Nowt to do with me!
Our player of the season system isn't perfect. It worked fine for the first four years of this website, but Scott's broken it. We are reliant on the opinions of the report writer, or the group of people they are at the game with. I'd have opened it up for a wider vote, but when we're short of supporters over in England it becomes tricky.

And when you read the John's table about the squad : catalan.rlfans.com/viewpage.php?page_id=65
7 Scott Dureau Apps : 10 Tries : 5 Goals : 44 Points : 104
He's the third best tryscorer with Bosc and Blanch. Millard and Duport with eight tries are on top, and Greenshields has the second spot with 6.
Am I mad to think Dureau is one of our best players?

| Henderson and Dureau are the reason for your success (judging by what i've seen on the net).
They are the ones giving you structure. The rest of your guys are just doing their jobs and dining out on the opportunities those two are throwing their way.
Lose those two and you would see a huge difference. I'd go as far as saying you couldn't win if both were out.

well,Hendo was out for a few games and Ben Fisher with Pelissier did a fine job - Fisher especially was brilliant and filled Hendos boots admirably - the coach did good business bringing in Fisher.
regarding Dureau - a long term loss of Dureau might be tricky but Trent would shuffle the lads around and i'm confident Bosc,Barthau & Pryce could cope well enough
Trent has options now and his players are adaptable especially with Bosc being able to play in so many positions not to mention his kicking...
a bigger loss for me would be Baitieri & Millard

I've never thought much of Trent as a coach, but he has shown at Catalans that his great skill is in recruiting.
He has bought really, really well.
All his buys seem to have one thing in common - they are smart guys and great students of the game.
Robbo showed at the Knights and the Roosters that he can't do much with a bunch of raw footballers as a coach, but he has shown at Catalans that he can find guys who know what they are doing and he can let them do their thing, which looks like a winning strategy.

I'm seven years younger, and following each Barrow and District A team game!! I play in I wonder how I could possibly do a Menzies and play for another seven years.
Sometimes I struggle with another seven minutes.

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'"
Totally agree, which leads me to my 10
1, Ferriol
2, Casty
3, Paea
4, Fakir
5, Baitieri
6, Mounis
7, Menzies
8, Anderson
9, Henderson
10, Dureau
You will notice Vivien that my ten (excluding the last two) are the real heroes of a team, the forwards, with our props taking up the top four places!!
With Henderson ahead of deurau because hookers are better cos they hang around with props!!

| Has Trent Robinson made a single 'bad' deal since he was at the Dragons? I think every player he has brought in has done a good job!
On the other hand, while a few of you name him in your top 5, is it just me or did Bosc have an absolute shocker on Monday? might have just been a bad day, I rarely see the Dragons.

can't think of too many bad signings - still a bit doubtful about Leon Pryce though for some reason
thought Bosc did well è he's been asked to play in so many positions this season and the try was well taken - his kicking isn't great at the moment mainly due to a niggling ankle injury which prevents him from giving it his all with the boot
