Twice the player that left us on the basis of that performance. What was noticeable was that when behind and extremely flat BJ stepped up and dug us out of a big hole. The period running up to the break for Morrisons try, he was excellent.

Wasn't overly excited at his return primarily as from experience I couldn't see him dealing with the strength of DB's on-field personality. A performance like today has shown BJ to be a strong 6 who is capable of turning a game.

won the game today with that tackle !!!!!!

Great tackle, but Ferguson back tracking to catch Pelo in the first half was better and more vital. Two great tackles in a game, do you think Stevo and co will acknowledge - don't hold your breath

I always said I thought BJ would be a different player playing alongside Brough as opposed to Rooney and I know it's still early days but he is looking twice the player that left us.

When he went for the Catalans player behind his line I thought Garen Casey had taken over his body.

Great performance today and a country mile the best player on the park today.

I agree with that but I would add a third, and thats when Murphy came up and smashed Adam Mogg thus saving a certain try.

Correct. Awesome.
