They're dire - there seems to be an awful culture at the club, where former superstars just go for a jolly.

And well played HKR.

Should set up nicely for a nail-biter against Warrington though.

Albeit one with little-to-no points scored.

kr didnt have to play well tbh did they?

worst catalan team ive seen since they joined superleague, said last season, the biggest mistake they made was appointing mcnamara! just doesnt have a gameplan or a severe lack of one! the catalan teams a couple of seasons ago were exciting to watch and had flair in their attack play, now its 5 drives and a kick or barge through!

walsh-past it im afraid
bird-stealing a living, wouldnt surprise me if a good wedge of the catalans SC was being picked up by him

going to be a long season for them, with toronto and leigh looking strong in the championship they could be down end of the season!

I was being slightly ironic; that said, you can only play what's in front of you.

catalans were spectacularly bad and look to be early candidates for relegation. macnamara picking up where he left off last year when they were within a whisker of relegation. If they don't get rid of him early on I can see them going down.

Not really, they were top of the league in May 2016. Had a dodgy start to last season, appointed McNamara and things went from bad to much, much worse. McNamara hasn't actually won a game against SL opposition during his time as Catalans coach, the only team he's beaten is Leigh.

Joan are you joining this thread ? don't worry all will be well when Gigot returns, btw how's man of steel Mead going ? he'd probably drop the award.

The Masoe, Lunt and Tickle tries, absolute basics! Pub teams would be embarrassed to concede those three. I get that Mead is a big name but is he afraid to tackle? Catalans had a dig against Saints but they were appalling here. The game wasn't a good advert for the sport.

They were up at the top in May '16 but finished a a considerable 10 points off of 4th by the end of the year and were 9th in May 2017 when they sacked Frayssinous, that's pretty much a year long slump he had them on beforehand.

Twice, when Leigh were in Sooper Dooper league....

They will need to rely on home form again this year. Clearly there was a huge difference in standard between their two away games and their home game against Saints. They seem incapable of travelling and playing well, which is a pretty damning indictment of their professionalism.

On this form, albeit it's only week 3 of a long season, it's difficult to see anything other than a bottom four finish for a team which on paper should be better than that.

I'd say 9th is a hell of a lot better than finishing 5th in the qualifiers having barely beaten two Championship teams and looking a million miles from winning a game at SL level.
