and for only the second time i agree with barry

What was the first time?


The Golden Point being brought into Superleague?

Paul Gallen is the best second Rower in the world?

Adrian Moreley couldnt keep his high shots down so was sent home by the Roosters?

Eliss and Burgess are decidedly average in the NRL?

VB is the best beer in the world?

Heavyweight cotton footy jumpers are far superior to the 'cheap' ISC polyester ones that feel like a cheap pair of kiddies jamjams?

About the Scorpions player getting championship player of the month

Ahhh

Yes I'd forgotten that one.

...just how flat is your cap?

His whippet ate it.

Care to tell me what was wrong with our tenure in Super League?

yeah agree with that

kevin walters has done so much damage to the club. but still if the clubs roots are that weak they cant handle one bad coach.

very disappointing theyve signed another unknown coach

ive heard auckland also is good at RL too.

Why should not Perpignan council be involved , as the club generates quite a bit of cash for the region ?

?

Has anyone suggested that the mairie should stop its involvement?

If league status was based primarily on onfield performance, Wakey would not have anything to worry about as we have for the last 3 years done well in an area which in sport should be the key.

I hate it when Giants fans get all condescending about other clubs when the truth is if KD wasn't bankrolling the cheap season tickets and you hadn't got lucky with HTFC primarily the reason for getting the McAlpine you would have crowds on a par with ours and be playing in a ground worse than ours.

If Wakey could afford to put together the team you have we would get bigger crowds than you are now without any subsidised tickets

but for that seriously rich man huddersfield would still be playing in front of 250 people with a derby against hunslet.

True: Pelo and Fakir off to union on 10 times the salary.
True: McGuire & Bell off contract and not renewed, possibly Walker to leave due to injury.
True: Elima, Ferriol and Guisset at the end of contract and talks not resolved.
Possible: Greenshields targeted by some other club due to being the best FB in SL and possibly the whole Northern Hemisphere.
True: Gates have been lower this year than last.

This does not either support the possibility that the Catalans are in financial crisis nor explain away that they aren't. It would be good to know the scope of the problem if there is one. The bottom line is that of the known departing players only Pelo is a serious loss, others are good but their time has past or they are replaceable. We could further cut our running costs by dropping Carlaw and Sherwin without greatly damaging our on-field success. In fact, we could possibly discuss selling Johnson as we have a decent LF to take his place.

....and ours (bar the final year)?
