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.

It just wasn't huddersfield's day but in the grand scheme of things this result and performances means practically nothing for huddersfields season.

It's not losing that was the embarrassment it was the performance. Yet again we didn't put the effort in. Slow line speed, zero creativity, lazy tackling, no attempt to TRY and ptb quickly. I feel sorry for the fans that have paid A LOTof money to witness that effort.

^Agree 100% Where's the pride, passion and commitment? we all are C&G but can't just brush the rubbish we have been serving up under the carpet and keep saying we will come good. The biggest pack in SL has been out muscled 3 times this season (Baloo said it would never happen again after Hull away in play offs) Where's the aggression and win at all costs attitude top teams have? Amazed that some feel that performance was acceptable against a Catalans team on the back of 5 losses out of 5, I should rephrase that as half a Catalans team as they have a number of regular 1st teamers missing thru injury or suspension. We must be the most inconsistent team in RL

Very, very poor performance. Didn't see that coming.

The lack of the fundamentals and application was the most disappointing. Falling off tackles, woeful kick chase, poor ball retention and lack of discipline.

Wardle, grix, broughton went ok. Apart from that we were way off. Our pack was particularly poor. No one seemed to be running onto the ball with any venom, seemingly always from a standing start. Crabtree in particular was very poor. He lacked impact in attack and defence. I can understand eoarl conserving energy when he starts and plays the full 80, but when he's being spelled, he should be putting more in.

Hope josh gets another crack, as despite making little go forward, he was at least trying to get a quick ptb.

All that said, it's early days, and we know we can compete with any team. Something isn't quite right yet, but I'd rather it at this time of year, rather than crunch time.

i haven't seen anyone saying the performance was acceptable, it wasn't, by our own high standards we set last year it was a very poor performance.
but like i said, you have to give credit to the opposition too, catalans were good tonight, far too good for us, i just think people are being a bit dramatic over it all, it was a poor performance and i feel for the fans that are over there, but im pretty sure it wont spoil their weekend.

we just have to accept that sometimes we play badly and the other team plays well, no pointing fingers and finding scapegoats, it just happens.
we could beat warrington next week and everything is ok again, nothing is won or lost in march!
