It was a case of after the Lord Mayors show as Catalans were beaten at home on the night the League Leaders Shield was presented.
With a few rotations to the team there was still a great start for the home club who roared into a two score lead backed by jubilant fans.
But the visitors wouldn't go away and were only 18-12 adrift at the interval.
The Catalans did not score in the second half whilst the visitors went over three more times to get a 30-18 win.
Well done to them.
The evening was dampened but not destroyed as the club presented former players like Remi Casty and Greg Bird who had left the club during lockdown before getting their hands on the silverware.
Naturally there will be fans of other clubs in the Superleague who find great amusement in the fact we are celebrating this as an achievement, but with last rites being read to a game on its arse by some, we can be part of the solution for rugby league and not the problem.
