The last time we nilled a team away from home was April 2011 against Salford.

Did we get any credit for that win either?
Or were Salford for that weekend the worst side ever to play sport.

What impressed me was players reaction to a Catalan error with a couple of minutes to go, it was really celebrated, as if they had set themselves a goal of nilling Catalan.

That was highly noticeable and really good to see... What was obvious was the side had been set a number of targets and they had pretty much achieved the full house (the win, tries from open play, nilling the opposition).

For all the criticism he has had, Price deserves much credit for instilling that mentality into the players.

Only just watched the highlights & some good tries were scored ,in fact there didn't look a lot wrong with the Catalans efforts. It must have been difficult for both teams in the driving rain & i suppose we should accept the win as an improvement over the Huddersfield result in similar conditions. Price seemed a lot more encouraged that we are heading in the right direction & hopefully we can continue to improve next week & over Easter.

Just watched the game back because something stood out to me but wanted to check it. Jack Hughes not one single pass did he make, don’t get me wrong I’ve nothing against him but is that what we want from a 2nd row player, we have Atkins as the non passer we don’t need another.

Dreadful conditions, score 5 tries, concede none, winning 26-0 away from home and people are still moaning.
I'd settle for exactly the same display and result for the next few games.

Maybe...but he was the highest tackler.

Team spirit looks good.

He's a modern day Gary Sanderson.. Under appreciated by fans, yet coaches love him because of the work ethic they show.

Don't think he will ever have many fans on the terraces, but every side has that type of player.

Irrelevant information considering the conditions.

There is only one moaning this week. The same person every week. He is well known for it.
