One of the worst ref performance ever back on the flight with the Giants brown envelopes all round shocking 

It wasn't Kendall by any chance was it? 

That's our main fear going to Shudds next week.

Hope you creamed the bookies.

Never saw that result coming!

Makes it very interesting for Wakey and Cas, on this weeks performances you would have to say Cas look like the most likely for the drop, but who would have predicted Huddersfield going to the Dragons and coming away with a win? The only thing we can say for certain this year is Leigh have performed way above what even the most optimistic of us could have predicted. 

[Snowys Backside]

Great result

I didn't unfortunately

[MZH]

Well I didn't see that coming. We played Catalans last week and I thought they looked awesome. When done Huddersfield, obviously we softened them up for you. 

 

[Agbrigg]

I really don't understand the shock at this result.  I am a Wakey supporter and if I was a ref they would never loose a game ,Huddersfield had Kendell their pet ref, so what's the suprise.

In the full glare of the public view, now is your opportunity to provide full detail. 

[Mapleyther]

Amazing what a genuine threat of relegation can do for a team!

[meast]

So it was the refs fault?

Grow up the lot of you.

Massive claim, hope you're prepared to back it up with proof?

Yep, very very sad and dangerous to claim match fixing

let's see the proof.

That ref plays it as he sees it as every other ref does no question, but that same ref seems to get more flack for inconsistencies than any other ref does, yet he still seems to get all the top games, he obviously as his supporters at the top level but not with the fans of the clubs - most clubs.

Fantastic win for Fartown. A lot of people will be down on the RL Fixed Odds with Wakeys win and Fartown’s. I am one of those suckers. 

[RayCee]

I went to a French RL forum and not one mentioned the ref. They all were disappointed about the performance of the Dragons and felt the Giants deserved their win. I was impressed by their fairness and not seeking excuses.

or they could hire a tandem in to town

Or they could stay behind and celebrate a great win.

Anyone can beat anyone this year in SL. Catalans have not had their ‘slump’ yet. 
 

They deserve top spot, but certainly not unbeatable. Lots of twists and turns before the seasons out for sure !

[Bradman Better]

The Dragons should have beaten Huddersfield with the team that they had.

However do not forget that the Dragons were without star half and playmaker Mitchell Pearce, and their excellent prop signing Sio Siua Taukeiaho, plus their half Sam Tomkins. When they return the team will be much stronger.

Got back late last night after another belting weekend in the wonderful city of Perpignan.

I said to my mates at 2.30 am on the way to Birmingham airport we would win, i always feel Catalans away is a game we will win for some reason, we were by far the better team and you could see the confidence grow after every big tackle/ every set of 6 defended and every attacking play that came off, i actually said at the game even though the result was close i didn't for one moment in the 2nd half think we were ever gonna lose the game, we strangled them in the 2nd half.

I wonder if the fact we weren't under pressure to get anything this weekend and Wakey winning actually spurred our guys on as that was 1million times better than the last 8 weeks.

Even the Catalans fans were applauding our defence in the end.

God knows where the stuff about the ref come from, we felt Catalans were very lucky with what looked like 2 pretty bad tip tackles and plenty of messing around by the dragons going unpunished, no decisions by the officials had any baring on that result at all.

As always the fans at the ground and in the tete en fete food festival and in town into the early hours very gracious in defeat.

Any way bring on the rejuvanated Pussies!!!!
