[Futtocks]

Wallop! That's a Big Sam grand Slam on Oledski.

Leeds could be down to 15 here

You have major issues with this, don't you?

Major issues, lol.

Please elaborate

[DavidM]

Dragons pack is bossing it and Maloney and Samkins are running the show off the back of it

You like the non-word "woke".

[Futtocks]

Nice move from Leeds - Sutcliffe in. Was that his first touch?

[Dunbar]

Really enjoying this game.

The last 24 hours in Super League has been great, a real step up.

I think you've confused me with someone else 

[Rupert Prince]

Maloney should have dropped on a loose ball, not kicking it.  Cats have given away a few easy penalties after chasing kicks too.

Maybe, but every Folau success is heralded by someone trying to own it for the gammon.

[Futtocks]

Fast and furious first half. I wouldn't call it for les Cats just yet. They always have brainfart capacity.

The percentage play was to drop on the ball. The match style play was to try and kick it over Myler and then pick it up and score - it’s been that type of match

Sounds like you're the one with major issues, as you put it. Just let it go, don't work yourself up

 

[DavidM]

Catalans very much on top there but Leeds still in it on the scoreboard 

[Chrispmartha]

We were already going with a light team but looks like our only 2 proper props are done for the game, the good thing is might be entertaining as we ate going to have to try throw the ball around or hope Catalans lose the plot like they did against salford.

[Tommygilf]

Despite being very poor, Leeds still in this

Maloney has been poor for me,looks weak defensively and his wild fly kick led to Leeds try,totally overshadowed by Tomkins.

[JohnM]

Exhausted... just watching it!  How can both sides keep up that physical effort. Myler must be fed up of being battered.  Personal preference is for Catalans to win... maintain composure () and discipline () in the 2nd half.

Yes. Enjoyable. More frantic than intense.  Leeds are showing that they can move the ball wide, so still dangerous. 2 injuries to forwards may give Cats a chance to slow them down.

This is what will be interesting in 2nd half.  Can they defend their lead. Can they keep their energy?

[Futtocks]

Oledzki has failed his HIA, so that's two of Leeds' big guys out for the evening.

Guy who brings up a subject out of the blue tells people to 'just let it go' 12 minutes later.

Down on numbers , and they haven’t got big replacements

And next week as well, if...

Edit...  needless drop ball gives Leeds a try.  So the "if" is still on.

Doubt now to seep into Cats?
