I'm also sure they signed a fair few players into the senior squad. McNamara might actualy turn out to be the best coach for Catalan to date.

Lol no

 

[StadiumXIII]

Shouldn't get your hopes up they might go and sign someone like a Ben Matulino or Simon Mannering leaving these guys to look for opportunities elsewhere.

 

[deal.with.it]

Just signed Benjamin Julien for 2 years

Couldn't agree more with what I said

 

[CC_Roosters]

Well the results would need to start turning or they will find themselves in the bottom four again

 

[Warriors Fever]

Might get to see them play Toulouse. I would back Toulouse atm

 

[Foreign Legion]

not looking good for Catalans

Toulouse would smash them.

The problem with McNamara is he's a shit coach...but a excellent "director of rugby..excellent at laying down plans & programs that'll bare fruit 2,3,4 years down the line..

Catalan need to move him upstairs asap and get a decent coach in

What evidence is there of this?

 

[roughyedspud]

England...all the off field stuff was excellent...or are you gonna argue it wasn't?

What did it do? The England team is about the same as it always has been. McNamara's programs did f**k all in terms of the team's performance and England didn't beat Australia or a full strength NZ with him in charge. And Bradford are now in League 1 so clearly his 'programs' didn't work too well there either. If you can explain how any of the off-field stuff he did has had any positive impact and wasn't just gimmicks to try and mask his dreadful coaching then I'm happy to hear it.

0-26 to a Warrington who have hardly had the best start to the season. Not sure how things get worse from here.
We could end up with two French teams in the million pound game.

Well at least that would ensure a French team still in the top league.

I think it will be between France or Canada for the top league which would be a shame if both countries weren’t represented

Really poor yeaterday. Maybe it's early days and they will turn around but it's pointing to the middle eights for catalans

 

[Storm13]

Don't know why I got up at 2:40 in the morning to watch the shit they dished out.

No punch up the middle, forwards were losing meters in the hit up. No spark from anyone.

They won't turn it around with the current coach in charge.

I’m hoping we have Toronto and Toulouse come up with Widnes and Catalans going down.
Normally it would be almost impossible for two teams to come up but if anyone could do it it’s these two sides.
Hopefully dropping down would be the kick up the arse Catalans need to get their house in order and they could come back stronger in a year or two.
