Only just noticed but what happened to brewdog?

Alcohol sponsorship is outlawed in France, same with gambling which is why no Betfred patches either

Brewdog = No alcohol sponsorship allowed in France

I hate those 'knock ons', at the worst he slightly hesitantly played it. No drop and no advantage from it, should be play on.

And Cats score on the back of it. Here you have one team busting a gut to not finish bottom, and earlier we had a team who couldn’t give a damn. And it’s the team who couldn’t give a damn who will stay up.

100%. They look very unfit in my opinion and they’re really missing Johnstone on the edges. 
 

I am hugely shocked how poor Davis is. I’ve watched Catalans a fair bit this year and he’s not half the winger I thought he was. 
 

Catalans need some quality in pivotal positions and a bit of class and threat on the edges. They have a few aging forwards too. If they don’t recruit strong for next couple seasons it could be start of a decline. 

Their once feared pack has been diluted by some very average imports and a lack of hooking options in McIlorums absence.

Alcohol advertising is heavily restricted in France.

Quite funny to see that go against McMeeken. He's been interferring with the tacklers/markers everytime he has the ball, and this time he paid for it.

One of my biggest bug bears about current SL rules is that the refs will literally jump on anything that looks even remotely untidy in the play the ball action(even when they clearly haven't fumbled it) yet defenders are consistently allowed to tug and pull on attackers in the act of playing the ball to force them off their feet.

[Click]

That was quite funny - Don't normally see the referee run into the back of a player.

[Click]

Yea, think I can understand the sinbin here if it happens. The shot isn't that late - but it is basically a shoulder charge.

But .. the Cats are a better team, out of a better club. Of course they should stay in the top division.

[Click]

Was a quite pathetic how he just dropped to the ground there.

[LeytherRob]

What on earth were Catalans thinking with that drop out?!

[Click]

I hope this isnt the offical clock, as the referee said time off and the clock didn't stop.

I wasn’t referring to Cats!

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Wonder if that is Navarette's 1st ever man of the match award?

[Click]

So, it was the official clock. 

How amateur is this stuff.

[Just Browny]

London didn't have the zip about their attack tonight to get them across the line, but their effort and application - contrasted with the farces at Hull and Huddersfield - means they should hold their heads very high.

They looked very tired in that second half. Another phenomenal effort though

[bratman]

London have become my second favourite team, they can play some good stuff and always give everything. Unlucky with the result tonight but at least they aren't bottom

[ATLANTISMAN]

Well done Broncos 

Dragons we're poor 

Really enjoyed it

[StandOffHalf]

I couldn't watch, but that's a close, creditable loss for London.

I think they have done themselves immensely proud in getting off the bottom spot with a round left.

[Gooleboy]

Another fine committed performance by London. Well done for getting off the bottom of the table.
