| 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.

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!! ![Cool icon_cool.gif](images/smilies//icon_cool.gif)

| 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

thought Pryce was excellent, adds a new dimension to your team I reckon.

yeah,he did ok and it was his best game so far - it obviously takes time to get into the swing of things especially when TR plays him in different positions each week
he is still a class act but I am still to be convinced he is ok for the Catalans,along with Louis Anderson - give me a few more games to have a better idea
I think TR is trying find the right formation for the lads and having all the recognised wingers out hasn't helped him but I think he's done well with the players at his disposal - the way he has transformed the former penalty machine Ferriol into a better disciplined prop is amazing.
the big players for me are Baitieri and Millard who are playing out of their skins IMO

Don't worry mate, I got you. Mine was a fake top ten too, if that was my real top ten I would have found a place for Super Setaimata in there, Innit. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)
