For me one of the best performances of the season.

Kyle wood was great before his injury
Murphy excellent - some good defensive decisions
Pack very good (usual two errors from tai )
Still not impressed with Broughton.
Leeming needs some more first team experience
Some good leadership by Broughy.

All in all very happy.

Bit lacking in atmosphere and I think Big G and his drum were a big part of the atmosphere there was

Great pace from Tansey but crap kicking.

Enthusiasm and togetherness were the big things today for me.

We geed each other up when we forced an error and our heads didn't drop when we made one ourselves. Best we have played in ages IMO but we are still capable of much better.

I've slated them for a perceived lack of effort in the past but I can't do that today. They wanted it and they got it so credit to them.

Best performance of the season you must be having a laugh, we were ok, better than last week but thats not hard and i though catalans were absolutely shocking! the worst team to have played at our place this season...they looked abit like us not being able to complete sets.. we still dropped way too much ball.

the 2nd half was abit more like it from us, i thought we won the battle in the forwards, kaufusi and crabtree we great!

brough was the man of the match for me, whoever gives these man of the matches out at the game is having a laugh giving it robinson (though he did ok).

mcgillvary another hat trick

murphy slotted back in perfect, good to see him back, cudjoe was limping badly at full time last week so must have not recovered.

hope the wood injury is not too bad.

the atmosphere for the catalans games is actually one of the better ones surprisingly ...when the britannia stand gets everyone clapping to the barmy army song its great

The problem is the atmosphere you are talking about started when the win was secured. It was like a church when the support was needed.

I must have missed Jerrys third try. Unless you did an Eddie Hemmings and mistook either Wood, Smurph, Ferres or Wardle for him.

That's you're opinion, I thought Robbo was more than Ok and gave him MoM.
As for Cudjoe, nothing to do with the limping, he needs to remember where he's from and who he plays for, the grass is not always greener on the other side!!!!!

Apart from first game at Wigan. I thought this was our best game, our forwards didn`t back down, and did some good hard carries. Defence was a lot better today than it has been.

Re: Catalans post game : Sun Jul 27, 2014 6:55 pm  

Great game to watch and great team effort! One problem I did have was the crowd booing for the ref for forward passes and offsides too often. Also when the first half finished it was booing the ref rather than congratulating the team on a winning first half. I know it was Bentham but it got a bit silly.

Re: Catalans post game : Sun Jul 27, 2014 7:34 pm  

wood was brill before is injury kaffusi was my man of the match first time on of our forwards put down a marker.smurth at Centre made a big difference in deference. but most all they look like a team that was working for each other as for brughton again a very solid game

Re: Catalans post game : Sun Jul 27, 2014 7:49 pm  

That was the most important thing IMO; they were more unified today. Kaufusi did well and tried to hurt them, fairly, but hurt them. It's the time of the season where we have to turn up or turn it in. No more soft stuff, no more nice guys and no more soft touches.
