| We are still equal parts scrappy and daft sometimes, but we are anything but boring with the ball, and when we get the balance right we are very, very good.
Croft was excellent and as others have said his defence has been a pleasant surprise. I felt like the new recruits are building nicely and Ruan looked good enough to keep Donno out.
Bentley is frustrating, while Tomkins sounded like he had an axe to grind the one thing he was right about was Bentley is a constant mix of good and bad. The passage of play where he chases the kick makes a cracking tackle on Johnstone and then gives a penalty away is him in a nutshell.
Would expect him to get a ban. Maybe Sangare too given his binning.

| It’s great. I think we did plan to play with width on purpose against Cats but RS said we overdid it at times, which is fair enough.
Miller will look miles better in dry conditions.

| Quote Exeter Rhino="Exeter Rhino"Bentley thinks he is TMFMISL.
He'll probably be banned, but excuse me, the bias of the Sky pundits is appalling.
Sam Tomkins starts the show by highlighting why Catalans signing Michael McIlorum was a real statement of intent and he was the sort of player to compete for 80 minutes that they didn't have.
At the end of the show Tomkins goes on about how Bentley is too indisciplined and not a very good player (like Wilkin, clearly nursing some grudges from his playing days).
It would be interesting to compare the number of cards and bans received by Bentley and McIlorum over the last 4-5 years, and to hear what Tomkins has to say about that.'"
TMFMISL. Those were the days. How many games do we think that hit on Mary Fasavalu would get these days?

| A great backs to the wall defensive display. To restrict Catalan to 1 try with all the territory they had was an amazing effort. Our defence looked well organised throughout.
The worry is that like the 2nd half at HKR last week, I'm not sure we can give teams that much field position and ball every week and come out on top.

| We are making too many errors again and putting pressure on ourselves. Miller is a little worrying at the back at times he made another 3 errors today and I think each was around our 20….

| 87% completion rate again, that’s 3 games in a row, Frawley is helping massively with this

| If we can tighten up and get a couple of players back we look good. Leigh next up I fancy us for that one too.

We owe them for the two defeats last year.

| Great win especially given the weather which gave them even more of an edge in the forwards. Incredible defence of the line. Have we conceded a line break in open play this season? Croft looks every inch the player I hoped he'd be. Newman looks a really strong athlete now and hopefully his injury woes are behind him. Ruan showed me enough to make me think he should always be in over Donaldson. Like many others Rohanball is no good for my nerves or the colour of my hair, but there is definitely something in it if it's tempered. His record against Catalans is now 5 wins against 2 losses, and the losses came with half strength teams.

I'm surprised the % is so high. We didn't seem to complete many sets at all early in the game

Watching it back we really settled down after the first quarter.
Brodie Croft was MOM by a country mile IMO, a pleasure to watch
Newman was class aswell, 16 tackle busts!

| A win fashioned from dogged defence and a well under par Cats.
Thought we were in for a really long afternoon given the first 20 mins, but we did well to hang in there and hold them out.
We did show some flashes going forward at times, so something to build on.
Smith, Newman and Croft all excellent today.
There's a lot to like about Miller, but he has to try to cut the errors out. Would like to see him get some open space.
Sangare and Goudemand both did well against a big, tough pack.
And I like the look of Ruan, he's got the size and seems to have something about him. Hope he develops at prop and we see more of him.
Momirovski was good as well. Very solid in defence and offered a bit when we got in their half!
And a shout out to Roberts. Did everything expected of him.
Bentley continues to massively frustrate. He's all heart and energy and gets under their skin. but he's brain dead at times.
Definitely something to build on for next week.
