On a side note, it's nice to see Mcllorum hasn't changed...

The honeymoon period is over now for Smith.
Let the opposition go full length of the pitch in one set and hope we can defend our line and then rely on scoring desperation, hollywood tries.
If these really are the tactics then we are in trouble.

Yeah, been poor but don’t think Ref helped us at all. They are slowing it down ++ and getting away with it. We are getting pinged….
If we can cut errors and get some momentum second half, still think we’ve got a chance.

Not prepared to do the dirty work - all this short kick off and ‘imagination’ is simply just a cop out. For a team that can’t defend we spend far too much time in our own 40 and it’s mainly our own doing. It’s weak and soft.

Well what a mess. Mixture of being very unlucky with some quite frankly baffling decisions from the ref and video ref and some out and out dumb rugby in defence and attack.

Pearce try was a double movement all day long. Tetavano try was a flat pass. Smith needs to stop right now with all these short kick offs. It’s inviting pressure. Their second try was down to being too passive in defence, Fusitua position was awful.

That 6 again rule is all wrong. Catalan get a huge advantage by holding us down on the line so they can reset and tackle us behind the goal line. Wants scrapping immediately. We should have had a penalty for holding down not a 6 again where the team that’s committed the foul gets rewarded

Re the Martin blunder, the tackler Davies is a marker stood a good metre to the side of the PTB. Can't the video ref rule it out on those grounds?

Agreed

Entertaining game but were being too sloppy, on a side note the six again rule is awful, it should be a penalty on the first tackle, Catalans blatantly cheating and we get no advantage- doesn’t excuse us throwing the ball away though

Very good appraisal that…..

No improvement defence wise. No recognition from the coaches that there's even a problem.
There's a few entertaining bits thrown in but really we're just a worse coached version of Salford.

Weve got possession from 2 out of three of the short kick offs.

But the one we didn't piled on pressure that just broke us further. They would be OK if, again, we were a reasonable defensive side.

We are a complete and utter shambles

Yeah defensively poor; we’re inviting a decent side to play in our 20 and they’re jagging tries.

We need new players to improve further.

Cam Smith been really good this season.

That looked forward from Sezer to Myler. Great run from Austin I take it all back.

It’s too volatile that strategy Chris. Especially when we’re not the best defensively. A big team like Catalan need to be played in their own half not ours. We just look a mess.

It's a great game for the neutrals.
But I don't want to be the team who scores 4 amazing tries but gets beat 46-26 .

MARTIN!!! WTF - PASS THE BALL

Why is Fusitua not jumping there?

What is Martin doing here?!

Don't think I've seen Martin miss as many kicks...

Lisone playing as well as I’ve seen him so far. Tet definitely works better on the edges. O’Connor pretty decent.

This games there to be won but I feel we're just too irratic to take it.

Catalans are shot here

Some quality with the ball then we just fall apart in defence or bomb a chance.
