St Helens wing Jack Campbell told BBC Radio Merseyside:<\/p>\n
“It was an unexpected call-up this morning. Half eleven I got a call. I was just sat there eating my breakfast thinking I was going to be in the squad, 20th man or something like that, then I got told I was playing on the wing. That was unexpected as well because I’m a natural full-back.<\/p>\n
“As soon as I got the call my heart dropped, I was nervous as hell but excited as well and I loved it.<\/p>\n
“I love playing with the reserves with my mates every week but I loved it out there as well.<\/p>\n
“Every single one of them looked after me and took care of me.”<\/p>\n
Catalans Dragons head coach John Cartwright said:<\/p>\n
“I think there’s been three or four times since I’ve been here we’ve given up three or four tries in a ten-minute period and you’ve just got to start looking at where we are as a group. <\/p>\n
“You can’t be doing that. It’s attitude, it’s just a will and a want and getting through some tough periods.”<\/p>\n
