Catalan look like they’ll be a couple of front rowers short for a few games.

I was really impressed with Channel 4 refreshingly pertinent commentary and it was an incident packed game which they utilised well to acclimatise the unconverted viewer. As someone said less is more is a good lesson for Sky. Well done to them I thought, Super league at last on mainstream TV.

I'll bet the unconverted viewers were real impressed with the drummer channel 4 hired for the occasion

agree with you there marcus.i had to take paracetamol.

What a game for C4 to broadcast , Some cracking tries in this opening round too , Saints look very good again , Toulouse need some signings asap .

Interesting that the only home team to win were Saints, especially when Rovers were such a banker!!
