Don't know the stats,but from memory McNamara's Catalan have given us a very hard time,with some right old thrashings among our defeats.We look a lot stronger than I expected for this one,so hopefully payback time,but nothing but our best will do.Hope Tom doesn't play!

F to Tom Johnstone, he is not ours and trying to take 2pts off us and relegate the club. I hope we give him an hard time if he plays.

Agree,PB.

Why play Proctor, have I missed something does his abilities demand a place.

No Whitbread, Bowden or Franco.

He's playing second row. He's played long minutes when there.
Bowden and Whitbread missing so we needed someone. Though I might have tried the French prop.

Bowden didn't come back last week when he came off last week so assume injured.

6-0 down already. If this is a team trying to avoid relegation…

Griffin throws ball to them. Ashurst freezes in line.
So easy for the french.

Eseh instant liability again!

We're losing and Cas are currently winning, unless they turn it around quickly we're sunk

Lino to the rescue for the 2nd time.

We do well to hang on with that man short.

Lino with two try saving tackles this half. Could be in a much worse position, let’s get up for a comeback…

So how many halves being nilled is that now? Clueless again, poor defence again, mistake after mistake again. Rinse and repeat.

I've never known such an underperforming coach keep his job despite everything pointing to them being not up to it? Is it bloody mindedness from the board?

To be honest they've had all the ball and only scored two tries.
We are giving ourselves a chance but we have to stop giving them a lift up field.

Ball needs to be with Tanginoa and Griffin running deeper. We are starving them.

What did he do? He swung a player round who appeared to land on their backside. Didn’t look much in it at all.

We have been absolutely smashed by the officials that first half (rightly or wrongly).

Lino's actually had a good first half, some great tackles.

Assuming Griffin can hold the ball…

Catalans have done exactly what I expected and just gone edge to edge.

Catalans are shutting Max down pretty well on the edge but we’ve almost stretched them a few times.

Yes great cover tackles, not so great going forward. Maybe an argument to swop Jowitt amd Lino around.

Great stuff - so how many games have we come back from being nilled in the first half and then won this season?

I’m one of Likos biggest critics but he’s done well in defence today.

Something still missing in attack but I’m hopeful we will find some space this second half.

Only long minutes he's done while he's been here is on a plane

I'd sooner him win us the game with craft and skill than do tje tackling

Cas 18-6 up, not looking good for us.

Lots of effort but just not good enough.
