I suspect Leigh took good numbers to Perpignan as it's still novelty to make the trip.

I've done it three times and don't get the fuss. Last time I was there we actually ended up in Lloret De Mar, which is by far a much worse place, but a lot more fun.

I remember the first trip to Perpignan was an eye-opener.

Steve Ganson was wrecked drinking red-wine (refereeing the next day) and i ended up behind Craig Hall and Gareth Raynor at a kebab stand at 1am. Think Raynor scored in a tied game, too.

Ben Thaler needs retiring. That decision is an absolute travesty. Smith should have ruled a knock and the game continues. Thaler gets involved and there’s an forensic enquiry and ten minutes for jumping too high. FFS. 

Does Littens head clash with Nikorima in the previous game not count as contact with the head.  It's become a farce and bang on the money... It's thaler. 

Sailor leaps for the ball with a leading knee and guess what, knock on. FFS

Ridiculous sin binning. What is happening to the game?



It was a heavy challenge but it's a contact sport. There was no malice. He cannot jump high without lifting a knee.

It was no more a sin binning than custs was a sending off against the dobb8ns. We can't stop players challeformthe ball or the game is gone
