After delivering a “blueprint” of how to lose, Sam Tomkins says Catalans Dragons must get back in the black on Saturday.
The England captain leads them against champions St Helens in Perpignan. And they owe Dragons fans a performance after Sunday’s shocking golden-point defeat at Castleford. Steve McNamara’s error-ridden side gaffed more times than Nadine Dorries and certainly fluffed their drop-goal attempts. After throwing away a winning position in the 17-16 defeat, with Tomkins himself bombing a chance over the line and missing a simple conversion attempt, he admitted: “It just wasn’t good enough.
“It was really frustrating. We gave ourselves a blueprint on how to lose a game. We really undersold ourselves. We did a hell of a lot wrong and set ourselves up for that finish. We’ve had a few performances that have dipped and every now and again you accept a bad game but that one was really below par.”
