3 more tries for the dragons and they'll let him on 

And then haul him off again when he breathes wrong

You know mr mc namara well. Luckily he's the new home grown casty as steve said in the paper.

Bill Arthur doesn't know the rules.....

[Man of Kent]

Wardle had to pass inside there. Poor.

[Southerner80]

Dragons need a score to make it a 3 try game to be sure of the win as the Giants look capable of a breakaway try or two.

Just one of a few missed opportunities and wrong options in attack for us.

Went for glory when he was in no position to do so. Short pass inside and you’d be within a score.

Greenwood... doesn’t look great that on Langi?!

And he’s off...

Theres so many different rules in each country i cant remember which rules apply to each game i watch. I thought touch was when the ball crosses the line without touching the floor and in the dead ball it needs to bounce outside the field.

Fair call. Used to be 6 matches for that in the good old days of the 90s.

[Old Frightful]

Isa hit on Johnstone should have had the same result.

Red card and fair enough really. One arm and into the neck. Not malicious however those tackles have to be reds now based on the current rules.

Yep - smacked him with a straight arm right across the chops.

[DavidM]

I don’t mind that for a hit right on the melon , interesting comparison with the NRL and the discussion they’ve been having around foul play and the lack of send offs and sinbins . Plenty of high  shots given cop out on report 

[meast]

Ah well, it's how you finish the season that matters isn't it

[Spidey]

Drinkwater was offside then

Oh don't, you'll only fire them up again.

[DG70]

Watson back at Salford next year? stranger things have happened.

I'm not so sure. Looked like genuine intent to me.

Thought the second half was a great contest. Not much between the teams for me but Huddersfield really paid the price for clocking off early in the first half.

but it would be so worth it.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

God help the opposition when the Cats remember that a game last 80, not 40 minutes. They tried to give Hudd an Easter eggs but they weren't interested.

Langi takes his spot back, Laguerre won't play.

Despite a MOTM performance.

I'm fuming.

Yes, Laguerre is a very good prospect. But for me Arthur Mourgue is the real French super star of the future. He s a dynamic attacking player, with speed and footwork. 

I would pick Mourgue to play in the halves alongside the experienced and steady Theo Fages at the World Cup. France will have a good set of forwards for him to play behind. And Morgue should be signed on a decent salary as a replacement for Drinkwater at Catalans in 2022. Maloney will be able to teach him a few things in his final year.
