London very very compressed in attack, in defence right wing looks to be a weakness, dicko out of position a couple of times. But defence holding up hope they can maintain it. Catalan have not switched on yet though As for ref gullible? Yellow card by timing came from VR.
Well if the VR gave it as a yellow that's shocking.
Not the most exciting game to watch, but a good game plan from danny Ward that paid off. Very very tight in the middle in attack. Thought kasiano had outdone us a couple of times, far too many offloads. Lamb and dixon are not gelling at all, dixon is getting pulled out of position. What have seen so far Lamb is a liability in defence, doubt he could stop me! Thought the union convert went pretty well when he got on, reckon he is going to be useful Bit too much dropped ball and some silly penalties, FWIW olsi yellow card looked justified, elliot was lucky with his lazy grab, luckily it was just mis timed and no pace in it. When dragons started throwing the ball about alarm bells started ringing bit they quickly went back into their shell. Excellent result the season is still alive!
As for the yellow, had it been the other way, put money on no one would have been questioning it! VR gets to see it a number of times, and it did look like a deliberate lift of the leg rather than poor tackle technique.

Have you seen a replay of the tackle? If not you'll excuse my next comment..... Are you actually for real or just here for the wind up? You can see Greg Bird dive and no movement from Olsi, yes he's lifted the leg but the fact Bird lands on his head is down to him diving forward.

Ok just for you buzza. Well done Danny Ward for being able to adapt and come up with other options when the original game plan went out the window. Maybe his original plan was the deep fat fryer
