I'm a big fan of Liam Moore normally, but he lost that game completely tonight. Catalans came into the game with the big bully boy tactics and he let everything go early on rather than setting the tone. He allowed all the time wasting and niggling and messing about in the ruck and Kasiano put more shoulder charges in than Sam Burgess used to manage in a season. He was lucky it didn't get incredibly ugly. One punch and it would have gone off properly.
Catalans have some superb players, but a dreadful coach and not enough intelligence on the pitch. You don't beat this Saints by trying to intimidate them, our pack love that. You beat them by playing quick and focusing on stopping Walmsley. You've got to score to win game and Catalans didn't even try to. They need to let Tomkins, Pearce and Morgue play and be more disciplined. Too many poor characters in that side.
Agree - there's a lot to dislike about Cats.
Can't see anyone getting near you lot this year.
Great set of kids - Welsby, Dodd and Bachelor look class.
Some very good additions too.
But most importantly, best coach in the league.
