Fantastic to get the win tonight, it was a tough hard fought battle and Catalans certainly pushed us all the way. Chuffed as hell to be Champions again, let's enjoy the off season and look forward to 2024.

One for the purists I'd imagine, slog of a first half but Catalans looked shot in the second and only going to be one winner.
Congratulations to the entire organisation, only downer is Havard, hope his hamstring didn't go altogether

Just perfection that tonight. Enjoy everyone, one of the most unexpected titles for us I think but that makes it all the more special.

Maybe I was a happy clapper but I always thought we could win it after we beat Saints on Good Friday and Warrington after their hot steak earlier in the season, really think we have a chance to hit a dynasty the next few years, we have no weak areas.

Yes, this. Cats seemed to have most of the field position in the first half, but never looked like scoring a try. And as said, in the second half, there was only going to be one winner. A terrific effort from MP and his staff and the squad.

It was a strange game. Probably not the best for neutrals but exciting for us.

Catalan shaded the first half but never really threatened to score. With about 25 to go I was feeling pretty confident.

There weren’t too many stand out performances but not a poor performance from anyone on the pitch.

KPP was superb, Harry smith very good, Wardle was a fair shout for MOM but I thought Tom Johnston deserved that.

There was one huge play from Harry Smith that really impressed me and showed he is turning into a mature leader in the side. Just after Marshall was pulled back he was boarding over zealous with his complaint to the ref and was promptly dragged away by smith before he got himself in bother.

Feels so go to be champions again, fully deserved. All hail Matty Peet.

Saw that too... Was great to see... Marshall was well fired up last night.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.

I’ve not rewatched it yet but I felt Smith had one of his least effective games and put us under pressure a few times with early kicks.

I do like the early kick if we are under the pump, but they must find the deck and I don’t think on one occasion they did which put us under more pressure.

French out of the 2 halves put in some belting kicks in the second half though, which was welcome.

Will rewatch at some point though today and have another watch.

My man of the match was Marshy though.

Thought he carried out if the backfield really strongly, dealt with kicks (all be it they targeted Miski so wasn’t under as much pressure) and showed good composure to finish for his try.

Our defence last night though was the highlight for me. It was organised, effective, disciplined and at times brutal. A joy to watch.
