Fantastic team performance, it was a tough game despite the score and I just hope we don’t pick up any bans . However , Tomkins needs banning for the knee . The French tv directors only showed replays of transgressions against the French . Anyway , we now know what we’re capable of so onwards and upwards !

I was confident of a win but never in my wildest dreams did I expect tonight’s result. Really pleased for the squad and the coaching staff. Particularly pleased for Byrne. Must build on this for the remainder of the season.

I thought Liam Byrne summed the whole performance up. He was absolutely sensational and showed what he can do. We now need more of that.
Liam Byrne was everything i want him to be tonight, just like the Byrne of last season. And that is the most frustrating part of it this season, he has an outstanding prop in him and i hope he can keep that form up going into the playoff's as him and Mago both firing makes a world of difference.
His hit on Navarette was an absolute peach aswell!

Very good solid performance all across the park, no one had a bad game. The forwards esp Byrne and Ellis were really good and Dupree add something for sure.Thought we looked very controlled and professional in the face of a lot of niggle from Catalan (plea to the RFL can we go back to penalising players for lying in ruck - it is getting silly now).
A performance we need to build on - it sets a benchmark going forward.

The pack stole the show tonight, particularly the 4 props.
But Harry Smith ran that game, kicked them to death. Brilliant player.
It’ll be nice next year when people get focus on his play rather than the bad goal kicking.
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

We crushed everything they wanted to do, in attach and defence. What a solid all round performance that was. Please please don't back slide next week or the week after and leave us scratching our heads.

Literally 1 person on this board said they weren't sure about Peet and you keep running with it as if everybody but you said it. When we perform well, they get praised. When they perform badly, they get rightly slated. Maybe you should stay away from the forum when we win if it upsets you so much when they get praised. When they perform like they did tonight, we as fans have every right to question when they perform badly.
