Ok I have to ask the question! Poorly officiated why? He let the game run as much as he could.
Shocking vid ref why?
Difference between the 2 teams, ptb speed simple.
Excellent performance from our boys, with about 15 gone in second half I thought we were going to come out winners.
Some really good scrambling defence and they competed well, matching the Catalans in nearly every part of the park.
Negatives, junior although pretty good in defence succumbed to the tackle far to much when
he was the ball carrier. Too many times the dragons ball carrier got a quick ptb as they nearly always landed on there knees and elbows, we were invariably on our back.

Excellent performance, unfortunately not a result that counts. Not sure just how much that game will have taken its toll come next week either.

Wrong result,but a very good showing..

I was at the game so difficult to comment on the first Catalan try, but referee thought no try and the big screen seemed to show ball touched down on line? Great performance defensively, and a couple of last ditch tackles prevented tries for us. Very proud in tremendous heat, pity we didn't win

Very good showing against a bigger team. We looked fit (Other than Junior who was blowing at 10 mins and replaced)

Interesting that he played Api at centre for the 2nd half.

We clearly had a plan to attack their right side. Hendo must have seen weakness over there.

All in all great performance. Just a little disappointed with the result.

Watch that myler try on tv, sadly for us it was inside the line, and was actually a good call from the vr.
That's not me backing the official it's praising myler

The VR issue in France and as shown on BBC is a question that needs to be raised though. Maybe not so much BBC but the French broadcaster have nowhere near as many cameras as sky, so not as many angles. So should the vid ref be used? I know it raises the issue of the camera showing something the on field officials miss and subsequent headlines. I still think that if anyone is serious about moving the game forward every super league game should have VR.
As for the BBC sometimes the cameras are just looking at the wrong thing

The Dragons had a try chalked of when Walker dropped the ball that I thought looked good.

A changing point in the game for me was kicking out on the full after conceding a try. We sustained a lot of pressure around that time in the game.

NO! After the SF last week I'd say not. Wouldn't be so bad if they followed their own directive and looked at an incident once or twice and if they can't find anything conclusive then let the on-field decision stand but taking 5 minutes and numerous replays for various incidents last week I got to the stage where I didn't care about the decisions but just wanted the game to restart. I couldn't be bothered with that every week.

It was a stupid mistake but hardly a turning point
? The walker "try" was like the Myler try? I was there couldn't make a judgement and therefore go with the decision. The Myler try was judged a try, so therefore the Walker try wasn't a try. We came so close it was a shame to lose. Best defensive performance of the season though!

The walker incident certainly looked like a straight knock on, but the calls are the calls. As for the SF I will say it again, bbc don't know how to cover the game. Watch most SL games they make the decision pretty quick so basing the VR use on the SF game is a bit harsh. Even at Catalan decisions were made pretty quick.
That restart penalty was shocking., it is where I get annoyed though, you can straddle the side line and the ball is out on the full penalty, straddle the dead ball line the ball carrier has taken it dead drop out !!!!!!!

Not convinced on the Myler try. Referee thought no try and the look on Alex Walkers face indicated that he thought the same and Myler himself didn't seem convinced. The camera angles were not good enough IMO to overturn the referee, but there again it was Hicks.

Well one went our way one went against us so they cancel each other out really don't they? Those decisions didn't cost us the game.

Just had another look and side on view you can see the ball is grounded in goal before touching the line, sadly it was a good call.

Really proud of the team for the great effort that they put in. There was no shame in that defeat.
Catalan finished tenth in Super League for a reason. They are a poor SL team. I feel that they are headed for the MPG. If Hull KR play well and do a Leigh and cement a SL place, then Catalan are in trouble.

Having now watched the game from Perpignan, I have to say the French TV coverage was rather poor. When I have previously watched Catalan games on TV, I have never taken too much notice. Makes you appreciate how good Sky are at covering RL.

Bosty, have to agree with you, they looked pretty dreadful, not taking away anything from our lads performance.
I think macbanana will not last very long there the chairman will very quickly get rid of him. I think for them the only blessing they have is they have 4 home games, so a lot of teams will run out of steam in the heat.
French tv hmm less said I think

There was an admirable turn out of us London Broncos fans at Perpignan on Saturday. The big debate as we sat sweltering in the bar before getting the bus to the stadium was, would we have more fans than players? Well we did, but only just. Eighteen made it in total, to my mind the fact we only had ten days notice. Hotels rooms were hard to find as were flights and therefore not cheap.
Getting time off this time of year was an issue for some, I know. Plus people were away on holiday.
So I know fans from other clubs will laugh, only eighteen fans! In light of the circumstances it was not at all bad.
We still managed to make a lot of noise, much to the annoyance of Catalan fans who tried to silence us.

Agree, cost of flights at such short notice at that time of the year was prohibitive. My son hoped to get over from Dublin, but flight alone was £280....................

We tried and for two of us it was going to be £530 then the hotels. However boss decided such short notice in school holidays was a no go and therefore work beckoned and I obeyed

Would have loved to have gone but working got in the way. I would have been surprised if any other club would have taken many over.
Hmmm mpg in Catalan maybe ?

I dread to think what the weekend cost us in all, so I am not even going to try. But we really had a great time.
Fans of other clubs underestimate the effort that our away support puts in. Even our home support comes far and wide.
If the MPG is in Perpignan then at the moment flights there and back at just over fifty pound. Bring it on.

Would be a good game to register our first win out there in a long time. Still think we will probably end up same as last year. But!!!!!! Looks like KR were nearly embarrassed on Sunday hope they get nervy

For anyone who went to the game - was the 'Jour De Match' magazine available on the day??

Not that I was aware of.

No it wasnt
