Mahault Beauvilliers, The Hooker with headgear. Small but incredibly smart, fantastic defender, quick and changes the game every time he comes on. Still a year young as well. Limoux Lenny Marc, didn't play tonight but probably Frances best player, Athletic and dangerous centre. Should debut next season for Catalans Giovanni Descalzi, Prop, strong and mobile. Great talent, was 18th man for Catalans a few weeks back, not far from debut. Adrian De La Rose, great foward, also a year young. Limoux Thibualt Correges, starting hooker, Regular for Albi, won the Super XIII. Luca Walsh, isn't on the tour but he is the St Helens halfback for Academy and reserves, and an important player for both. Steven Jocelyn, second rower for Toulouse, strong and damaging, mobile. Those are probably the best talents, I think we'll see most of those guys in SL one day. Killian Buche, Paul Galy, Loris Zamutt, Anthony Munico, Nolan Sosse, Felix Gautier are others to look out for too.

Just watched the Leeds v Saints game and the way supporters responded to the images being shown at the ground is what defines this game. All rivalry put to one side for a great moment. We know when to put down the sword and show respect to great people of the game. Then it's back to battle.

All halfbacks can only perform when packs lay platforms. Connor has had two bad games all season which is far fewer than i thought he would have had and far fewer than most halfbacks in the league hence him leading the MOS league table.

I'd say Cleary, Yeo, Haas and Tedesco are the other 4 i'd place in the top five.

A sound performance that, in testing conditions, and fantastic win, especially given the boost to the points difference. Didn't see any obvious injury concerns so if we've come away with a clean bill of health it's been a great night's work.

Connor is excellent when packs lay platforms. When they don’t, some of the things he does are so stupid, you can do nothing else but think ‘Connors ’ Went hiding today. Croft tried and he he got clobbered too. Crofts hairline is that high, impossible for Saints to be penalised for a high tackle !

I noticed there was a lot of stories recently (relating to Salford in particular) that were pointing out how bad loop fixtures are, just before the 14 team stories came out, just laying the foundations I guess. Most people have been fine with this idea for a long while.

Keighley helping out:

Well I have to say that game was dire, with a capital D. Two poor teams on tonights showing. Connor played brilliant last week then compounded Shaun Wanes assessment of him by being anonymous tonight.

Catalans seemed to put in a good performance last time at home (unless Huddersfield were really really bad, I didn't see the game), so this might not be a stroll for Warrington. I still expect they will probably come out on top though.

For me Hookem is getting better every game... if he hadn't had to leave the field against Keighley I believe we would have won!

So…..September 23rd 2024 it was announced Hughes was “on his toes” and here we are 10 months later, with no buyer/investor, a LOAD of speculation and wondering who/what is funding the club at the moment with just a handful of fans at games. Personally, I believe that a new name and new investment with a 5 year protection from relegation would be enough for a new owner to step up, but it would take a HUGE amount of effort (and belief) as well as bringing a big event to London like Quinn’s or Sarries do to get even a small foothold. The alternative is RL accepts its place. I am currently in Bali and every pub is showing AFL on the main screens with NRL on a single screen and Union this weekend taking over a few big screens, begging the question “is RL really the greatest game, or just a good game that doesn’t know how to market itself”? I believe RL in this the UK needs London, but it needs a London that are front and centre and that is an investment that I believe the game isn’t brave enough to make. i hope I am wrong, but I will say it again, for GH et al to make it work, the cart needs to before the horse and SL needs to be assured before anyone invests.

Some poor defence and poor reffing. That try down the left was well taken by the French, despite the flimsiness of the tackling. The cross-field kick that he dived to attempt to score was just too near the ground. I had to look at it a couple of times, but I think he dropped it as he dived short of the line. Tough one to take with it dipping. Maybe he could have let the ball bounce, but it probably would have rolled on too quickly. Thanks for the link to watch, @NRLandSL!

Wire by 14

That stepping run up the middle from Farnworth is a dazzling illustration of his strength as a centre. A 17-stone man really has no right to be as nimble and athletic as that. An astonishing try from one of the game's star players.

With 14 teams in SL it would do away with the Loop fixtures.How can it be a creditable table with those.

Apart from the joint-record seven Formula One World Drivers' Championship titles? Feels like the Life of Brian 'What have the Roman's done' bit.

Probably nearer 24

Luke Mearns is the interchange hooker for the last 10 minutes.

If two teams go into SL, there will just be 10 teams in the Championship.

Just reading about Ese'ese's stats. 21 carries, 180 metres, 7 tackle busts, 3 offloads, 29 tackles, 0 errors, 0 penalties, 0 missed tackles. Huge game from the big man.
