POTTER DELIGHTED WITH DRAGONS

Sunday May 25,2008

Catalan Dragons coach Mick Potter was delighted with his side's fighting spirit after they bounced back from two straight defeats to destroy Huddersfield Giants 48-0.

Clint Greenshields (2), Gregory Mounis and Dimitri Pelo, Jamal Fakir, John Wilson, Justin Murphy and Remi Casty all crossed for Dragons to get their campaign back on track after losses to St Helens and Bradford.

Potter said: "It's been a tough May for us especially after being rolled over by St Helens and Bradford like we were in the last two games. It was the perfect response from our players to those disappointments and I couldn't be happier with them."

He added: "I thought the players worked well defensively and executed exceptionally well on attack.

"At the same time I saw more errors from Huddersfield in this game than I have in almost any others in which they've been involved this season.

"That gave us field position and we capitalised on their errors superbly, and all credit to them for that."

Huddersfield coach Jon Sharp was far from happy with his players.

He said: "I'm devastated with what I've seen. After last week's great performance against Hull KR, I thought we'd turned the corner.

"Unfortunately that hasn't proved the case and what we saw in this game has been indicative of our season. We were out-muscled and bullied and that really disappoints me.

"We knew that is was going to be a tough game but it seems as if the players were not prepared for it. This defeat shows we've still an awful lot of work to do."
