Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "This thread is a bit harsh on Catalans and Steve McNamara. Whilst they lost their opening fixture, so did 5 other clubs. Remember Catalans finished 10th in the regular season and won 4 games in the middle 8’s plus the million pound game. I wouldn’t say they’re relegated just yet.'"
Well yes. But those 5 other clubs lost to teams everyone expects to be up there competing for the top 4. Catalans lost to the team most people have down as finishing bottom, and they didnt just get beat, they got crushed.
When we played them in pre season I said they looked a poor side, but didnt want to read too much into a friendly. Its still too early now to form a proper opinion on them but the evidence against them is mounting.
