The actual number may be modest, maybe 6 to 7k, but it looks and sounds good on TV. 

[Davo5]

Decent crowd & Saints players get away with walking 2 yard forward in the first 2 rucks.

[WN83]

These refs need to wake up to Walmsley, it’s farcical. 

[johnh1]

Walsmley only walked 2 yards forward to earn the penalty. Why can’t the powers that be see it?

[Guest]

Saints allowed to walk forward a mile again!!

[WN83]

Walmsley would get 10 a game if he played for this Catalans crowd

[dkw]

That's awful play acting by Tomkins, doesn't help the refs and makes a mockery of players and coaches moaning about harsh high tackle penalties. 

[bratman]

Didn't think it was that high on Tomkins, more shoulder really. He does make the must of it.

[johnh1]

Saints being ‘very quick off the mark’ again!

[bratman]

Deffo knock on from Roby!

[Dave T]

Nice 1st try. Deserved.

I didn't think it was by Roby, but the play the ball should have been penalised.

[dkw]

Good try, no idea where Hurrell thought he was defending.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Essai!! 

[Davo5]

Good try after a high shot from Tommy (he’s not that sort of player) Makinson.

[bratman]

Good try, Catalans look up for this.

[northamptoncougar]

Cracking game

A lot of the "best teams" are. A classic example being the all blacks! Easy to defend if you start 2 yards ahead of where you should all the time!

Do you really believe this,  that Saints are offside all the time and for some reason refs just ignore it?

[dkw]

Good try, but another odd defensive pick then.

[bratman]

Good try Saints, bit too easy on Catalans left.

[Davo5]

Welsby punishes some lazy defence from Catalans

Same way Wigan had a reputation for being "physical"
