Sat 22 May: SL: Catalans Dragons v St Helens KO 18:00

[Old Frightful]

Screamer of a pass from McMeekin, horror pass from Coote.

[Northern Eel]

Saints timing is off and they are way off their best. Lots of that down to Catalans, some of that down to themselves. Somewhat out of character, but looking good for the Dragons.

[Old Frightful]

Even YJW is playing sh*te.

[DavidM]

Lovely play and pass from Coote which neither of this stellar commentary team thought worthy of any mention

Da Costa limping off.

[Ullman]

Good work from McMeeken again.

[Futtocks]

Ooh, nice try!

[DavidM]

Nice try . Les fans de Catalans getting tres boisterous 

[Northern Eel]

Looked like a completed tackle when watching live. What do you think?

 

Edit: Seen the replay. Fages let go just a split second too early. Play on. 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Good try! Catalans do to Saints what Saints have been doing to everyone else. Kept it alive brilliantly.

[Man of Kent]

Super try. Loving how Catalans are playing French stuff in a sensible way. 

[Waynebennettswinger]

McMeeken having a great game. 

[GeordieSaint]

20-6 after 58mins?! Great stuff from Catalan so far.

Fages brought him down, but didn't hold on to him when he hit the ground. It was close, and could have been called either way.

He was half tackled, the defender let go before completing. Catalans deserved that.

Yep. Seen a replay. Not much in it, but fair try, I think.

[Old Frightful]

Catalans were better than this against Hull FC last time out....

[Futtocks]

This is my first really good look at Mourgue getting more than a cameo appearance off the bench. I like what I see!

In real time at full speed, I wasn't sure at first either.

[GeordieSaint]

Saints just starting to dominate field position here... interesting next 5mins.

He's been really solid under the high ball. Better, may I suggest, than Sam Tomkins sometimes looks.

Does he have a kicking game?

[Waynebennettswinger]

Great kick from Dodd and wonderful evasion from Morgue. Was he lucky? Deserved his luck if so.

That. I don't know. I've enjoyed his performance today. It reminds me of the sort of stuff Gigot was producing in his pomp.
