after 5 minutes which caused him to make some uncharacteristic errors.

If you watch alot of our tries down the right hand side they come through Howarth's passing. His timing and pass selection is superb. The lad is very intelligent and reads the game well and generally is always supporting the ball carrier.
