too many penalties given away again on the first or second tackle in the opposition 10/20

Club should post Degsy a humble pie

Glad its over some positives again today, Moy, Martin and Barron played well and thought Kemp showed some nice touches. Cartwright was excellent looking forward to see him with better pivots and a full pre season.

Cant be too critical about today, too many young kids and players who aren't good enough, didn't get a lot of the ref and sure we had a perfectly good try ruled out at 10-4 (but will need to watch it again).

We can moan about signing the halfs we have signed, but it can't be any worse that Smith, that last play when he didnt' kick was madness, but to do it twice more is unforgivable.

Roll on next season

poor old Deggsy had to cancel his appointment at the high court now what will he think up next to diss us for signing his best player some better stuff today but too many woeful players in the patches where our heads go and we just chase shadows. Cartwright is going to be good for me if he gets a good preseason in and our two wingers went really well. Shame for Danny and Carlos but they both gave their all. Let's see now what happens next, precious little if Adams programme notes are anything to go by.

Yes there were headless chickens out there today, Catalans woke up when big Chris came on.
We clearly struggled once Houghton went off. He’s not a leader and our half backs are kids. Smith had a few brain farts but he’s not a half back either.
Martin and Barron continue shine.
We are bringing in leaders next season,
Players that have won big games.
I know the resident doom merchants will scoff but I think we will be ok next season.

I feared the worst when I saw the XVII but the effort in the first half coupled with some Catalans errors meant a hammering wasn't going to happen.

Kemp went well, Martin and Barron again look the part and Cartwright was very good.

What's the story with Briscoe? Has he just been ill for two weeks or is there more to this?
