Catalans Dragons head coach Joel Tomkins told Sky Sports:<\/p>\n
“I’m really, really proud of the boys. They had a bit of a nightmare journey yesterday. The scramble, the desire and just the work for each other, they never gave in, and I thought we got what we deserved tonight.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got a few injuries at the minute, but what we have got is a group of lads who are willing to work hard.<\/p>\n
“We might not be the most experienced group, but they’re going to come in and they’re going to work hard for each other. On the back of that, they’ll get results.<\/p>\n
“In the week, we had some honest conversations, and it’s going to be a long season for us if we turn out performances like we did last week. If we turn out performances like we did tonight, then it’ll be a really enjoyable one.”<\/p>\n
[On his side’s journey to Leigh:] “Obviously, its not perfect preparation but we never have perfect preparation – we average eight to 10 hours [of] travel [for away fixtures]. <\/p>\n
“That’s part of playing for Catalans. It’s a special group to be a part of – living in the south of France and playing in the English Super League. <\/p>\n
“We don’t whinge about it, we use it as a connection piece for the group. We might do some connecting flights for a few more away games if we turn up like that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Catalans Dragons head coach Joel Tomkins told Sky Sports: “I’m really, really proud of the boys.
