I wont be sorry if I dont ee him on the pitch, he has more flair in Perpignan than he ever had in London

Agreed

It does raise the question though, why are there so many players out there that we say that about

Team not flying out until Saturday. Not ideal I would say. They will have to be up early if they are on the same flight as me.

I know that they were looking at a private charter from Farnborough, probably cheaper option

Spencer and Boudebza left out the match day squad.
Bit surprised at Boudebza but Sammut more than likely moving to hooker when Pewhairangi comes on.

Northernbloke we have said it about a lot of the ex players because until Henderson we have not had a coach for years who has been capable of developing players. Sargy, LMS, CLubb the list goes on. Lets hope we can now develop and keep the players we have trained through our academy

Poorly officiated. Penalties at random. Shocking video reffing. Listening to Clarke, McDermott, etc.

That hurts.

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.
