From looking like strong contenders for both the league leaders trophy and a visit to Old Trafford, they can not buy a win at present.
Why?
It can't just be injuries, almost every team has had this problem.
Can they get back on track?

They are toast. Don't know why they have imploded, perhaps Jean can enlighten us?
They won't get to OT though unless they get top 2 and a home semi, which is not happening now.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

Quite a few of the usual contenders have played badly over the first 6 months which gave a refreshing new top 4, unfortunately a drop in form at the business end of the season with an unsettled team can be damaging. |

And to think I said at the start of season they would get to Old Trafford its maybe to many old players that only went their for a holiday and a pension because no body else would have them  |

Like to know what has happened to the defence. They are conceding way too many points.
Not sure they will get out of this slump. Defense seems to have just crumbled.

I think that the loss of players to injury has had an impact. Not just the loss of their talent on the field, but also the unsettling of the team that followed. This is particularly evident in the chop and change in the halves, with Richard Myler being out for a long period and Todd Carney being in and out, with his form dropping.
Yesterday the team was missing star centre Krisnan Inu, star half back Richard Myler, star second rower Louis Anderson, and star hooker Paul Aiton (who has not played this year). The team was still strong, but not at its best, and I suspect that some of the players were playing with injuries.

Did Todd Carney really miss a conversion from infront of the posts against Widnes? Guess he was injured then too.

Come on Jean, you can't use Aiton!
Injuries are part & parcel, also at this time of the year many of the troops are playing with niggles. |

Gone wrong? Catalans have broadly achieved their usual aim of mediocrity.

Or maybe like most other SL teams, they just aren't very good! |

At least 8,000 French fans whom your team cannot come close to, and tens of thousands more English fans who like our game to have an international dimension. |
