Griffin starts again in front of Connor.
Dont get it

Much needed win! And nice to get a few points on the board. Just a shame to let 2 trys in at the end. But hopefully a big confidence boost to the lads with a couple of very winnable games coming up next. Would be disappointed to lose either of them.

Didn't think we played that well, not very fluent with the ball but got to be happy with the win. Thought they made good metres with the ball but had no creativity in the halves

Re: v's Catalans : Fri Mar 23, 2018 10:08 pm  

A solid win going by the scoreline (I haven't listened or read anything) and very much needed confidence booster before playing the East Hull lot.
Hopefully no injuries either!
Let's hope this can jump start our season!

2 very important points and a confidence boost
We had a good initial 15 minutes but Catalan made easy yards which teams are now doing against us.
Taylor had his best game for a while, Carlos again showed what a centre should be doing on the field.
Just hope Dean Hadley injury is not too bad.Knee injury.
Think we need another established front row even when Paea is fit.
Understand the clubs stance but wish we hadnt offloaded Watts
Jordan Lane continues to impress.Can see Turgut now going out on loan

Far from perfect with some tries bombed but a comfortable win in the end.

Carlos was excellent tonight, some great centre play and good to see Kelly back and looking good.

Re: v's Catalans : Fri Mar 23, 2018 10:24 pm  

Solid performance against a poor side, we broke the line numerous times and once we calmed down and stopped trying to score every play we scored some goo try's.

I thought Taylor and Mini led from the front, some real class from Kelly and Carlos. Something to build on.

Good summary. Taylor’s been excellent since returning from his operation IMO, great to have Kelly back and silky from Carlos for Talanoa’s try. Radford sounds confident of Houghton and Paea being back for the derby

Re: v's Catalans : Fri Mar 23, 2018 11:00 pm  

Some good bits, some not so good. We made them look much better than they are at times and we scored some soft tries but also some well worked ones. We're too soft defensively IMO and without watts we're a big forward down. Still a long way from a top 4 side IMO

Re: v's Catalans : Fri Mar 23, 2018 11:20 pm  

solid win, 2 points in the bag, having Houghton and paea back will give us a big lift, in taylor Bowden green masi and paea where not short of size, but sometimes green and Bowden have a good game then 2 or 3 average games, take into account in bureta binman and griffin we have some big units in the backs, hopefully we can kick on and start to get a few wins under our belt
