that's better Tom !!!!

just one question though...

where the f**k does he get his energy from ?

Good question. I'm a year younger than him and I'm knackered.

wait till you get to my age mate and see how bad it feels !

I find a different part of the body which hurts every day - muscles & joints I didn't even know I had !

time to open another bottle of red - purely for medicinal purposes of course

Maybe a bit late, but the report is online.

never too late Vivien - nice one

regarding SKY - Phil Clarke was telling me (namedropper or what ?) that SKY are contracted to cover two live league games from the Catalans 'home' games (the second I belive is Wigan from Montpellier ?) - they,SKY don't really want to because of the cost involved but they are contractually obliged to cover the two live games and of course any play off games later on - I think the same applies to the Broncos

Updated the tables, stats and everything. Do we give the rlplayer of the yearrl award to Dureau now or what?

you are joking !!!


the leading contenders have to be

1 - Baitieri (by a mile)
2 - Menzies
3 - Millard
4 - Bosc
5 - Dureau
6 - Greenshields
7 - Casty
8 - Fakir

et al.

Fact - Baitieri is the first name TR pencils in on each teamsheet

Agreed for Baitieri (I'm also surprised to see he has only 2 points... I'm maybe not able to give a proper podium) but put Dureau on the 5th spot is a bit harsh.

ok Vivien, a bit harsh so :

1 - Batieiri (by five miles)
2 - Millard
3 - Menzies
4 - Dureau
5 - Bosc
6 - Casty
7 - Hendo
8 - Greenshields
9 - Fakir
10- Sa

et al

most improved player has to be Ferriol because of his great improvement in discipline that's thanks to Trent and the coaching staff

what would be your top ten ?

Hm...

1-Dureau
2-Baitieri
3-Menzies
4-Casty
5-Henderson
6-Duport
7-Millard
8-Bosc
9-Fakir
10-Mounis

Dead hard to do a top 10! I think all the players has the same level apart the top 3, the order after is a bit random...

difficult to put any player under three but really, Dureau at no.1 !!!!! and you can't honestly put Duport who has been ok (ish) without being consistent above Millard ????????

he's done ok but the 'sexy' positions always stand out and the 'non sexy' like LF or 2nd Row etc don't get noticed or recognised as they should IMO

We didn't see the same games so, Duport is maybe the best French on the pitch with Casty. For the order, I didn't give it any significience as I've said before...

In my top 10 you have : 2 halves, 2 props, 2 loose forwards, 2 , one hooker and second row! 2 forwards on the top 3! 4 backs, and 6 forwards on the top 10!
Really Peter, I tried to notice the good work of everyone, and if I see only the sexy positions and want to look like a complete rugby league faggot :

-Dureau
-Bosc
-Millard
-Blanch
-Duport
-Greenshields
-Sa
-Pryce
-Cardace
-Sean Rudder!

We agree on the idea the boys who don't score tries or little chips over the top are less noticied, but we can't forget the playmakers and game deciders!

John,please have a quiet word with this whippersnapper !......
