Walloped at home another player sent off, i have to say i had reservations after last years wet sail job to make finals a couple of things to note.
*The dramas at leeds pub and arrest is affecting players.
*The team is heavily reliant on bosc, if his injury is worst than 1st thought they must persist with young barthau.
*They will struggle to make 8, the way i see it, walters must blood more talent if this is the case, kane bentley needs more game time a class number 9.
*Walters seems to put any aussie who has played rep footy ahead of french lads, please drop bell put walker on the wing and sa in 2nd row.
*They have had 3 super years, challenge cup final, 2nd finals appearances three play off wins including a home walloping of warrington, a slide is on the cards.
* Will the dropping of gussiet cause internal unrest at catalans.
*They will again struggle at wigan, walters needs to persist with young barthau.
*I expect a 10th or 11th finish, sides have caught up.

But the same coach was in charge then? So what was he doing then that he isnt now?

Quote: headhunter "Yeah, except this discussion was not about Wigan at all other than that they have a coach that is getting the best out of the players and that this is clearly what Catalans are lacking, especially considering that they put 40 points past the same team last year so there are no issues with ability.'"

So it did have something to do with Wigan.

Catalans are awful. Now whether that's down to the players, Walters or a combination of the two I don't know, but they need to get it sorted soon.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg

No, I think Greg Bird papered over a lot of cracks at the end of last year, and 8th was still a poor finish after the regular season, it wasn't a progressive year for the club at all and at no point did the team look like the coherent unit that it did under Potter, the style of play was more akin to 2006. The squad is more balanced this year, yet performances have been terrible.

Fair point. The Wigan tactics were spot on.

I think you make a lot of fair points there HH, allthough im not sure the squad looks more balanced, i feel we have too many back rowers, we've had them playing centre when we already had back rowers covering centre, we've had them playing hooker and we have had them playing prop.
