Catalans plan,according to Robinson was to come out strong not like the earlier league fixture where they were playing catch-up - the plan worked and most things did 'come off' but it was a great atmosphere and intimidating for any visiting side especially when you only have a few dozen away fans to cheer you on (they did their best !)
Catalans were awesome but looked vunerable on their left but hung on and eventually took control
thought Latus did ok along with Vella - the rest looked ordinary IMO
Pelissier was superb but a great team performance with 'luck' having very little to do with it
Few dozen rovers fans more than catalans take to away games overall over the season to away games which is credit to them fans for spending in excess of 500 quid over two weeks is a lot of money,wonder how many we took two weeks ago, rovers were shattered and like I said they said they're goodbyes at the home game last week,I love watching catalans especially when they play expansive rugby they're not cocky with it and I hope they do well in the play offs.
when the HKR team arrived they walked in front of me to the stadium and they all looked,with the exception of Vella,terrified - their body language was bad,there was no way Catalans were going to lose that game...'" |

I've noticed a number of times that you can tell which Rovers team will turn up by watching the warm up. I noticed on the clips pregame they never looked ready or up for it at that point and I feared the worst. Whether it was the long run of must win games took its toll, we eased off once getting into the play offs or they're just not good enough I don;t know either way it was predictable. |

Rovers got into the top 8 and I feel they were happy to just do that they looked tired and not interested, wonder how webbo and cox is cox took a big hit. |

Didn't matter what rovers team turned up on saturday, you don't have the players with teh physical presence to comepet with catalans when they are playing well. Likewise Hull at leeds (Who didn't even need to play particularly well)

Agreed, however lets not kid ourselves that Rovers shortcomings are in any way related to Hull's. Ours is a pack size issue and poor defensive coaching. Based on my limited viewing's, yours is one of a total lack of creativity when in strong field position. You need half backs more than Agar needs a personality. |

it was quite uncanny, JM came past first and looked as if he'd just lost his wallet and the players trooped wearily behind looking as though they were going to the electric chair ! as I said Michael Vella was the only one to look relaxed and chatted away without any problem - big Clint looked the worst ! I've heard of pre-match nerves but that was a bit OTT...
The Catalan players turned up in groups of two or three at a time and looked great,chatting with the fans and joking between themselves - a complete contrast from HKR
at the end all the HKR players were great,chatting to the fans and signing autographs etc - it's as though a great weight had been lifted from their shoulders.....
The only other team I have seen this season with the same look as the HKR players was Leeds - they looked really uncomfortable and also ended up losing as it happens |
