St Esteve proved their recent patchy form wasn't just a blip by losing again over the weekend.
This loss to Lezignan sees them drop to 4th in the table with the regular season now being over.
Their route to the finals will now be much harder, but more importantly Justin Murphy will need to get a big performance and result out of his men.
This is moving fast isn' it...

Hooray !!!
Dragons got one over Hull at the KC for the second season running and showed that their fitness is in a good place by accelerating the score board late on.
They were behind before a lucky bounce/perfect kick came back off the posts and into the considerable midriff of Big Sam before he dropped over the line.
Hull were in this before some late magic on the right edge saw Tom Davies fly high and score twice.

2 defeats in a row isn't enough to press the panic button just yet, but there will be some raised eyebrow at our form as the play offs loom.
A lot of media outlets are going big on Southport Tigers in Australia having signed Israel Folau.
Earlier in the week there was talk of him returning to France but this looks to have put paid to that.
Read the full story here.
I think there will be very few people, even within our club, who will be surprised that this whole thing has ended in tears.
At least my boycott on club merchandise and going to games can now be lifted.
Catalans march to the arch has ended at the hands of vodoo team Warrington Wolves.
The match was actually closer than we'd anticipated with injury and travel starting to look like it was taking a toll on the men from Perpignan.

It was actually a slow start rather than late game fatigue that did for the Dracs with a 14 point half time margin too big a leap to get over.

A rare defeat for St Esteve as Avignon came to Perpignan and took the competition points with a clever display.

It was a case of back to business for Dragons with a decent win over Wakefield at the Mobile Rocket Stadium.
Tom Davies scored the same try three times, being back up by Dean Whare with a couple to see off a spirited Trin'.
The home side were in the match until the last quarter so it's nice to see that we dug out a result away from home, especially so after the error strewn defeat to Warrington the week before.

Where to start on this one eh?
It was a match of narrow margins at key moments. Let's be positive here.
But it was an error strewn performance by the Dragons, something the coach had predicted in his post match interviews from the Salford win the week before.
When they score a try off a triple bounce and Samkins throws an interception for a length of the field score its probably best to say its not your day.
