Great effort, but at the end of the day, just not good enough, 3 key players out, losing Swift didn't help either, but need to add quality to replace players like Lovodua.

Serious question, why do you only comment when we are losing or get beat, I'm really intrested to know?

Because he's an annoying d.ick that's why.

Effort again in abundance. Wrong options taken but on another day they come off. Catalans certainly top team ATM. Swift looked in a bad way. IMO we are a work in progress but certainly going the right way. Hopefully not to many injuries for next week. Tried your best today lads just fallen short

Effort was there just some dumb stuff for me. We get the ball and try some offloads when we should have being trying to change the momentum and territory battle. We gifted some very soft trys.

Not too disheartened, at least the mentality has gone where we crumble. Just gave up too much territory.

3 from 3 losses on Our League, we should tell them to leave us alone.

We competed against a top side despite being weakened ourselves; after the early season debacle it would be grossly unfair to criticise a whole-hearted effort.

Was clear we lacked the punch to break out of our 20 and threaten, Dragons knew this and did what was necessary.

Think that will be the last we see of Lovodua, injury crises aside.

Was interesting to see Manu Ma’u doing for them precisely what he did for us - pretty much nothing; welded into his channel, strolling around, hands on hips. Personally believe he mentally retired on the original flight over from Aus given the beast he was for the Eels

A really spirited display from Hull but second best today. We did well to come back from 6-20 after half an hour but Catalans were much the better team. Offloads killed us and we often struggled to get yardage.

We didn't throw the towel in though and I'm not disheartened. Catalans are top of the league for a reason. They play a spoiling brand of rugby but are big and fast.

Wrong end of 50/50s and restarts again.
What are these refs looking at??
Cats barely pinged..i dont get it.

Not too disheartened with the loss. Catalans controlled the ruck all game. Their late offloads killed us too.

We seemed to chuck it about a fair bit in our half. Not sure if it was a deliberate tactic from Smith, all I know is it gave me heart palpitations all game.

Scrambled really well in the second half, but the damage was done in the first half with some soft tries conceded.

We've been crying out for a team to not throw in the towel for god knows how long. Smith has seemingly achieved this, we may miss the play off this season but it finally feels we are heading in the right direction.

Effort was there in spades and can’t fault that. Too many individual errors today along with taking the wrong option.
Disappointed I some ways as thought could have beaten them today if we’d been less wasteful but not down hearted.
We let them dictate the pace and slow the game at every opportunity as they clearly didn’t want a quick game.
Thought McIntosh, Scott were excellent today along with Swift before his injury. Savelio, Ligi, Fash, Houghton & Cator worked tirelessly with Clifford and Trueman trying. Thought Lane also a better game coming on for Lovodua who was a poor selection for me.
Carlos had a game he will likely want to forget and Satae whilst doing so good runs for me, didn’t carry the ball enough.

Thought Catalan for a side sat at the top were disappointing and just came with spoiling tactics and slow the game.

Would like to see Staveley given an opportunity in the 2nd row moving on from today.

Pleased we are no longer throwing the towel in and caving in like seasons before and now are digging deep and fighting for each other to stay in games and give ourselves a chance.

Onwards & upwards.

cant fault the effort today, but silly mistakes were punished today by the best team in the league, last game v saints we were getting the bounce of the ball, today it just wasn't happening, even the short kick offs weren't happening for us today. Would like to see Carlos have had a word with Moore about the gamesmanship from Catalan, timewasting at every opportunity, Tomkins wasn't afraid to be in the refs ear most of the match, time we did the same!

Tomkins pushes Houghton out of the ruck area and nothing is said.

Houghton does it and its a penalty.
Give me strength.

Think the talking to the ref is where we are naive as we just don’t question anything particularly as to the difference in what we get pinged for. Think we are also too honest at the ptb instead of diving/falling or making a meal of things to gain a penalty/6 again etc.

If there was ever a reason why we need to sign some big forwards , then that was it , We defended well but we was always struggling to contain Les Dragons pack .
They slowed the ruck area down and made it even more difficult to make any yards .
Not to disappointed with the result , couple of poor reads and the result could have been different .

Then there’s Bousquet‘s try - surely that was double movement. Dived over with ball in his right hand, right arm goes down during tackle, removes ball with his left hand and puts the ball down outside the upright. Not saying we’d have won but wrong calls, small margins and momentum. If right calls made maybe we wouldn’t have had to force it.
