| Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Based upon yesterday's performance the answer would have to be yes.
The game against Huddersfield next weekend will be decisive. If Todd Carney, Scott Dureau, John Zebolon Ta'ia and Morgan Escare are all fit, then I would imagine that Catalans will dispose of Brough dependent Huddersfield quite comfortably. Note that Catalans have been playing without centre-winger combination of Benjamin Pomeroy and Vincent Duport for several weeks now. But Mouad Yaha has been a revelation on the left wing, and Anthony Gigot has been a remarkable performer in the centre.

The only way that Les Cats will be successful in any shape or form is if they play ALL 23 matches a Perpignan, on their performance against an understrength and underperforming Cas they were truly poor.
If you think that a DANIEL Brough dependant Hudds. are a push over think again bro'.

We have won 1 away game in 10 months, are 3rd and got to the Grand Final last year so it can be done.

That's a bit misleading though because you are covering two seasons with that away form.
In 2014 you reached the Grand Final having lost your last few away games but you still picked up a healthy 13 points from a possible 26 away from home over the course of the season. So far you 3 points from a possible 14. Even if you win all your remaining games you'll only reach 11 and that is unlikely with away games vs Saints, Hudds and Wire to come. You got a job on to get better than 7 points in total from all your away games before the split.

| I wouldn't even be parting with any money for them to make the 8 just yet. Let alone the 4.
By the end of the week they will most likely find themselves behind Cas and Widnes, and one of the Hull teams will be a point behind with a game in hand (FC's is against Wakefield). There's nothing for them at Warrington either, whereas Widnes play Hull and Cas play KR, so at least 2 of their rivals will make ground on them. Then they play Hull at home, if they lose (unlikely I admit) they are pretty much doomed.

The worrying thing for me is that I actually think you believe this.

| They can but it'll be up to Leeds, Saints, Wigan and Giants to give up there spots and for Warrington to lose points and for Catalan to get a win away from home. Not to mention the other good sides battling to get as high up the table as possible too.
Also if by a miracle Todd Carney finds his NRL form and gives it his best...(which I don't think he cares too much about doing) then maybe just maybe Catalans will get top 4.

The spots of Wigan, Warrington and Huddersfield are the ones that Catalans should be aiming for (Leeds and Saints are probably safe). That is why I wrote earlier that the Catalans away game against Huddersfield next weekend will be decisive.

Todd Carney has only played three games with Scott Dureau, and Catalans have not lost any of those games. I expect a fully fit Todd Carney and Scott Dureau, playing together and with John Zebolon Ta'ia and Morgan Escare,, to dismantle other top teams the same way that they dismantled Warrington and Wigan at Stade Gilbert Brutus.

I fully expect Catalans to beat the Giants at there ground. They win games at home no dispute. They don't play good away making the 4 too hard to accomplish.
Todd carney isn't even worth talking about. He isn't fully interested. How can anyone expect a guy who doesn't respect himself by peeing in his own mouth to respect anything.
As soon as he can jump ship back to the NRL he will.
All he needs to do is be a good boy to do that.. He doesn't even need to play games to prove himself.

Todd Carney has not been peeing in his own mouth in Perpignan. In fact there is no certainty that he ever peed in his own mouth, though he attempted to feign doing such when at Cronulla.
Anyway this has nothing to do with his performances on the field for Catalans. He played very well last weekend, even though still not at his best. He has been out for so many games with injury, that it will take time for him to gel completely with Scott Dureau and the rest of the team. I would not call him "not fully interested." He wants to win silverware, and Les Catalans Dragons are still on track for having a shot at both the Challenge Cup final at Wembley and the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford.

| For a team to struggle against a poor, part-time pit village in Featherstone - then no they won't achieve a top four finish.

Catalans were playing without both their star halves, Todd Carney and Scott Dureau, their star attacking second rower John Zebolon Ta'ia, their star hooker Ian Henderson, and their tireless lock forward Jason Baitieri. Not surprising with such a fundamental disruption that they struggled against the pit villagers.
Judge them when they are at full strength against the likes of Warrington and Wigan. A proper dismantling in both cases.
