Jonny Lomax is a consummate professional who doesnt drink (unlike the wigan internationals), doesnt beat up students and eats clean, rescuing cats stuck up trees in his spare time or helping the elderly. Given all the bad press rugby league has had recently from domestic abuse to glassing team mates to drug taking, they want a face they know wont gather any bad press. Thats why he has a central contract.

MacBannana will soon coach that idea out of him

Catalans did not play badly against top 4 team St. Helens. Salford, Widnes, Hull KR, and probably Warrington would have done worse, and Wakefield and Hull FC would not have done much better.

Catalans needs time to gel its new signings and thus has a lot of improvement to come. In addition, if Anthony Gigot can resurrect his pre-ban form, Catalans will be in the top 8 easily.

Can we detect a hint of doubt in your previous assumption jeannie love

Storming St. Helens were also down to 12 men for the last 30 mins, and Capitulating Catalans still couldn't win.

But convivial Catalans had a man in the sin bin for ten of those 30 minutes so it was even numbers for all but 20 minutes. And the scores were close.
