Quote: [Gareth] ""Whereas if catalans where playing in one of the games they would demolish the opposition.....'"
If the Catalans were playing at home at full strength --- just as Wigan and St Helens will be -- Catalans would put up a very good performance. I am sure that it would be better than what will be served up by Wigan and St. Helens. The fact is that Brisbane is an even stronger team in 2016 than it was in 2015, and it will even be hard for most other NRL teams to compete with it.
Catalans is now partly an NRL team in exile, with the likes of Patrick Richards, Krisnan Inu, Todd Carney, William Mason, Glenn Stewart, David Taylor, and others fresh out of the NRL.
