In reply to the op.
I dont know if Catalan can win more silverware next season but, you would have to expect them to be comfortably mid table and on the basis that they are unlikely to lose 8 from the first 9 rounds, possibly pushing for 5th spot.
We all thought their coach was bang average and maybe not even that but, to be fair to the guy, he proved everyone wrong.

Speak for yourself. I’ve always rated Steve McNamara highly as a coach, said he should have been kept on as the England coach and said he would achieve great things when appointed by Catalans. |

I've never been to Chorley. I don't even know where it is.
My only remote connection to Chorley is the upbringing there of our new Catalans acquisition Samuel Tomkins. |

I agree with this post.
I am still not convinced McNamara can win a Super League but after calling for his head at Easter I am happy we won the cup.
Could they have another run of results and performances like they did June July of this year though? |

He's very average when it comes to league games only winning 40% of them , he very much put all his eggs in one basket towards the challenge cup and got a lot of recognition for winning that trophy.
When it comes to challenging on all fronts I think he is quite a bit behind Wane, Price, Powell and Holbrook. |

If they get on a roll again, there is no reason why not. The cliche about winning becoming a habit is certainly true.
As for silverware, the cup is always a possibility but, the Grand Final is a different matter and for sides that haven't won fro a number of years (or not at all), I think they have to go through the experience and probably lose, before they can win the main prize. |

Good luck getting that visa paperwork signed off for "Mrs" Ting Tong.  |

Remember that he was 2 games from the chop and there wasn't ANYBODY (even YOU) that thought he was doing a decent job over there and but for the win against Huddersfield, he would have been down to le Pôle Emploi. |

Catalans made a big mistake getting rid of Drinkwater, as did Leigh !
I predict under McBanana's stewardship a season of Catalans mediocrity, 7th !

I will take note of your wild prediction and return to it next September, when Catalans have made the playoffs. |
