In Form Dragons Scalp the Rhinos
If there is a time you don’t want to travel to Perpignan to play the Dragons, it would be the round after you’ve been given a rugby league lesson by the Castleford Tigers and lost your skipper for the rest of the season. The Dragons were on a cloud after beating the Red Devils in Newcastle last weekend and had their eyes on tenth spot, with a possibility of ninth with a big enough win.
The Rhinos took a makeshift side on the longest trip in the domestic game. Jimmy Keinhorst, Brad Dwyer, Adam Cuthbertson and Brett Ferres were all named in the thirteen to replace Watkins, Parcell, Peteru, Ferres and Jones-Buchanan. It was also a very youthful Rhinos bench. The Catalans made just one change to their winning squad with Mikael Goudemand replacing Jason Baitieri on the bench.

| Our best performance for two years. The team looks much fitter and there are far fewer errors . However we have only 3 home games left and 5 away. We need 4 wins, in my view, to miss the middle eights.The only problem was the 20 minutes when Mcilorum was off and Garcia played hooker . I was particularly impressed with Mcilorum Casty Moa and Tierney ,but nobody played badly and frankly the score flattered them .

| We need Da Costa in the squad if we're going to interchange McIlorum. I'm also not convinced by Tierney, he's bombing too many tries with his lack of size, really hope Yaha doesn't leave. Otherwise good performance, Casty's best game in years, he was immense

| Well Tierney went over for two opportunities yesterday and it was not his fault that they were ruled out . He only just missed a third where his speed nearly foxed two opponents . I was really thinking of the .yards he is making out of defence and the fact that he no longer looks dodgy under the high ball.
We cannot afford a second hooker while Bird is playing half back. I don't rate Da costa though he is certainly better than Garcia . Aiton???

| Sorry I forgot about Casty .I have not seen him play this well since 2013. His offload for the second try was brilliant and he regularly made 12 to 14 metres. All the props played very well yesterday. Having watched the replay I think that Julien should have passed not kicked in his break in the first minute and that Gigot should have gone over after Mead caught the high ball instead of trying to pass. However, this was a great day for dragons fans and long overdue.
