Have Catalan been given special dispensation against the new rules to speed up the play the ball....

Players should move immediately the ref calls move!! EcceptCatalsn seem to be players niggle.. join the ruck... lay on... wriggle a bit... read a novel... hold a telephone conversation with a relative in Australasia that they haven't seen for a week or two... put a load of washing in... wait for the cycle... put the washing out to dry... wait for it to dry... iron it and put it away in the linen cupboard... then move

That's watch as an impartial observer... I like neither of these teams!

So far he is on course to fulfill his promise. He returns to Perpignan in 2017 with his lovely wife, the former Rebecca Rochow, now known as Becca Bird. He performs admirably in his first game against last year's powerful runners up, scoring a lovely try and tackling his heart out.

God bless you Gregory Bird.

Also, calls that go for you one week might go against you the next. All part of the game I'm afraid. Look at how many high shots Warrington got away with yesterday. Next week they may be pinged for all of them. Swings and roundabouts

McShane should have been binned , no argument , that wasn't ' niggling ' an opposition firecracker

Counted 5 deliberate shoves on players without the ball , one resulting in a try

A lot more forward passes in SL especially from the PTB , something we need to copy

A lot to watch in our first video session
