Watching the TV reports here in Oz and I think when he goes back for sentencing in June, you wont see him for some time..... the judge was very scathing and I suspect 1 to 2 to years bird may be in order....

But after he appeals, it'll be the end of the season before he actually gets sent down.
Not right d. Don't particularly want him around, but can see what he's done for the side. Perry can f--- off now and I'll pay his air fare if needs be. Bell has to do something pretty bloody spectacular in the second half of the season to convince anyone he's worth hanging on to.

Do Les Catalans have to reduce their number of foreign imports next year?

@ Albert: yes and no, we said we would cut down and we still havn't.
@ lpage: I am fine with us having a top etranger on the books adding something that we lack. As it is we have Perry who provides possible cover in the halves, but who we would rather re-arrange the team than play. We have Bell who provides cover for Raguin. We have a half-injured jailbird who takes up interchange space and the captaincy for f-all reason.

We should not be wasting that money on etrangers, we don't have the money to waste! Cover is what we have UTC for, cover is what we relied on to get us to the CC final two years ago.

We don't have the money and if we did why not spend it on a better caliber of LER players and therefore better reserves from the French federation.

That's my problem with those overpaid, underperforming criminal dingoes.
