Agree. Had to disallow it unfortunately. Opportunities blown with poor discipline and execution. Massive raps to Tala after that foot in his face though.
effort there but not clinical enough, other teams have found it tough here and imo thought that was a try, still lick the wounds and regather, don't think there was any injuries so leeds next

Effort was there; execution let us down. C'est la vie. You can't win them all. We had our chances; we didn't take them.
That disallowed try was a disappointment, though. The player made zero attempt to get to the player; had he done so, then Catalans wouldn't have had the penalty. He went for a dive. That's really disappointing to see in Rugby League.

To be honest I thought there was a fair bit of gamesmanship during the game by them. Pretty disappointing but a separate issue to us gifting them a couple of tries and failing to take a couple of chances. Disappointing to give so many penalties away - particularly in the ruck. I'd sooner Thaler packed in being the matey Joe with the players and just got on and reffed the game.

Cringey listening to him laughing at joking every time there's a scrum. The players need to be 100% focused on the game, not him talking to them as if they were having banter in a pub.

Talanoa try looked alright to me Pomeroy should be up at the Oscars for that - clearly played for it and it's not something I like to see in this game leave that to the other games where play acting is the norm. Thought Sneyd in particular was disappointing this week he needs to build consistency into his game. Watts and Mini didn't deserve to lose that game they were massive.
Against KR we gifted them some tries and we did it again today against a much better team and paid for it.
Agree with all of that. Sneyd again was poor and needs to sort out the inconsistencies in his games.
yea amazing support from the fans , though mini watts where awesome, still not sure on green and thought Thompson was quite tonight, was noticeable when we had our full pack on we looked so much stronger,but hey ho you cant win them all and the effort was top class
