Defeat leaves Frayssinous disconsolate

Laurent Frayssinous looked a beaten man as Catalan threw away a four point lead to lose 18-10 against Huddersfield at Magic Weekend on Sunday.

The Dragons led 10-6 with eight minutes to play, but tries by Sam Rapira and Adam O’Brien condemned the French side to a fifth successive defeat in all competitions.

“It is very frustrating, it was an important game for us and we let the win past,” said Frayssinous.

“We let the two points slip and that’s disappointing. Our game management in the last ten minutes was not good, it’s as simple as that.

“Last week we were missing twelve players, this week we were missing eight players, and Ben Garcia hurt his calf again so I assume he’ll miss a bit more.

“To turn the luck we need to have some good, fit players on the field.”
