Indeed it was the Catalan.

Remember because I was sat in Upper West freezing my rollocks off despite it being May.

It's a problem that needs resolving by Ellis and the players, the constant giving away of penalty when we have the opponents Pinned in. Really need to smarten up with it as we'd make it alot more difficult for opponents

I thought I was at that game, didn’t Mamo break through Josh Griffins tackle to grab the wire a draw, or am I dreaming it.

Yes it was the last play Mamo try which cost us the win. It was on the Our League app and website. Lots of missed drop goal attempts in extra time.

I remember that incident so vividly, it came as a shock how he went straight through Griff, and levelled the game, I knew I’d seen it, just not where I thought I’d seen it

Still can't believe on 11.500 yesterday. Certainly looked a 1.000 more. Gale didn't do to bad you know. Ok he's not going to score 50 yd trys but the one thing that stood out for me was his leadership. He never stopped talking. A mention to Evans to he's getting better every game.

I find It’s actually quite difficult to guess the attendance, I’ve often thought there’s not many here, then they say 10,000. Evans is improving, but do you think we will see Tag back to, or nearly as good as he ever was.

Very difficult to guess the attendance. Hard to say about Taylor. Don't think he's every gonna be the player he was in 16/17.But he can still do a job for us. He's gonna get better as the year goes on so still happy to see him in the 17

Regarding the attendance when looking round the stadium it certainly seemed as though there was a very good number in the stands particularly in the West, plus the atmosphere sounded and felt the best it's been for a long while so to hear only 11500 as the attendance seemed low considering.

As for Taylor its still very early days as he's been out for so long and he's playing catch up so will take him time to get back in to match fit condition. Like any player age starts to take its toll so he won't be the same player of 5 years ago but if he can stay injury free I think he still be a big plus for us in the forwards.
Thought Evans certainly put a shift in against Wigan and was pretty good defensively and is improving as he gets more game time.

Tag just got to keep playing & playing Chris, he’s certainly seems to have that old desire, and I’m really hoping we get the very best version we can of Taylor, we have the makings of a good team, and although I have had my doubts regarding Brett, you can see small positives emerging with his coaching, the tremendous break out of Connor Wynne, and just a bit behind him Cam Scott, the investment in youth, and the investment in youth coaching has been a superb statement of intent from our owner, especially after such a lousy period of stifled income, and such difficulties regarding the pandemic.

We seem to be in a good place at present, and when you remember the prognosis from the last two seasons, it’s nothing short of miraculous.

Looking at our pack on Saturday there won't be many that will roll us. It's a big pack yet the back 3 which started is pretty mobile. Hoping Gale and Reynolds get some game time behind them. Barring injuries dare I say we are the dark horses for the Grand Final?
