We had two better fullbacks on the field than the one playing full back, Pitts was really unlucky as he stood up to mickey max and we should have had the penalty on the back but hey get it and score so game over, putting an innexperienced winger with an inn-experienced Centre was all Catalan needed to score 3 tries, great game play from our coach, senior did good ball in hand and was a tad unlucky by cannot turn on his feet to tackle, fifita dint look like he wanted to upset his new employers, but we were better than last week

Who would you have played right edge?

Mcllorum is constantly 3rd man in around the head and he’ll continue to do us unless the referee takes control. Kendall hasn’t got a back bone and Pitts took it in to his own hands, no doubt frustrated with the lack of input from the ref. I do think we lack some aggression as a team at times but Kendall never called the high shot as far as I could tell?

Some bad calls against us which didn’t help but overall an improvement on last week.

Our back line was inexperienced and Catalan used that to their advantage kicking early and turning us round. We struggled to gain any momentum from the back.

I do question our forwards at times with the exception of Koppy who I thought played well. Fifita was poor and doesn’t seem himself. Needs to start running into the ball instead of running sideways.

Attacking wise we look flat with no real structure or direction.

I’ve nothing against walker and I’m not singling him out but I’m yet to see anything to suggest he’s any better than Max.

Not sure if I’m expecting too much overall but there’s still massive improvements needed imo.

There were quite a few occasions that Catalans third man went in below the knees, but they never got penalised once

The BBC coverage is not as good as SKY, poor build up and some of the camera work was poor and hardly any replays .

Why do you think Adam Walker chose Leigh over us? also why did Jordan Thompson turn down the offer of a contract for next season.

Are we supposed to be gutted that we've missed out on these top drawer signings or surprised that they want an easier life as retirement approaches?

What Pitts did can only increase the team spirit which as been lacking for quite sometime.

Twice in the very first set.
