Catalans Dragons v Wigan Warriors

[MrDave]

It's no surprise that we concede more points when Mathers is playing full back - why oh why do we play him. We look a far better side with Pat at 1 and Calderwood on the wing - rather than relying on the proverbial turn-style of tackling at the back!

I wouldn't be surprised if les cats make 50!

Richie had a good first half, made a try saving tackle. Not heard much about him in the second half.

Phelps seemed anonymous accept for a consolation try near the end, why do we need an anonymous Aussie when we have homegrown players who can be just as uninvolved.

It was Phelps' first game and from what I heard it sounded like he did well, every time he touched the ball he managed to beat the first man.

[fitzy]

the commentators compared one of his passes to a jamie Lyon pass and said he went in untouched for his try due to pace. I've not seen it but not to bad by the sounds of it

Catalans have only lost twice at home this season. They are not a bad side. They have turned over Saints at home as well this season.

Yes our defence recently has been horrible. There are a number of players who need to stand up and be counted - fielden at the top of the list.

Noble needs to drop him for a few games and give ocarrol a go.

As for Phelps you need to give him a couple of games. Lay off until the end of the month and then lay in to him if he is still playing rubbish.

The main positive is that we have 7 of our last 9 games at home. Lets get behind the lads and try to win all our home games. We will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.

[fitzy]

just been looking and Catalan have only been beaten twice at home this season. Still disappointed but just highlights how far they've come and how good they are at home

[MrDave]

Fielden has to be dropped there can be no argument in his favour anymore.

Noble is obviously not picking people on form and is just picking his favourites and completely disrespecting the people he doesn't like. He needs to sort himself and the squad out. I've always been a big fan of Noble but some of his squad selections this season have been bizzare and that is not going to help Wigan in the long term.
