Typical narrow-mindedness of certain clubs who probably persuaded the RFL to go down this route. If I were in charge at Catalan I'd give clubs the cheapest, most inconvenient option available. He seemed shifty when talking about Toulouses IMG grading too

It’s mind blowing that the people entrusted with running this great sport even after all the years of Catalans not just being in SL but being a success have failed to come up with a solution to this issue. Just another example of the RFL putting the onus on someone else other than themselves.

It’s no wonder the sport here is struggling and not taken seriously with such amateurish governance.

Toulouse had to do it during their stint in Super League plus they refused to pay the bond for the Challenge Cup.

So do the UK clubs have to pay for Catalan to come over to the UK for the UK teams home match? I think its frigging ridiculous.

If I were Catalan I would be booking cheap coach travel so the UK side would have to travel by road, and then book a dodgy B&B in an awful part of Perpignan.

Catalans owner said it cost him £500k in travel last year, but they of course went the distance to the Grand Final but he's rich and knew what he was signing up for.

Which game is everyone watching tonight?

Tough choice but think I’ll start with Wigan v Huddersfield.

I'll be happy for Wire to get the points.

Watching Saints v Leigh.
Asiata in the bin for 10 in the first minute.
Joke.

I’m on Saints v Leigh too.

Not sure what the ruling is on that sin bin tackle? They didn’t explain it, more bothered about his previous against Saints last year.

Judging by Scott Taylors instagram picture, I can see why Savelio isn't playing for Huddersfield at the moment!

Watto the first coach to go?

Not as long as they stick to the process

He is followingg the procedure,the grass is too short,Wigan too far away,players not doing it,coach journey uncomfortable,dressing room not big enough,ref no good….all excuses he can use but never blames himself…he just coaches any skill out of players and we dodged a bullet with him.

The guys a complete fraud. The amount of players and money he's had at his disposal and to still be in that job is crackers
