I honestly think that being a man down has caught up with them, especially given the ferocity and pace at the start. 
 

If Whare doesn’t perform you would imagine that May would come in. Catalans have great depth.

Yeah and it's not like Dudson has been productive at all after being carded. May has got in already but he's not having any space.

[DI Keith Fowler]

It seems mad Catalans are only 8 points down. Taking the two before half time was a good decision for them. Expect them to start well in the second half and get the first try before Saints get a couple to close it out.

Saints played some good rugby that half, much as it pains me to say it.

Why does Walmsley fall over every time he gets up from a tackle and roll three yards forward.

541m made by Saints in that first half. 80 of them after the PTB

I reckon Saints might reach 40 points. Hope I am wrong.

[Jughead]

Hurrell has been key in that half. His offload game could add an extra dimension to that Saints side.

Been some belting tries , wouldnt think it was the first game 

Worth remembering that it is indeed only the first game. One swallow don't make a Grand Final, I hope.

[JonNgog]

Hurrell is a pretty spectacular force in a dominant team, as Saints are. He adds yet another dimension to the attack.

Only injuries to a couple of key players can level things up between Saints and the rest. It pains me to say it as a Wiganer but that first half was pretty terrifying to watch. 

We’ll see. It’s a long season. Hell of an ask to take out 4 titles on the run. 
Could well be a few surprise in the months to come. Just glad The Greatest Game is back!

[northamptoncougar]

Micky Mac isn’t at the ptb at all in the cats attack, it’s allowing the Saints to stack the defence. That needs to change.

You're wrong, they would need a competent goal kicker to rack up 40

It’s his defensive errors and handling errors that will rear their head at some point though.

Hurrel was always rock and diamonds. Wait until he shoots out of the line or drops an important ball. High risk high reward

[GUBRATS]

Really enjoyed the half time

He did shoot out of the line for cats try I think?

Classy.

[Man of Kent]

Good to see Sky improving its coverage with (A) live chat with coaches (B) video ref talking it through and (C) no Captain Birdseye

Samkins pulling Hurrell’s hair. King of subtle roughhouse tactics is our Sam.

I wondered that but I couldn't see for sure. Poor quality on a small screen for you.

Hair pulling a normal part of Rugby League, pal?
