And he should get a ban for running into Kendle.
Thought he was a grub tonight. Glad Kendle called him out about it. Hope disciplinary don't bottle it.

Fair comments and agree re BJB, who I thought had a good game defensively and was willing to help out his forwards taking the ball up.
On the other wing TJ would have had a second stroll in had Bill Tupou pass the ball - frustrating!!!!

Players have been banned previously for far less and more accidental contact than that.
It was clear, deliberate contact and should be a couple of games.

Catalan are like Wigan reserves, Tierney, Tomkins, McIllorum and Matty Smith and just as grubby.

How good was Big Dave, an absolutely immense performance.

Fifita stats for last night:

Tries - 1
Tackles - 33
Marker Tackles - 7
Missed Tackles - 0
Busts - 4
Carries - 16
Metres - 130
Errors - 0
Penalties conceded - 1

Certainly a 9 1/2 / 10 performance and damn close to 10/10

Let's hope that Saints smash Leeds all over the park tonight and we can make it 2 on the bounce next week.

Come on Trin !

Must be frustrating as **** for both our wingers. Tom gets one pass on the wing during the full 80 and that was from Hampshire. Fastest guy in the league and he's frozen out week after week feeding on scraps and cut out passes. Has he ever received a pass from Tupou??

Catalans got away with murder last night, but Kendall got no help from the linesmen as per.

I know that we shouldn't mention the other code on here but, they do make far better use of the "TMO" in their sport.
If the ref isn't sure what has gone on, he can ask to see the "incident" again and then rule on what he sees.

There were 3 or 4 late hits on Trinity players after the ball had gone and I think that only one was penalised.
I know there is a balance between letting the play flow and stopping the game for infringements but, this would help clean up some of the stuff that went on last night.
I know that Catalan have always played this way and the 4 players they have from Wigan will be well versed in the dark arts but, McNamara hasn't coached his previous sides in that style, so, why now ?

Well one of the touch judges was the same guy who reported Brough for mouthing off last week. However he got a right mouthful off Gigot last night and never said a word. The guy also refs a few games, I forget his name, but god help us when he is in charge of us again.

I agree there were grub tactics being shown by Catalan last night.
One that I don't think has been mentioned is that often in the tackle the Catalan player tried to lunge forward after the tackle was completed and deliberately push the marker backwards. They got a few penalties by doing this and the ref seemed oblivious to this tactic.

Or blatantly moving off the mark to ensure that a player on the ground was interfering (we did manage to gain a penalty ourselves in the second half using the same tactic).
I'm not sure that Kershaw had full control last night but, at least the Fifita try went to the VR as "try", that was a huge call for us and he blocked Tomkins , although no way would Tomkins have prevented the try.

Get big Dave signed up, everything about him is brilliant. Big minutes, carries well, wins penalties (more players need to wriggle when tackled as it wins penalties) and a try which to be honest he shouldn't be allowed to score!

Just a thought. Did anyone see how Hicks ended up on the floor against Saints. I just saw when him getting up right in front of the North stand but no doubt the RFL will be monitoring incidents involving the ref

carney joked to tomkins about being on holiday for two weeks tonight which I thought was funny,
what was even more funny was the nice shiner that tomkins was wearing

Thought the commentary said Hicks had just fallen over.

Probably tripped over his ego
