I agree with all of that, my point was that the current Catalans set up bring very little to Super League, the emphasis on current, as I'm not having a go at them for bringing a colourful flag as their away support. Their play was poor, their attitude was poor, they offered nothing yesterday apart from a bit of niggle.

Big game next week against Leigh, I hope Leigh put up a fight rather than allowing Catalans to muck about away and think that they can survive by winning their home games

More likely the end of Catalans in SL.

Definitely think we'll be seeing one SL team go down now. Warrington have already done their trickier fixtures and will coast through to 'promotion'. HKR have home fixtures vs Widnes and Catalans to come and I'd fancy them to win one, even away to Warrington final week could be winnable with Warrington more than likely having their feet up having qualified already.

3 way battle between Catalans, Leigh and Widnes to survive for me.

After all these years, I still can't see what Catalans bring to Super League.
I'd rather have thousands of Hull KR or Leigh fans paying through our turnstiles than the half dozen that "travel" to support Catalans.

Half dozen being generous

Thanks for those nice words Jean , if we end up being relegated , so be it , despite what many think of us I think we have entertained and been competitive in most of our games

Can we beat Les Cats ? , well we were 12 seconds from doing so in the regular season , so I see no reason to think we can't

Unfortunately won't be able to make it over so will be in the pub next sat , can't wait

They will be fine, as they have just appointed Cunningham as DOR.

Why don't you head over to one of the boozers in Chorley? You could debate face to face with Jean then.

Nice one

but I bet if cats are ready to go down the RFL change the rules again

well if you dont come up, most rovers fans think the rfl will change the rules to 13 teams

They may then remember that expansion and relegation dont go together.
It's ok when the likes of Toulouse or Toronto are striving for promotion but, if/when these clubs make it to the top flight (or, IF Catalan face relegation), it's a smack in the face for expansion.

Whoever thought of the 3 x 8 system, really should have thought a little further forward.

Having said that, there are some great games in the middle 8's and with some Championship clubs spending big on the s/c, they are genuinely competitive.

Fax v Widnes this aft is a real difficult one to predict and should they pull off a shock, Widnes and Leigh will be fighting for their super league lives.

Leigh have just appointed Keiron Cunningham as head of rugby to work alongside Neil Jukes.
