but we were just not good enough,” said Woolford, who watched the Giants win at Salford last Friday night.

“I thought defensively we were pretty good.

“At the end of the day, it was two tries to one and it was probably a lack of discipline that cost us.

“We certainly need to improve some execution on attack because we didn’t give ourselves a chance.”

Meanwhile, former England boss Steve McNamara is starting to get excited about the prospect of becoming the first coach to bring silverware to Catalans.

The French club became the first team to reach the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup semi-finals thanks to their hard-fought win and are now just 80 minutes away from Wembley, where McNamara’s last visit was for England’s heart-breaking World Cup semi-final defeat in 2013.

First up for the Dragons, who were runners-up at Wembley in 2007, is a trip to Bolton’s Macron Stadium for the historic doubleheader on Sunday, August 5.

“Catalans are one club who have yet to win a trophy so to be part of something that could be a first is a big attraction,” McNamara said.

“It’s quite clearly big for the club.

“I was going to come in here if we won and suggest taking the semi-final to Montpellier or Narbonne because we’d fill a stadium out there in the middle of summer, but I think it’s going to be a really exciting concept, two games on one day.

“We want to be part of that. But we can park it to one side now, it’s eight weeks away and we’ve got a Super League competition we can focus on.

“We definitely won’t get carried away but the players have worked hard to implement change and they’ve stuck at it.
