wakefield would have stood a good chance of beating wigan yesterday don't get too excited

I don' t think they will make the top 4.

Leeds are pretty nailed on for a top 4 spot, Can't see Catalan winning enough on the road to get past Saints and Wigan.

I would imagine Warrington will turn them over in a couple of weeks putting some separation between them and Catalan.

The cats are good enough but it will depend not only depend on their away form but on the likes of HKR, Hull FC, Widnes, Cas & Salford who will upset a few of the top 4 in the run in, 8 points diference from 3rd to 11th an awfull lot to play for in the next 5 or 6 weeks.

Wigan don't play like that every week. And neither do Catalans.

And what bewareshadows said.

I dont see us making it. We have had too bad a start I think.

For every drubbing of a Wigan at home there has been a dire performance like Wigan away.

Some consistency and a run to the play offs would do me nicely.

Need to win away to make the top 4. Could also do with being in the top 4 after the 23 Round split and therefore have 4 home/3 away games to finish the season. Again it would require them to win at least one (if not two) of their remaining 4 away games to make that.

The proof of the pudding etc.

You write the Dragons off at your peril!

The only way that Les Cats will be successful in any shape or form is if they play ALL 23 matches a Perpignan, on their performance against an understrength and underperforming Cas they were truly poor.
If you think that a DANIEL Brough dependant Hudds. are a push over think again bro'.

We have won 1 away game in 10 months, are 3rd and got to the Grand Final last year so it can be done.

That's a bit misleading though because you are covering two seasons with that away form.

In 2014 you reached the Grand Final having lost your last few away games but you still picked up a healthy 13 points from a possible 26 away from home over the course of the season. So far you 3 points from a possible 14. Even if you win all your remaining games you'll only reach 11 and that is unlikely with away games vs Saints, Hudds and Wire to come. You got a job on to get better than 7 points in total from all your away games before the split.

I wouldn't even be parting with any money for them to make the 8 just yet. Let alone the 4.

By the end of the week they will most likely find themselves behind Cas and Widnes, and one of the Hull teams will be a point behind with a game in hand (FC's is against Wakefield). There's nothing for them at Warrington either, whereas Widnes play Hull and Cas play KR, so at least 2 of their rivals will make ground on them. Then they play Hull at home, if they lose (unlikely I admit) they are pretty much doomed.

The worrying thing for me is that I actually think you believe this.

They can but it'll be up to Leeds, Saints, Wigan and Giants to give up there spots and for Warrington to lose points and for Catalan to get a win away from home. Not to mention the other good sides battling to get as high up the table as possible too.

Also if by a miracle Todd Carney finds his NRL form and gives it his best...(which I don't think he cares too much about doing) then maybe just maybe Catalans will get top 4.

The spots of Wigan, Warrington and Huddersfield are the ones that Catalans should be aiming for (Leeds and Saints are probably safe). That is why I wrote earlier that the Catalans away game against Huddersfield next weekend will be decisive.



Todd Carney has only played three games with Scott Dureau, and Catalans have not lost any of those games. I expect a fully fit Todd Carney and Scott Dureau, playing together and with John Zebolon Ta'ia and Morgan Escare,, to dismantle other top teams the same way that they dismantled Warrington and Wigan at Stade Gilbert Brutus.

I fully expect Catalans to beat the Giants at there ground. They win games at home no dispute. They don't play good away making the 4 too hard to accomplish.

Todd carney isn't even worth talking about. He isn't fully interested. How can anyone expect a guy who doesn't respect himself by peeing in his own mouth to respect anything.
As soon as he can jump ship back to the NRL he will.
All he needs to do is be a good boy to do that.. He doesn't even need to play games to prove himself.
