Apparently not as an outspoken chairman has indicated rlHERErl

I quite admire Hudgell,even though he is a solicitor,but it does show the player movement(s) long before the season ends.
I don't like it myself.

The things I do for you !

Elliott has signed for Catalans. So dont get excited

Catalans haven't made an offer for one and two they can't match the transfer fee we've offered the Bulls, he'll be signed on at salford tomorrow.

You come across very confident about this. You must be in the know because it's a very bold post to make otherwise. Catalans are a cash rich club and they have lost Louis Anderson for several matches through injury.

Are you sure?

It's what I heard. Something to do with taxation and costing them less to pay players compared to English clubs. I think this is why they have had the money to redevelop the stadium.

Employing people in France is considerably more expensive for an employer than in the UK
Equally, being self employed and operating as a company as I believe many do in the UK also costs more in France.

The french may have no word for entrepreneur (thankyou Mr Bush), but they certainly invented the word bureaucracy!

Thanks for the info I don't follow foreign taxes it's just something I heard which was obviously wrong.

Just another thought do you think with the euro doing well against the pound over the past few years, its actually affected Catalan negatively? For instance the Sky money would exchange into a lot less euro's than it would say 4 years ago.

Although the pound has fallen vs the euro, the biggest effect I suspect is the rise of the $AU

That said, if you were tempting an elderly Aussie to Europe, I rather think the French lifestyle has quite a bit that might sound a tad more attractive than the M62 corridor

It's impressive going to Perpignan and seeing what has been creating for a Superleague club who's every other game involves travelling to the UK - the size of the crowds, the enthusiasm, the stadium enhancements all show what can be done if the will is there.

In July 2009 the rate was 1.17,today it was 1.165.
I know that's spooky but that's what T'internet tells me.

Don't the RFL have some kind of mechanism that protects Catalan against currency fluctuations?
