Having said all week that I think Catalans will edge it, Saints looks more lively for me.

Think Catalans should have gone for the line rather than kick when they took the penalty to go 4 - 6. They need confidence they can break the Saints line defence.

Good game though. Ref doing a good job so far IMO. Glad he let it carry on when the scuffle started.

In other news! I've realised I've been a member of this forum longer than some players in SL have been alive...

If there's a player that could sway it for Catalans it would be Mourgue with side stepping late in the game against tired legs, too brutal to play him yet

Spot on. Really hoping for a great second half. What the hell was the touch judge doing on the Maloney kick though? FFS.

They should never be allowed to run the line again no excuse the foot was ground at least ft and half past the line

Now let's see what Mourgue can do

Agreed. Needs to be embarrassed.

Have to say. This is a great game. Officials have generally done well. Dodgy touch judge line calls aside.

Why is the Saints player in front of Lomax and within 10m of the grounded try not flagged for offside?

That incorrect PTB call was a disgrace

Saints becoming the SECOND team to win the GF three times in a row before the resident troll awakens from its slumber decided to bombard the place.

I don't think I remember a game with so much appealing to the ref, it took the shine of it for me.

It's a shame they couldn't give Catalans a try when Makinson smacked him round the head & saved a certain try with foul play.

There were several

game on a knife edge going into the last 2/3 minutes, step up Liam Moore, worst call of the night! keep your whistle in your pocket (unless someone takes someones head off)
