We saw poor reffing, dirty tactics and the game degenerate into some old fashioned biff and bash, I have to guiltily admit I loved it

I thought it was Randell?

This was on Cats 45yd line and it was Chubbs, something happened with Horo a yard out from ours later on in the middle of all that penalty milking and niggly crap, didn't see Randell do anything much.

Refs have been utter garbage all year

You’re probably right but from a coaches point of view you can see why. CC isnt there to be entertained he needs to know how well his troops play under different conditions.

He can or could afford to do it and this more basic tactic may well win us some those early season tight games we were losing this year before the pitches formed up.

We are an entertaining team when the going is easy but a bit vulnerable on an arm wrestle - not soft just not quite gritty enough sometimes. I liked the players piling in on this occasion - showed a bit of team spirit.

I thought the same - and fair play to Miller; if you're gonna pick a Catalans player to go up against, Simon would be fairly low on the list - the lad's certainly got bottle.
