Catalan Dragons Sunday KO Time changed.

Our attacking play won us games last season, this season our defence is doing the job, week off now to get bodies back and recharge

What a great win! Leeds are there for the taking next week. A game of defence really. We had quite a bit of territory in the first half due to their mistakes but they defended us well. We struggled to break them down most of the game. So credit where it's due there. We still haven't hit our straps offensively yet but it'll come.

They had all the territory in the second half - lots of penalties (right or wrong) and we knocked on three times while playing the ball - but our defence stood up to everything that was thrown at us. Great covering and scrambling. I thought Longstaff did well to plug the gap at centre. Croft gets through a lot of work for a half-back. Burgess was great again. Wonderful try. Made yards. Great take from a kick near the end. Shame he couldn't pick up that loose Catalan pass. Can't help be be extremely proud of that second half effort.

I thought the kicking game was better in the first half. Sneyd was finding the ground more and splitting their players so they had to move to the ball. Croft put in a few decent kicks - a good grubber and a chip and chase for Brierley, both led to drop outs. But in the second half we were quite poor with our long kicks. They seemed to go straight to the FB and not very far despite having time. They hit the ground but not between players like on the first half, or towards the corner, they were very central - maybe a cause of fatigue? We defended a lot! Still, overall I thought the kicking game was an improvement on the past couple of weeks and had some variation. It was also out best home performance of the season, which is a great sign.

On another positive Hull are currently beating Huddersfield.

I'm also happy for Wakey that they didn't get hammered. I'd like to see Applegarth turn things around.

Defence amazing…strangely I didn’t think Kendall that bad, except for the fact that he didn’t seem to give a single offside.

Watkins absolutely immense…but this ball wide to Croft, after last week and this, has got to change, everybody knows it and he’s being smashed

I thought Paul and particularly Louise were excellent on the commentary. Shame about the useless dinosaur on main commentary...

Agree to all the above.
I couldn't make today so had to listen and it's embarrassing.
Its as of jack has never watched a rugby match before. He just seems to lose the plot and never knows what's going on and can't keep up with the game.
I agree about the football coverage, shocking the way it takes over everything.

Either way, we won although we still sound like we're not clicking and didn't take advantage of the errors in the first half.

Hoping we can use the international break to work on the attack some more as we need to be more lethal and start putting teams to the sword more effectively

With regards to the match coverage by Radio Manchester,I normally attend the matches but listened on line from Spain, and the coverage today was not as good as normal due to the obsession with Man United, they interrupted the match umpteen times, used the halftime interval as another excuse to discuss the United game again.
If people switch on to coverage of a Riugby League game why would they want to know about a football match?
Paul Whiteside was his usual eloquent self as was Louise, Jack was not his usual self, due I suspect to the producer continually telling him to switch over to the football.
