I think we win this one. Might not be pretty, like.

Squad:
Inu, Williame, Yaha, Walsh, Myler, Moa, Aiton, Casty, Anderson, Horo, Bird, Bousquet, Garcia, Baitieri, Duport, Albert, Margalet, Navarrete, Tierney

I am going to the game .I am almost sick with fear both about the outcome in general and about the possibility that Garcia may again appear at centre-after he returned to the club last year he was played at centre and we lost almost every game.I would go Tierney---Duport Inu Williame Yaha--Myler Walsh -Moa Aiton Casty Horo Anderson Bird--plus Bousquet Baitieri Navarette and Garcia.I shall report back next Monday

Cheer up guys - we may be coming to see you again yet, in the £1Million game!

Can't see many Leythers venturing over again, so close to the last game, so you should have a huge majority in support.

Aye, the vagaries of the system mean it's a big ask for Leythers to make two trips in quick succession. Let alone if we have to do it again in a few weeks... But let's not go there just yet.

I still look at our squad and then watch back some of the performances, and I wonder how the heck they can tally.

Its just not logical !

Well this has started about as badly as is possible. Aiton off injured, GARCIA(!!??!!) hooking and making a f---ing bo--ocks of it. Like when Mounis used to be entrusted with the job. Not that McNamara has ever known a decent hooker, hence him playing Sinfield there for England, the massive twerp.

Not blaming Garcia, btw. He simply ain't a hooker.

For the first time, I think we're going down

If you wonder why so many good players are playing poorly then just look who you have as coach.
It was beyond all understanding that McNamara was hired as he's truly dreadful.
No one wants to see you go down but with him in charge it can't be ruled out.
With him in charge and when players come to the end of their contracts expect an exodus.

Bad choice from the board to hire McNamara. He isn't the guy to take Catalan forward.

The players though all season have been average. I am not a Catalan fan. Don't want to see them relegated

Like it says above, looking at the squad there just heaps of talent, how are we not winning games, i think even if we was fit ( which we arnt ) i still dont think that would help, we just dont look dangerous enough in attack, no line breaks, no pace, nothing different than the standard dummy drop off with a pass out the back, its too easy to read. Put that together with a poor defence and we are asking for trouble.

Has anyone worked out how we avoid the million pound game ? is it a case of we must win all remaining games ?

Me neither, but rather them than us!

As an outsider I wonder whether there's someone that's giving Guasch poor advice about players and coaches. I'd be surprised if Frayssinous actually chose some of the wasters that have got you in this position. I suspect McNamara is not the man to sort out the obvious toxic culture. Perhaps he was recruited because of that?

No complaints from me about the result or the margin.

There are some players now at the club who should be playing for their futures in the game. Who wants to be associated with a relegated team. No one wants that on their CV.

The coach is in severe danger now with Bernard having addressed the fans in the local media and the number of empty seats.

When you look at the level of talent we have let go or shipped out in recent seasons, this has been coming.

So what's the issue then?

Let's have a thread about it elsewhere... #Segway.

I arrived at the warm ups and immediately realised that both Aiton and Duport were limping.Aiton went off after 3 minutes and we had no proper no 9. They took the lead with a miraculous fluke or a brilliantly accurate kick.Thereafter they played us off the park They had,I think 5 "tries" disallowed. We had 3 real chances in the whole match.For the first time ever the crowd booed the team .A palpably aged Bernard slunk past the fans who had gathered in horror and dismay outside.In next day's paper Duport complained about foreigners and their agents and bragged about how he played with "heart". How stupid is he! At this rate we will not even make the M.P.Match The players are off to Font Romeau this week
Marks out of 10 Tierney 4 Duport 1-a consolation point because he was limping Inu 3 He continues his refusal to pass and having plucked a high ball he should not have lost it Williame 6 Yaha 5 Myler 8 ferocious commitment in the tackle and some good play with Walsh 7 -it is not the fault of the half backs that the rest of the team won't pass Casty 3 Moa 4 Horo 6 -but for the 4 knock ons in the tackle he played well Anderson 4 Bird 6 Made the extra 2 metres every time , but there was nothing else. Garcia 3 -out of position Bousquet 6 Margalet 4-not strong enough. Baitieri 3
Can anything be done? Bosc is training .We did well when he was playing earlier in the season.I would put him at full Back ,drop
Duport and hope that Thornley can get back.The forwards have to take more risks, though not necessarily against Halifax. At present we have no chance against H.K.R. or Widnes .Therefore the probability is that we shall be in the Champioship next year and for several years thereafter.

He was spotted on his mobile, during the course of the second half - sounding out his next coach, perhaps?
