| Quote: Shifty Cat "That's the 3rd game I've watched the Catalans in a row, where they don't seem to know how to make the best use of Johnstone, or Davies for that matter. No doubt Wire has been excellent but Catalans have really lacked that creative spark in attack in all the games recently, it's the same couple of moves every time. They've both been used as battering rams to start their sets from deep. It's as though they don't seem to practice set moves to set their wingers up, using clever dummy runners, players running better angles, short balls, better kicks etc.
Williams's kicking has been excellent and shows what a great kicking game can create. They've missed McMeeken and Mcllorum but tbh meters down the middle isn't what they lacked with Satae in particular having a big game. Maybe Mcllorum would have helped but they created next to nothing in Wire's 20-meter area.
Credit where it's due though, Wire has some proper steal about them this season.'"
I’ve also watched them a few times and I agree. Their halves aren’t firing lately but I think the biggest issue is their fullback Morgue. He’s very poor imo, doesn’t join the line or give the halves options and regularly runs out wide cutting any plays off.

Not long ago I suggested that Jowitt might successfully switch to SO!
Having seen him there I was wrong.
He let no-one down but he is far superior at FB and I feel the same applies to TJ - leave him where he's best - in fact where he's devastating!

| Watched Catalan a few times this season and I don't think they are as good as last year. They seem to ignore Toms side in attack and give very few chances. Even when they go that way in order to create something, that French centre is terrible and totally ignores Tom. HIs role this season just seems to be a battering ram up the middle bring the ball away from deep.

| Most players are right handed and their strongest pass is to the left so it’s weird he isn’t getting many tries. As said, Romano doesn’t look to pass so it’s a long season for him/them. Fages doesn’t seem to suit their style.

| He certainly hasn't lost any speed. He must have given Thewlis 5 metres start and easily caught him.

I thought that he absolutely out paced him and thewlis has a reputation as a flyer

Anyone who’s watched TJ last year and this would know he hasn’t lost and speed. Not sure why anyone would think that in the first place. TJ should be hitting his best form over this next few years.

| I watched it and him and Wellsby were the two standouts.
Didn’t make a single mistake
Defended a 2 v 1 successfully
Nothing got past him all game
Scored 2 try’s
Set up Wellsby for his try after a good run and offload
Carved through 6 players and sent a wonder pass to set up Handley try
He practically pulled England from 0-8 nil behind to being in the lead.
The left edge was potent. The right edge of Handley and Newman got targeted early by France and leaked yards and try. That edge made a few knock ons with plays breaking down etc too.
There were a few players that shouldn’t get in again for a while like Newman, Nicholson who are nowhere near ready. The pack was very poor all game and didn’t get on top hardly at all.
Between Wellsby, Johnstone and Lewis that’s where most of the damage was done.

But apart from that he did nothing else though.

Improvement needed. Guess we will still take him next season though.

I've heard that he also served tea at half time.
