So all these years people complain that Catalans doesn't play enough French players, they pick a team full of young local talent and all people can do is complain even more 

Well enjoy then if it is a one sided game, but be realistic the French teams have to rely on imports to be competitive, the French national team playing in SL would struggle to be a top 6 team.

Touchie has one job!

Oh the irony when Leigh have stacked their team full of imports in the Championship and you have been saying all season they should be allowed to have unlimited imports, if promoted, so they can be competitive.

Seen some terrible decisions recently, thinking Bevan French diving over with him receiving the ball stood in touch, fortunately denied by the video referee. Also a Jones Bishop "try" given for Sheffield against Widnes that was an actual joke he was that far in touch.

[The Daddy]

Hugo Salabio looking good on his first two carries.

All SL teams have to rely on imports to be competitive.

Harry does like a bit of hypocrisy,

[Davo5]

A real gutsy opening 30 mins from the young Catalans but fatigue has understandably set in & the score has blew out a bit.

[Hvy wg]

Rougé was suposed to be a diamond to polish. Hes more rocks than diamond.

Dude gets everything wrong.

On the other hand, Leo Laurent got almost everything right.

[The Daddy]

How was that not a knock.on from Cade Cust?

[Davo5]

With the news on Farrell,losing Cust could as well could be a huge blow to Wigan’s playoff hopes.

[Damien]

That's not a try for me. I think you should need more control than that.

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

I'm giving up on this now....

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Franco is good

Not really with all due respect his ceiling is low. Hes neither quick nor strong enough, no passing nor kicking game. Average with some flashes of decent.

[The Daddy]

Try to James Child 

[The Daddy]

So it's not a penalty last week when Harry Smith done exactly the same thing to Wellsby but this week it's a penalty against Catalan

It's not irony , it's stating a fact 

[Damien]

The young Catalans players did well but Wigan barely showed up. One of those games that doesn't do anything for Super League, again.

[Just Browny]

That was incredibly tedious.

[Hvy wg]

Wigan didnt need to do anything particular and they sure went soft on us.

Some of us did ok. Some really did not.

Just the way it's panned out this year basically only the Leeds v Tigers game has relevance this week

It's not really just this year. With the play offs it often happens.

It's the price we pay
