Who will be there? I will be subject to flight not being delayed into Carcassonne.

excellent game of rugby with both sides playing some nice stuff - London just edged it tho' maybe the fairest result would have been a draw
Cats got caught out many times by the more strict PTB ruling which gifted London valuable possession
very enjoyable game with not a bad performance on aither side - for me the MOM was Chad Randall with Menzies not far behind - his try was truly awesome and made the kids trying to stop him almost half his age look pretty silly ! what a player...

good entertainment and TR reckons the french break was a great success and they are hoping to repeat the exercise next time around

just a personal statement - after having seen the Broncos play twice in four days and after meeting the lads & coaching staff I would like to congratulate them all for being a really close knit and friendly bunch of kids - it's helped restore my faith in human nature - well done kids - you are a credit to your club and to the worlds greatest game

Thanks

Hmmm...one swallow doesn't make a summer...but good news that Chad MAY have recovered his form

If we can get the best out of Chad, Clubby, Howell and Kaufusi we will have a brilliant season!

Ben Fisher is better than Randall though according to at least one on here....

Makes the Cats victory even better when you consider that the team had played 2 games in 4 days.

As I was there I can add:

Good game around, agree Menzies best Catalan, but tower was equally as good - his kick
K from touch line was superb and in every aspect he just oozed class.

Randall did play well, but I am a fan. Howells was sharp when he came on.everyone did their bit and the encouraging thing was we looked organised.

Downside - we looked small and they scored two tries just by sheer muscle. Changing missed two tackles, he their wise played well don't mean to be critical but they scored from both

Upside - better organised and defended well, moved the ball wide and looked like we had a plan, Dixon kicking to touch was very good.

Bizarre - referee. He penalised London 7 times in first 10. He also gave 6penalties for failing to play the ball - 3 for each side, but Catalans all game towards end of game and Catalan fans got frustrated.

Decent game - tantrums and punch ups at en very stupid - ali in all good run out
