Fartown by 20, Catalans are woeful. Whoever thought of giving Joel Tomkins the coaches job must have forgotten his or hers medication 🤣 Wasn't even a good player.

Nor was Peter Fox - do you know where this is going?

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

The Catalans organisation seems a bit chaotic at present and Fartown are slowly improving so I fancy a first ever win at the Accu stadium for the Giants.

As a Leeds fan you must recall he scored one of the greatest Wembley tries ever.

Wasn't a bad player, Joel !

Interesting option by Balmforth.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Good grief, is it that hard to get a kick off in play.

OMG that was an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back ...and trust me, each and every one of them is precious. Giants did deserve to win not just because they scored more points and played better, but because toulouse against that rabble would have been disgraceful.

Q: When will we know that 14 clubs is working for Super League?

A. Before we can answer that, we need to know what the move was meant to achieve. Seemingly, no one knows,

I feel the Giants played entirely the right game, mostly they dominated the Dragons for territory 

Lacking the polish for some real team, flare but we've lost another half back so go figure. 

Green shoots of recovery are there, get this season over and have an actual pre-season with a full squad and we might actually be at least competitive! 

 

Interesting that Catalans were less apt to be grubby that under MacNamara

Watched second half. Glad I didn’t watch the first. That was dull.

Job done, another masterclass from SuperFlan, how on earth Ollie Wilson has only 1 cap for England i'll never know, actually i do, he doesn't wear cherry, red, white, amber, blue or primrose yellow.

Hopefully we can now finish this season with a couple more wins and look forward to next year.

Wilson was immense, Joe Greenwood too.

 

Was it a pretty game? No. Defences working hard and not much flare on show (Flanagan apart).

I've seen duller games in SL this season from supposed top 4 clubs.

This season is all about putting smiles on faces and developing players now, the young uns will be better for it next year.

Catalans really are turning out some rank performances this season, and they could well end up finishing next to bottom of the table. There recruitment leaves a lot to be desired, paying for overseas players who don't seem put the effort in. Then on top of that, appointing an inexperienced Coach on a 2 year deal.

Joel Tomkins said that 14 players will not like be there like Solomona Faataape from australien under

"It involves matters much greater than drafting the new rules...the original and existing games have their own powerful appeal to their players and public and have the sentiments which history inspires"  - Harold 'Jersey' Flegg 1933

"Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart."  - Jean Roque, Calendrier-revue du Racing-Club Albigeois, 1958-1959
