once Cas got into top gear Catalan couldn't handle us.
Very Jekyll & Hyde performance.
Adam Milner MOM tackled like a man possessed in the first half.

Looked like the proverbial bubble had burst after 15 minutes. Bizarre decision from Catalan to kick for goal at 12 0 so early. They could have been 18 0 up with us having only had 2 sets.! Really poor start from us. Frustrating game of in honest. We either score tries or make lots of errors attempting to score , ala knock on forcing the pass and whip it wide and end up in touch. Better sides would have beaten us today. Need to improve against Huddersfield.

Junior Moors is good.

The performance was average & disjointed at best, but the two points were gained so we move in to Huddersfield.
Great effort from the fans though; 8,126 on Mother's Day against Catalans shows what can be achieved when the team try to play an exciting brand of rugby.

A try directly from the scrum against the head as well - you don't that much these days. http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sp ... t-the-head

The temperature at kickoff was 15.8 degrees, which is the average temperature in Perpignan for the month of March. This allowed Iainsworth Thornley, Richard Myler and Lukas Walsh to show their superior class and build up a 14-0 lead.

Unfairly, at 3.43pm the sun dipped behind the main stand of the 1860's era Mend A Hose Jungle, dropping the temperature to 14.1 degrees and thereby allowing Zackary Hardaker, Grantington Millington, Joeleon Monaghan and Gregory Eden to score undeserved trys in the now arctic conditions, with Lukas Gale adding some fluke conversions.

From there on in Catalans were clearly the better of the 2 teams but were unable to add to their 4 away wins since joining Super League in 2006.
