While I'm not going to say our discipline isn't poor, we all know it is, today I'm really struggling to see what we are doing so much worse than Catalans yet we are getting hammered on the penalties and restarts.

Now I know the ones given against us are fair enough, but Catalans can seemingly do what they want, including taking the kicker down late, and we get nothing for it.

Right lads lets have a 10 minutes of brain farts

My 81 year old Mum is going to climb over the fence and walk over to Grix and rip up her season pass in front of him !!!!

You can blame the coach for alot but when your half backs cant count to 5 your in trouble.

Its dross served up by two poor teams
expect more from Catalans

Pathetic second half this.

Be glad when Grix isnt steering the bus.

Really like the look of Cartwright. With a full pre season under him and hopefully an injury free run he will be a very good player for us. Fantastic defence, strong runner and can also play with the ball.

Our attack is just so non existent it's laughable. Sezer and Abdull will help with the organisation side of it and getting the line set, but we really need somebody who can coach attacking plays and I'm not sure we will have that.
Other than kicks we didn't look like scoring. Yet in the first half Davies couldn't get anywhere near Martin on kicks, so why did we not try that again even once in the 2nd half. It was the only way we looked like we would get points and still chose not to do it, preferring to run it on the last instead.

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?

Can't fault the effort, main objective was to keep that scoreline down...job done.


First half thought we gave it a good go, 2nd half, sloppiness/tiredness set in, a few strange calls by the ref helped Catalans get a stranglehold on the match, including a blatent obstruction on their 3rd try when Fage made a break through the gap his team mate created moving in front of the fc player to stop him getting to Fages!


All in all.....thank god its over!

A better effort but need to keep perspective that it was a dead rubber, had Catalan neded the win it would have been another heavy score.

Liked the look of Kemp and Martin and Barron look settled as our wings now. I also think Moy has a big future and Cartwright makes more impact than what weve had at 2nd row for a while.

Now its time for the Men In Black to come and wipe this year from our minds.

Wondering about Briscoe too, and he also has a role to play next year aa Hardakers designated driver
