Hookem is playing for Whitehaven this afternoon, so that's one match ticked off.

Very tight league table - if we win today we'll go fourth, if we lose by seven points or more we'll drop to eighth.

Don't know how much influence a parent club's coach has on players on loan but i do think BH will be pleased to see Hookem at starting hooker again for Whitehaven, the position i believe he thinks is his future.

Joint 4th!

No, 4th on scoring difference.

no such thing now as a hooker in R/L.Its just another position that if used correctly can be a real attacking threat,
Unfortunately for us it needs players with pace and we dont have them.

Agreed! But we aint that Desperate

Not a bad start.

First real chance for Catalans off the back of a penalty and they score.

Decent half that, better of the 2 sides.
Forwards getting on top.
Whoever manages fatigue the best in the back end of the game will win I reckon. The game after Easter is usually the killer.

Very professional half. Playing safe and to our strengths. No overplaying. Solid defensive line. Good half.
Better from Reynolds. Doing what he needs to do. The more impressive of the 2 halves tonight. Lovodua is a bit anonymous but he only needs half a chance to make something special happen!

2 more assists for Danny Houghton so far as well.

What a player?

Agree with that, very solid first half, being patient and composed. Solid defence and much improved line speed and discipline. Reynolds has certainly stepped up in the first half.
Hopefully they can do the same again in the second half when fatigue kicks in for both sides and see out the game.

Best half this year IMO, thought after first 10, we used our forwards more and controlled the gane.

Done well so far with his best, must use in 2nd half including giving Houghton (who has been great) a spell away from dummy half.

Reynolds needs to stop jumping the line

My one gripe is that some of our attacking sets in their 20 aren't great. Need to make some of this possession count.

Ffs 2 awful bits of play by Jake there
Gonna be our own worst enemy in the last 15 here I feel

Ffs Jake!

Awful error that, unforced

Connor has had a stinker tonight

Come on lads close it out now!! Safe rugby for 5 minutes.

I would have ran that. Gotta be a massive kick to just reach. Hope to be proved wrong

Good win that, a real solid effort.
Not vintage stuff, but the work rate was exceptional from everyone.
I thought Taylor was excellent considering it was his first game back.

Superb win. What a boost.

didnt matter in the end but i agree with you
Kick to touch and play the game out
