CATALAN were delighted to maintain their unbeaten record at Stade Gilbert Brutus in 2012.

“It was nice to have another win at home to keep our unbeaten home record clean,” said coach Trent Robinson.

“I think we gained the win physically. Most of our line worked really hard and our first impact was always good and solid. That was a big part of our win and held us together.

“Last year we probably would have fallen away from the game and been happy with putting in a good performance, but when it got back to 20-20 we defended our line well and set up for the drop goal.

“I thought we were good structurally but our execution was average. We created some opportunities that we didn’t take but the physical side held us in the game.”

Scott Dureau will go for scans today to determine the extent of a knee injury that threatens to rule him out of next Sunday’s Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-final game against Warrington in Perpignan.

“Scott has a bit of a soreness on the outside of his knee,” said Robinson.

“What that means at the moment, I’m not sure. Hopefully it’s nothing but it could be a week, two weeks or a month, I’m not sure.

“It’s not right so we’ll get that checked out.”
