Absolute shiiiiite. To blow an 18 point lead in 20 minutes is criminal, assume it’s all fine when the coach is your mate though.

Well......that was.....dreadful.
What the hell happened to our right edge?!
If you can't defend a 3 score lead then you don't deserve to win.

On the upside I really like the look of Manu M'au.

what about the first 20 minutes.camped in their 20 with all the possession and come away with nothing
We once again lose our way in the opposition 20.
Thats what we mean about coaching.Surely this should have been addressed by now.

Strange one that, after 60 mins, some really really good performers, manu, fonua, houghton, shaul. Then everyone just downed tools, really strange, is fitness an issue? Which is worrying if so, really odd and very disappointing, another long season me feels

Where was the captain on the field or the coaching staff when everyone knew Catalan would kick short to Folau yet didnt put an extra man or two to defend the kick.
As soon as Folau received the ball two or three defenders should have put him in touch.

Your exactly right,in front with 2 mins to go they had to go short,get the ball and you win,its not rocket science.

I dont think fitness is an issue
the problem i see is that we switch off the concentration then when the pressure builds the indiscipline kicks in.
We also have to do something about our attack in the opposition 20.At the moment we just lose our way and lets teams off the hook.
Catalan should have been dead and buried in the first 20 minutes never mind the 20 minutes in the second half

Fitness isnt an issue but the management of interchanges certainley is, some players are out on their feet but left on and the inevitable try comes.

Sorry but Eliis, Taylor, Sao should of been on ten minutes earlier to see the win out, in my eyes thats very poor coaching.

No utility on the bench to cope with Connors loss, whats wrong with Cator? Surely a better option than Fash.

Better players but nothings changed

Time for a new coach

you have got to give credit to catalans they look a decent team this year.will be very hard to beat on their own ground, both teams have a chance of success this year

I thought we should have got a penalty for a tackle on Shaul in the air, when we were still 6 in front. That could have got us down field for an attempt at drop to go 7 clear. But it wasn't to be.

Disappointing way to lose, after we put in a good performance and built up a match winning lead.

We put the cue on the rack and Catalans said "we aren't finished yet"

No reason why we can't win the next 5 and be 7 from 10

Absolute dumb !! . Everyone in the stands knew where the ball was going , Why the hell didn't we put up a taller player opposite Folau . Credit to Catalans they looked like scoring everytime they had the ball in that second half .

Simply inexcusable to surrender an eighteen point lead.

Catalans are a good team but we just invited them back into the game.

Dumb play from the short kick off.

Everyone but the coaching staff and captain on the field.
just needed to double up on Folau and as soon as he had the ball push him in touch
Tomkins showed what a good full back should be doing and someone like Evalds should be a priority for next season.
Love him or hate him Tomkins is a class act

I'd give Wynne a go this season and see how he gets on. Realise he is still very inexperienced but so far he's looked good when he's played. If he shows us something we're currently lacking then we may not need to sign a new full back. If not then at least we know and can start a search.

Pathetic. The game should have been over by half time the amount of possession we had in their 20 but we have props stood at first receiver or driving it in time and time again. If portillo is coaching attack he wants sacking. Defence is even worse than attack. This squad is so underperforming that its beyond ridiculous. No direction and no leadership on the pitch
