Re: Les Catalans
After today’s results we look to be in a decent position. Nobody has won three from three so we’ve got as many points as anyone else in the league. Given the numbers of players we’ve had injured, 4 points from our first three games is a pretty good return, considering we’ve played Wigan and travelled to France.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑15 Feb 2020, 22:34True, but they have only played twice. Nobody has played three and won three (yet). Hull have got Saints tomorrow so they have a tough game on their hands if they want to get three wins.
Huddersfield have missed a game they’ll need to catch up later in the year, and that’s never easy as it can impact on not only the re-arranged fixture but the one following too.
If we can win against Wakefield and Hull KR, we’ll be 4 from 5 and towards the top of the table.
Two big games coming up. Win them both and we could well be top after 5 games, with our only trip to Catalans out of the way.

You've obviously never played the game, been to a meet the coaches night or can claim to be a true supporter.

or looking it from a different perspective, we’ve won 2 from 3 one of those against the competition’s whipping boys. Far too early to make a judgement either way.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑16 Feb 2020, 18:21 Given the numbers of players we’ve had injured, 4 points from our first three games is a pretty good return, considering we’ve played Wigan and travelled to France.

Of course it’s way to early to make a judgement, but if we’d lost three from three I think we’d all agree that would be a worrying start.

Re: Les Catalans
Let's not get misunderstood here. It's simple, we we're outplayed by the better team in all departments, end of. To say someone who's played the game doesn't know more than or as much as someone who hasn't is talking bo**ox. If you haven't played, you have a perspective of a person who hasn't played, even though you might have watched the game a long time, whereas someone who has played the game and watched the game has both perspectives. While I respect fully the opinions of both, I can tell you that whilst you are playing you can tell after say 10 minutes of a game wether your team is going to win or not. This theory worked for me for a very long time in the amateur game at a good level. You just know!!

Re: Les Catalans
Glad you weren’t on my team. I wouldn’t want to play alongside someone who thinks they have lost or won a game after ten minutes.Tigers1926 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2020, 19:29 Let's not get misunderstood here.

Nothing to settle it’s my opinion based on my years of watching,playing and coaching which I stand by.Hepworth7 wrote: ↑16 Feb 2020, 21:19You can always settle your differences on the in play markets gents,though I think you'll both be taking a short cut to the poor house if you think either of those statistics are factually correct.
It’s Not the first time fumper as attacked another posters opinion because it doesn’t match there opinion and I’m sure I won’t be the last, water off a ducks back and all that.
Anyhow the games gone we move on to Friday and hopefully start the game better than we did yesterday which will give us a far greater chance of winning.

I’ve been involved in plenty of games where I’ve been both 12-0 up and 12-0 down after 6 minutes and come out with the opposite result. In my opinion and experience, It’s not about how or you start but how you finish that matters. You can always correct a poor start using the time remaining in the game. It’s all about the attitude of the group and the willingness to put right what has gone wrong.

Re: Les Catalans
The fact is a game is won on momentum and who makes best use of it. Very often a team will open up a 12/18 point lead only for the momentum to swing and the opposition then score 12/18/20 points.

Re: Les Catalans
Catalan game is now water under the bridge, big question did we come away injury free we hardly go a game without losing one or two, sooner we can get Jesse back on the park the better, using his enthusiasm to gee the players up when things are going wrong

A couple of interesting videos here (apologies for the quality) from the Catalans game at the weekend.

Harsh? I certainly think Olpherts' contact didn't warrant Tomkins going down like a sack of spuds, and I've seen worse contact go unpunished.

That is pathetic from the officials.

And they wonder why fans get on their backs.
Shocking,
