They didn't play well against Saints, they defended ok but didn't threaten a team with 12 men and the two tries they did manage to score were both dummy-half barges.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. If they end up in the MPG, You'll all be shouting on here again that we need them in SL. 2 faced T@@@S the lot of ya.

But considering they went from top to 9th in a year then with that downward slope they were probably heading that way.

I agree. Given teams usually have to hit the 20 points mark to make the Top 8 then they'll need to be pretty much perfect at home (10 games remaining now) and that'll be a tough ask not to lose anymore at home even if they play better there.

That's not really how it works though is it? They were doing poorly, replaced their coach with McNamara and became much, much worse. I don't think there's any way you can defend McNamara here. Didn't he lose 8 matches in a row before getting the sack at Bradford? So that means in his last 16 regular season SL matches he's won 1 and lost 15, and the one win was against Leigh and needed a last minute try to do that. Absolutely dreadful.

The subject name for this thread should be...........This cataclysmic Catalans team.

Wigan last Saturday, Leeds last Friday there's 2, SL has been like this every game this year so far

Might it not be because it’s cold ha ha

I'll stick my head up as a Catalans fan for you all...

I think that we have struggled since Trent Robinson left and remain over reliant on players who aren't up to it.

Bird needs to start showing his worth and stop arguing with everyone.

The form under McNamara is worrying and rather than steady the ship since Laurent left, he has arguably made us even worse.

Three matches this season is too soon to write the whole thing off, but with Bernard's reputation for impatience and no signs of an improvement in form, it could be over quickly.

Probably IMO. And for all they've been dreadful I don't see them being displaced from SL.

Just where is Jean Capdouze???

He is on our board today.

Catalan play Wakefield next week. My team have history of bucking the trend. We'll beat on form teams and confound the odds on a regular basis. We also have a tendency when expected to win to kick start other teams season by losing heavily.

This is a make or break for McNamara if not the club imho.
