Hooray !!! Catalans have beaten Leeds and managed to find a way to win in the Super League playoffs.
There was plenty to admire in the Dragons performance on Friday night, but this being Catalans we must deal with some other stuff as well.
Micky McIlorum and JoelKins showed a lack of discipline at key points in the match with a high shot followed by lifting the player off the worst offence.
That is on McIlorum's rap sheet, Tomkins was more for a poke (shall we say) at Richie Myler as a tackle was completed.
I didn't mind Myler when he played for us but as the season has gone on he seems to be getting more and more of a moany arse (hahaha see what I did there?!).
Back to the match and we came out of the traps super fast getting 12-0 ahead before Rhinos had really go started.
Of course we switched off and let them in with tries on either side of the half time hooter before Rob Lui gifted a try to David Mead which saw us breath a collective sigh of relief.
The players did too and let Konrad Hurrell score more of less from the restart.
It kept it interesting until Jimmy Maloney walloped a penalty from close to half way which finally put the Yorkshiremen back in their box.
So it's on to St Helens next week and a match we have a better than average record in. So you never know.
