Are we getting LMS as a trade, or is he moving with Brian to Bradford?

Trent Robinson, who played in France back in the day, has apparently emerged as a leading contender. He's currently Brian Smith's assistant at the Chooks

Great, another Smith disciple to enlighten everyone else on how to play the game. Remind me again how many titles Brian Smith has won.

I hope Trent doesn't bring the same slap happy attitude to contracts that his mentor has (I don't think Brian Smith has ever finished a contract).

What's wrong with giving the head coaches job to Laurent, he's passionate about the club and speaks both languages as well as being a great fella.

The club need to develop their own and they will see the benefit for years to come.

yeh,totally agree but that would be TOO easy,wouldn't it ?

Dragons do seem obsessed with doing it the most difficult way.

Thought about this myself, I figure that the best thing for Catalans is to put Walters on gardening leave once we are out of the cup and let LF take charge until the end of the year. He may not prove SL coach worthy but it would be good development for him, might make him ready by 2013

Great idea, though you should have said "once we've won the cup".

I firmly believe that Kevin deserves to finish his time on a high, he has always been polite in the face of great adversity and given the tough times he's had in his life i'd love it if the boys could give him an appropriate send off at Wembley.

LF may prove himself to be ready now, we are guaranteed a new 3 year licence and he should be allowed to grow into the role.

Bobbie Goulding will be Catalans coach next season.

Is that a guess or do you know?

This poster has no idea about anything to do with RL, he doesn't even have a clue about the team he claims to support (probably because he is a troll from Nottingham). If Goulding ends up as coach of Catalans it will just be a coincidence

I kind of agree with that. If injuries (as well as players leaving, of course) are to blame, he should get his chance when the wounded return.

If of course they do this season.

No its not a guess. I have been told by someone who is high up in rugby league, that Bobbie has been talking to Catalans and things are looking very promising. I think it would be good for the Catalans players to work with the French coach week in week out, although it would make it difficult for him to monitor the Toulouse and Elite players.
