They did but they are better than the tactics they played tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cats were deliberately over-physical last night, I have news for them. It didn't work. It could have done against lesser teams though, but like most statements on this site that is pure speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper they have some great players but there seems to be something that all the big NRL signings go through when they land in France- they almost think it's a last payday so dont need to be as professional as they were in the NRL - same could be said about the SL players who go over. Put a real top professional leader like a Peacock or a Sinfield in that Cats team and they could be a great team. Peacock could lead by example in a team with tactics that approach the line of legality superb player but definatley no saint out on the paddock, and Sinfield would need a Peacock, McGuire, Burrow, JJB, Leulia, Senior, Hall and choose any one of the very good no 9's he played with at Leeds, for mine those player's made Sinfield much more than he made them, my opinion of course.

What I couldn't understand was how Maloney's High tackle was deemed sin-binable (new word) and the previous two by Walmersley and Bousquet were only worthy of a free kick, was it that Reagan Grace is not as tough as the other two tackled player's and he stayed down longer thus warranting a card?

Bring back the Boyd Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 In my amateur days, if a member of the opposition was running game, the technical term for putting pressure on him was “ smartening him up”. I was “ smartened up” a few times— it was part of the game. What it didn’t involve, was cheap shots on kickers— it makes me smile a little that in todays sanitised game, this is allowed when, in the days of the biff, it would generally have led to a large scaler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't disagree, but as I intimated with the offences by Walmersley and Bousquet the tackled players were up immediately, Grace stayed down for a while it must have been a good 1.5 to 2 mins from the tackle to the card being shown, if the tackle was deemed that serious why not show it immediately or if the ref is taking advise from the touchy or video ref it shouldn't take as long as it did.

ATLANTISMAN Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The Dragons is suited for some players as the French press are not intrusive into ones personal life (They stick to the reporting of the sport) I maybe wrong however I think its illegal anyway in France. Remember once getting a call from a mate in the Perpignan police to assist with helping a well known Dragons player home after he drove his car into a ditch ######. Car was towed back to his place by a recovery truck with a few dents and cops were entertained at the next match job done LOL:) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there disciplinary record speaks for its self, I am first to admit that my team used to be grubby under mr Rowley and there is a difference between grubby and hard play.

For a team that struggles with discipline and professionalism, adding Joel Tomkins and James Maloney was never a recipe for success. You have to look at more than talent to see if a player with enhance your team. And the biggest thug of them all Mcillorum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
