Catalans Coast Past Bulldogs : Fri May 06, 2016 8:54 pm  

Catalans Coast Past Bulldogs After seeing off the challenge of Featherstone Rovers in the last round, Batley Bulldogs were rewarded with a home tie against Super Leagues' second placed side the Catalans Dragons. With the exception of that Challenge Cup win, the Bulldogs have not recorded a victory since the end of March, but only a fool ever writes off a side coached by cup king John Kear. The Dragons, having a superb season and pushing for the minor premiership, were massive favourites for the win at 1/66 whereas you could get a very generous 14/1 on Batley to progress. Batley had a twenty-eight point start on the coupon, the bookies gave them no chance. READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

I went to the match. There were about 10 Catalanglaises there.For the first time in a while I saw Duport pass the ball .In fact I saw it twice. The first time ,with three unmarked players to find the pass was 2metres forward . The second time he put Myler in with a pass that was a mere 1 metre forward.Secondly the rest of the team continually missed out Albert. Yes ,I know he was having a bad game ,but that will not have helped his confidence. No Stewart in the second half . Is he O.k ? The pitch looked like a crown green bowls rink with a downward slope.Marks out of 10 Gigot 7,Yaha 5 Horo 8 Duport 7 Richards 7 Myler 6 Albert 4 Casty 7 Pelissier 7 Taylor 8 Stewart8 Anderson 8 Baitieri 7---Plus Bousquet 8 Mason 7 Mounis 7 Bosc 7

He made a lot of unforced errors and could not act as a playmaker . He is not ready for this level.
