Tomorrow night from Perpignan, the way the French have been going lately, I can't see the Catalans winning, I hope I'm wrong, but to me they seem to have had Wembley on their minds for the last 4-5 weeks.
They really need to lift their game, I know they are full of injuries, but come on guys, have a dig.
The CC is nothing compared to winning the SL, yes it's still something special, but it's nothing compared to 28 weeks of football with knockout games added on to win the GF, it's one of the hardest things to do in all sports unless you have a Billionaire running the show who can buy all the best players, thankfully, RL is not like that.
Yes you have made the CC final, yes you have created history, yes you have most RL fans world wide behind you for this special occasion, but the bigger picture is the SL, this is your breed and butter, this is what the fans look at every week, to come last in your first year was expected, but to back it up with a second wooden spoon in a row is devastating, yes you can't get relegated, but their are fans out there from other clubs waiting for you to fail, just so they can say, wheres my SL team, why are these outsiders able to play in the big time even though they are sh*t, and my team who get crowds as big or better, are a heartland English team with 120 years of history be denied the chance to play in the biggest RL comp in Europe?
I'm not trying to be a sour puss, I am only saying what most Les Catalans Dragons fans are thinking, win or lose, you are doing RL proud, but some of the results lately are starting to look pathetic, if you lose but show you had a dig, people will accept it, you do us proud, but when you look like you are not interested, it damages the fans, the game and the club.
Come on, pull one out of the bag and show the RL community you have what it takes to stick it it the best of English RL, what a better way to show all of England and France this weekend, Wembley will not be a walk over.
And the bigger picture, you deserve to be in the European Super League on merritt, rather that location.
