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 |

| Quote: Barry_McKenzie "Barry McKenzie will try and keep this argument simple.
Rugby League is not popular enough anywhere else apart from the 'North' of England, PNG and up the East Coast of Australia to catch on to the extent where a club can have any real commercial success out side of these areas.
So don't try.
Make the sport stronger where it is popular first and then MAYBE, just maybe try expanding.
But not before.
This is how Germany lost Operation Barbarossa in WW2.
Too much too soon too fast.'"
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 ?

| Quote: Durham Giant "because it would create a space for one of the failing English heartland clubs to fill. Would probably save Cas or wakey from going into NL1'"
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 |

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. |

| No really Saddened. Please give us an answer. Tell us what was wrong with our period in Super League, given that P&R were in place and some teams HAD to be relegated. Come on, give us a laugh  |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: belgianxiii "TrueTrue
This is the biggest problem that any French club is going to have trying to establish itself at the top level of RL in SL
Any quality players produced by Catalans or even Toulouse are going to be poached by the French RU clubs with big money offers
Very difficult situation
