With the value of the pound plunging, Catalans paying players in Euros and the salary cap limit in pounds. I would expect Catalans to have a lot of room left on the cap. |

Every year Jean you make an announcement regarding the player that's going to make Catalans the champions that year. As of yet it hasn't materialised. Catalans have a deep routed culture issue that they need to address. One player isn't the answer nor is a team full of washed up second rate Aussies.

Hull only managed to beat them FOUR times... |

He's 32, & your team will win nothing in 2017, you harp on every year that the saviour of French rugby has arrived, see you next season Jean, do you even travel to away games, or are you just a keyboard fan?

Steven Menzies was 39 when he retired. Gregory Bird is as fierce a competitor as Steven, and will inspire his team to reach new heights that Hull FC can only dream of.
I spend so much money on home games that, like most Frenchmen, I cannot afford to travel to away games.
However I have a friend in Wigan whom i can stay with, when I want and am able to afford to fly abroad to see Morgan and Romain playing at their new home ground, and Eloi and Antoni at their new home ground nearby. |

Please explain to me what Catalans have won...ever??
Money for old rope, agents must be rubbing their hands when the Catalan club are on the look out, is that where your English partner lives pie town? Any player that wants to win silverware will leave France pal. |

Sadly Catalans can sign all the quality players they want, but they won't win a thing until they replace their coach IMO

We only dicked you four times out of four this season, sticking 132 points past you in the process. 
So who knows, the bar brawling, cop car urinating, glass smashing, sex-text pest, may just elevate you to dizzy new heights next year.
But then again..................... |

Hull FC was lucky to be facing a Catalans team that was riddled with injuries to key players this year. Hopefully next year will be different.
The man you describe in such jaundiced terms has a track record at Catalans from 2009. He took a team that was very poorly coached, and lifted them to 80 minutes away from the Grand Final. We expect that next year or the year after he will be able to go one or two steps better, and get to and perhaps win the Grand Final. He is an inspirational leader, so if Richard Myler, Paul Aiton, Krisnan Inu, Anthony Gigot, Jodie Broughton and Fouad Yaha are all fit, the team has the capacity to win games against the best of Super League.

You do realise his name is actually Greg not Gregory. By that I mean Greg is not his shortened name but actually the one on his Birth Certificate. You can chose to have the diminutive as the actual name rather than a shortening of the full name if you wish.
My sons mate is called Alfie, which is his full name not the diminutive of Alfred.
Just thought you'd like to know and thus save us all from this tedious bit of bufoonery on your part

Nah, a clown is often funny and humorous... Jean "Crapdozey" is neither, just a rather monotonous annoying twonk.....that's why he's on my ignore list, just wish admin could sort it so that his posts don't even appear when someone quotes them....... |

So you are telling us that you have seen Gregory Bird's birth certificate? How did that happen?
