Amazing improvement in such a short time. I thought when Bosc went off it might swing Wakey's way but then the penalty that gave them 2 points looked harsh. Not sure about the fitness but they looked miles more confident. Was impressed by how they showed a bit of patience and built pressure until that is Mcshane took the wrong option.

Did anyone notice the HT hooter went at 38mins 50secs ?

And FT at 79mins 42secs.

The Sky clock is not official in the French games something to do with it been sourced from French TV.

Cheers

Could easily have been 14-24 to us at 70 mins.

Molloy and Kavanagh played really well when they don't normally get praise.
Godinet was good. Don't understand those having a go at Miller I thought he was very good. Certainly one of the better players.
Arundel weak in centre but tried hard.
Smith tackled more than usual too.

Very good all round effort. Smith and players making great strides forward. I look forward to the win that is coming.

Simon and Annakin were highlights in what was a very good display by all the forwards. Miller was great in attack although still weak defensively. I think Arundel and Lyne played quite well today in terms of there potential. All round it was a good performance. I actually enjoyed watching my side get stuck in and compete for once.

Does time work differently on French TV?

40 mins is 40 mins.

A very creditable performance....

Thanks but still a long way to go.

There was a letter in league express recently about this, said something along the lines that the Catalan clock doesn't take any notice of the ref's signals for time off/time on.

Seems our coach doesn't agree with all the Tim Smith bashers. From his press conference....

"I thought Tim Smith was quite outstanding again today for us, he was probably the best player for us last week along with Mika Simon. Today I thought they put in very good performances.

I think the thing supporters miss is how much he guides the team and how much he has stepped up in defence.
His kicking was much better too though they shared that out a bit which was good.

it could also be a case that he needs him to perform and bulls him up a bit.

Absolutely, Smith is capable just needs managing back to form.

Must say, Tim's tackling has improved recently. Put in some crucial stops yesterday.
