Lomax is the whiniest rugby league player since the king of it… Wellens. That club, despite what they may say, started the footballification of RL with the moaning and berating of refs. Winning culture but a horrible one. Sick of getting battered by Wigan in the 80s early 90s they decided to sell their soul. To be fair they got a decent pay out.
Catalans have not looked clever so far. They are currently missing Mourgue & Davies who will no doubt give them a bit of umf. Pearce has been very quiet. As usual I reckon St Helens and Wigan look to be main contenders and Leeds are bound to come good after their shaky start.
Toulouse huge favourites to go down. They looked dreadful v Hudds. It could be embarrassing.
Did Gale actually catch Lomax were he was rubbing it for the cameras ? Any contact on my tv looked higher up the leg. The policing of offside & moving off the mark was a joke.

Yes, Lomax missed the first 15 minutes of the second half getting stitches following the incident, or do you think we were playing Sironen at 6 for some tactical reason? Good to know getting spear tackled is playing for a penalty …
There was one team waving imaginary cards in the air yesterday, and it wasn’t Saints. We have teams claiming late tackles against us when the contact is before the ball leaves the foot, but good to know we’re living rent free here

Whether or not there was contact, and where upon Lomax's leg, it was a stupid and dangerous attempt at stopping a kick by Gale.
As for referees consistently bothering with offside, and moving forward two paces off the mark before playing the ball, well that irks me a lot. I don't kid myself that this will be monitored properly, and appropriate action taken, any time soon.

I'd say he did. Lomax has been lucky there, but still had stitches on a deep flesh wound. Absolutely no chance he was trying to get Gale sent off, it would have hurt.
Can't really argue with that tbf. It's quite a bad one. Lomax and Grace are terrible for going down though and rolling around. I would say on this occasion it's the boy who cried wolf. Everybody outside the cesspit of Redvee knows this.
