The usual set of mystery injuries/withdrawals before an international which have rendered the game meaningless. Wonder how many would have been unavailable if it was a CC Final or the GF or a tour down under?

Internationals during the season are stupid, I don't blame the players.

You might have a point, but if we're having them let's follow through with it.

I think so many matches of such high intensity is taking its toll on a lot of teams.

As much as I am enjoying Rovers being so high in the league, the way SL is set up it devalues finishing top of the table with preference to the GF. Is anybody seriously talking about Saints right now? If it were football, people would be all over this story...but as its GF focussed, nobody pays attention.
Amusement ahead of Catalans-Saints last night. Chairman Guasch paraded some of his wares, and it all got a bit out of hand:
The match itself continued being a bit strange. It was all Dragons for the opening 25 minutes, except on the scoreboard and we found ourselves 0-12 down. Then we finally figured our **** out and stuck 24 unanswered points past them. A welcome return to winning ways.

Cas 22-46 Dragons. That'll do. Could've done without Keighran picking up that ankle injury though, hopefully he's a quick one to mend.
@TonyM19 - uh...commiserations for whatever was going on with Wigan in that second half against Leeds.

@TonyM19 - uh...commiserations for the continued Leeds-shaped hangover that Wigan appear to be experiencing. That first half was not good.

That's a bit more like it though

"MaRcHiNg On ToGeThEr" couldn't happen to a nicer club!
Poor reffing tonight but an epic game from both sides (the Saints & the Saints bench)

Golden point will be the end of me!
Seriously, what's wrong with a draw?
Wigan got rolled up the middle, but went at HKR right edge in the first half. No joy down there in the second half when SDK moved over. As usual, we just wait for French to pull us out of the mire.
If rumours are true, Sam Walters will be a good pick up for Wigan next year. Still room to put a bit more weight on his frame and very aggressive.
Sts aren't the team they have been, but I still wouldn't want to play them in a cup game or play off. Knowles charging out of the line putting pressure on first receiver is a big miss. He plays on the edge, but if you take this out of his game he isn't as effective. They'll win something this year I reckon

...also heard a rumour that Wigan were looking at Keighran from Catalan. I suppose anybody who can kick goals like they're not wearing an oversized pair of wellies would be an upgrade for us.

Got to gand it to Wigan under Peet, a true gent and the clyb have sent a get well soon hamper to Ethan Ryan after he suffered a broken jaw in the match. Great gesture.
Soldato
What's in it... Jaw breakers?
Wigan 22-46 Catalans.
Bon.
Bon.

Go on Cas, smashing Dirty Leeds in the last few minutes of the game!!
Was a decent Saturday all-around in the south of France. Catalans with a good win over Wigan, Toulouse beating 'fax, and in the other code Perpignan triumphed against Grenoble to stay in the top flight.
