Challenge Cup Semis

[bartman]

Full time. Mounis did make it back on the field, just saw him there in a tackle.

Top effort. Exciting good quality game all round.

 

[T to the T]

Absolutely MASSIVE for French RL with the coverage it's getting in France. Les Cats at Wembley, who'd of thought it!

Viva la expansion!

 

[The Tank]

Yeah Catalans!!!! What a boost for French RL!!! C'mon you Cats!!!

 

[bartman]

Wigan fans seemed to be booing the ref after the game?

Maybe they should have been looking harder at their teams first half performance.

Alex Chan talking about having played at Wembley back in 93 with Junior Kiwis. Also gave his best wishes to the Cayless family in the interview.

 

[bartman]

Also interviewed Stacey Jones and Adam Mogg on TV. Would have been nice for them to interview one of the French players, such as Guisset?

 

[CAS]

What an Effort !!!!! Will have to dig some French Gear out for the Final

Lots of Cat Fans there too.

 

[Evil Homer]

Guisset was immense. Best I've ever seen him play, fantastic stuff.

 

[deluded pom?]

Vive la France.

 

[Fairleigh Good!]

Also interviewed Stacey Jones and Adam Mogg on TV. Would have been nice for them to interview one of the French players, such as Guisset?

Why? He has a Sydney accent?

Absolutely enormous performance from those boys today. The stars were of course the two prop forwards, Guisset and Chan, plus Jones and Mogg. The French kids that made up the rest of the side were phenomenal and barely made a mistake all game.

10/10. Can't wait for the final now. Absolutely amazing match to watch too.

 

[miguel de cervantes]

The stars were...Jones...

...and almost the villan too. Very stupid thing for him to have touched the ball in flight. It wasn't going to be caught in any case.

 

[Evil Homer]

Of the French lads apart from Guisset, Raguin was probably the pick I thought, and 19 year old Duport looked strong on the wing, grabbing two tries. Great performances all round really, and one of the most entertaining games I've seen for ages.

 

[Brutus]

Great result for the international game.

Thanks for the reports.

Go Cats!!

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

That is absolutely brilliant! And against Wigan of all teams as well, beautiful.

This could be potentially huge for the French game as surely the result will get national coverage. I couldn't be happier. I just wish they were playing Bradford because unfortunately they have buckley's of beating Saints.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Just watching the semi's now. What an atmosphere at the Bradford/Wigan match! The crowd was amazing.

What a spectacular start by Catalan. I knew the score and when they scored them but you almost can't believe it unless you see it.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

A lot of recognisable faces in the Catalans team, but also some good young French talent.

Good for the game in France, just like when the Warriors made the NRL GF in 2002.

 

[deluded pom?]

Why? He has a Sydney accent?

Wouldn't that be a Canberra accent?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

He left Canberra at a fairly young age, then came back to play first grade, if Im not mistaken.

He also played for Erindale College, Canberra, alongside Richard Villasanti, Todd Payten and Nathan Hollingsworth

Just watching the semi's now. What an atmosphere at the Bradford/Wigan match! The crowd was amazing.

Do you mean the Draogns/Wigan match?

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Do you mean the Draogns/Wigan match?

Oh yeah, my bad. Bradford/Saints. The atmosphere was brilliant. Terry Newton did something stupid, knock on maybe and all the Saints fans 'you fat bastard, you fat bastard, you fat bastard...'. Priceless. :lol:

Bradford fans singing 'kiss our arse, our arse, whatever will be will be...' I wish I was there (maybe they sing que sera sera, but we sing kiss our arse, our arse at Souths games so I'll assume thats what they were saying).

It would be que sera sera. Bradford fans NEVER swear. :roll:
