How did Bird play? Apart from getting a try.

Just think the difference a player who could sniff out a try like that could have made in those first two close games?

Obviously I'm not saying Halley shouldn't have been loaned out, as he was in no shape to start the season (as he proved with his 2 try MOTM display for Wakefield on the weekend our season was due to start).

Watched the game tonight. Good result for you boys.

Did anyone see the ref get led from the field by about 6 stewards and then get water chucked all over him by a Catalans fan?

No need for that! Something should be done. Seemed like they expected it aswell coz they had all them blokes leading him off

It's been a bit of a recurring problem at Dragons games unfortunately.

So did we play well then? Cos from the result it sounds like we just scraped a win against a Catalans side that aren't performing that well this season either.

Can we go into next weeks game at Cas being confident of an improved performance or will it be back to business as usual and an embarrassing defeat.

Still a good result tonight though.

Anyone noticed that there are no extended highlights on Sky tonight. Which there usually is for the games in France on a Saturday.

Nor is the Super League show on BBC tomorrow.

Times: First victory to tenacious Bulls Bird was an inspiration for the Catalans against the side he originally signed for before failing to be granted a UK visa, and his team took charge.
