The aim of any game is to win, not just score tries.

Anyway, that's what you get for not leaving the match day threads to Marvin, Jean. From this day forwards, let posters be aware of Marvin's curse.

Why hasn't there been any mention anywhere on here, social media, or the commentary team why that clear shove on Tomkins by Connor isn't an offence on the first try? It defies logic, Tomkins doesn't catch the ball but is definitely involved in the play, he catches the knock back for sure if he isn't barged.
Just nonsensical how you can be allowed to shove any player running through on a play like that especially a player who is so close to the ball

If Tomkins had his eye on the ball and was running back to help his team mate then I would agree with you. Thaler spotted that Tomkins was looking over his shoulder to see where Jake Connor was and moved sideways so as to obstruct him. Connor simply shoved someone out of the way that was trying to illegally obstruct him and then Tomkins tried to milk a penalty by falling to the floor when he could easily have kept his feet and possibly stopped the try.

Excellent refereeing.

It's knock out rugby, there are no prizes for scoring a couple of extra tries. Once we were in control we just played the game at the pace we wanted to play it, which is exactly what you should do.

Correct.

The reason Catalans had "given up" was due to the fact Sneyd strangled them of good field position and stopped Gigot from getting them rolling forward. Most of there sets started in there own 20 metre so as the game got away from them so did there game plan as they were forced to gamble in there own half.

If you compare it to the first half when they was allowed to run the ball back they started alot of sets on the 30/40 metre line.

Plus not much point in risking injury when you've already got enough points on the board. I can't believe it's hard to understand.

Sneyd just fancies a hat trick of lance todd trophies
