You make my point really. Again if it had been Lineham there would not be any talk if excellent play by Davies, just criticism of Lineham.

I think anyone with a fair judgment wouldn’t. People will always have scape goats etc. I personally thought Lineham carried the ball strong and had the best pre season of all our 4 wingers.

Just watched the game back in full, we've got to be better than that but on another day we win that game. A fair number of the tries scored by Catalans were on the back of very silly errors with the final try been the cherry on top.

I thought we actually looked well structured moving forward, in the most.

People calling for Applegarth to be sacked need to give their head a shake.

It was Lynes only mistake but let’s not sugar coat it. It was the biggest mistake and we were in the ascendency in a critical part of the game. That completely swung the momentum.

No it wasn't.
He gave them field position with his mistake. We still had an opportunity to defend, hard though that made it.
The mistakes by Murphy and Smith led directly to tries.

It's a team game and the team holds responsibility subility so none need to be blamed, but if you are trying to pick one out, it isn't Lyne

Sorry but we will agree to disagree on this. We were coming on strong and Catalans were well on the back foot on their line. It’s not just about territory but the momentum. It was with us at that point with 6 tackles on the line and all the pressure. We never got that pressure or field position back from that point. It was the momentum and game changer which started our poor spell.

The other ones weren’t good either.

It was an error from Murphy, he should've shielded the ball better or gone for the safe option and taken the ball out himself. He's a kid only in his second season, Lineham is an experienced pro who not should be making those mistakes.

McNamara complaining about the pitch, says he's never seen blood or blisters like it.

Not sure what the new pitch cost but in my opinion it was a waste of money the playing surface was the only good thing about BV
Surely the money would have been better spent retaining the likes of Batch or another halfback
If not banked to fund further much needed development on the west side

Probably a blessing if you're not on any of the Facebook pages.

"We should sack Mash and get Lingard in" was one of the comments I'd read.
