3 Aug: SL: Catalans Dragons v Warrington Wolves (Merged Threads)

[Man of Kent]

Good player Mead but doesn’t get enough ball. Makes things happen

[Man of Kent]

Tomkins converts. 14-10 Catalans on 54

16-10 Catalans pen goal 

[Man of Kent]

This is almost as stop-start as yawnion 

[Man of Kent]

Great effort by Mamo. Had to be binned though 

[Dave T]

Mamo is.an idiot. 

Outstanding tackle. But why put your team down to 12 at the crucial part of the game?

Presumably Catalans would have had a walk-in

Because they were going to walk over if he didn't. It has kept us in the game.

[Man of Kent]

Right call by Child.

[Man of Kent]

Tomkins penalty goal. 18-10 Catalans after 67

[Ullman]

Lineham commits the cardinal sin of giving a penalty away in possession in front of the posts.

18-10

There were no guarantees, and we still had around 18 mins left. Now those already knackered players have to work harder. 

I'm not a fan of professional fouls, I think they should be punished even more severely.

He's certainly an error machine but I tend to agree with the view that he saved a try.

A wholly unique situation

However Casty gets massive benefit of the doubt for having his hand in kn the ball. Watch the tackle and his hand wasnt on the ball. He then put it back in, so it is wrong to suggest he was trapped and couldn't do anything about it.

It was a foul by Catalans imho.

I'm not convinced of the tactic that you should get yourself binned to prevent a try (that wasnt guaranteed).

We dont do it 99% of the time.

[Man of Kent]

Game set bingo. Matt Whitley.

22-10 Catalans

[Ullman]

No wonder Bird is laughing. He's just absolutely conned Child into a penalty that leads to a try for Whitley.

[Dave T]

Where the hell was our winger???

Man down?

Conversion nailed by Tomkins.

24-10 on 73.

Well I certainly can't argue now with your point about the extra man.

[Man of Kent]

Catalans have dragged Wire down to their grubby level, got in their heads and duffed them up.

The scoreboard reflects their dominance more now.
