Hope he is fit for wire then only play him small minutes to get him up to speed ready for cup game against saints.

Fooey to run on at loose in Bruno's absence? Fairbank onto the bench (though I would recall Mullally - I don't think thats what Baloo will do).

1 match ban for Lawrence after egp !!

After some of the earlier disciplinary decisions this season -its farcical !



Just shows the inconsistency!

i agree has been really inconsistent... though consistent in catalans case with ban after ban!

fairbank may get his chance this saturday now with lawrence out

Bailey to come straight in for lawrence and start

Safe Journey to everyone who's travelling over this year, see you all at the weekend !!

Poor Poor start, no one taking the legs

it's been a very poor first half from us im afraid, catalans are more enthusiastic than we are, are playing with more speed than we are, we look stuck in the mud so to speak, no real go forward and so far only wardle looks our biggest threat on attack.

of course it doesn't help with all the penalties, some of them needless,some of them pedantic from silverwood.
as for anderson's try,i think monsieur alibert was watching something else.

need to improve massively in the 2nd half or we could be beaten easily.

Some of our senior players need to take a long hard look at themselves. Crabtree, Cudjoe and Brough are utterly woeful and Taii is a sad excuse for a rugby player.

Even allowing for the worst video ref decision ever by Alibert we deserve nothing. Our attitude is a disgrace there is absolutely no discipline.

Need to get some discipline and put them to the ground, 3 players in the tackle and not one on the legs and even when we do take the legs not getting them to ground. missed tackles and poor options.

If we start the 2nd half strong the 2 points are there for the taking. As for Andersons try I'm not surprised by it one bit with that idiot being the video ref.

i wouldn't say cudjoe was woeful, he has been tightly marked as have all our players, good defence from the dragons, we are consistently on the back foot.
forwards making no impact whatsoever,again,good defence from catalans.

broughy needs to concentrate on his game rather than badgering the ref, yes some decisions have gone against us but he can't let that affect his game.

Anybody have a link to the game?

true mate, but we should have started the 1st half strong, we should have been the team on the front foot with the confidence against a team 0/5 with no confidence. it's the other way round.
we know we are gonna get bad decisions against us, we always do over there, but we are letting it affect us.

Cudjoe is an international player he should setting an example for the side. His defence has been inept. He was at fault for Catalans first try and has been run straight pas on at least two other occasions.

bit harsh that, the defence in general has been poor.

Cheers meast. Didn't know it was on the box!

whats going on? thought the score was for the wrong team!

Can we organise a collection to buy a one way plane ticket to send Ukuma Taii home

This is shocking any team that bullies us we just can't cope

I am really cross with this display. Catalan have been allowed to dictate the game- how many breaks have we let them make. Sorry but brough needs taking down a peg or two.

I'm with Jools, embarrassing display.

Abysmal

lets not get too carried away, yes it was a very poor performance from us, we didn't get the rub of the green with a few decisions, i thought their 3rd and 4th tries were forward passes,not to mention whitehead knocking on in the build up to the 3rd try.
let's not forget that despite their poor start and league position,catalans are a good team,especially at home and were due a win at some point,tonight they were better than us in every department,this happens sometimes!
very disappointed with our performance though, i think we tried bashing them up down the middle but it didn't work, only the last 10 minutes did we try and move the ball around we looked decent but it was too little too late, poor decision making, poor defending and poor discipline at times cost us tonight. i thought we really missed bruno's work rate and defence tonight.

it's 2 defeats out of 6, it's still early, we have got lunt and patrick to come back it's not the end of the world, and words like embarrassing and abysmal are a bit harsh,as are singling out individuals, it was a poor team performance,and i don't think anderson will be too happy, losing to catalans in perpignan is hardly an embarrassment.
