Even fatty vautin won an origin series.Well this is bullshit on a few levels.
About the only thing you got right is that they did run last in 2010.
Firstly the gun roster thing, he had a group of semi-professional french players, some of whom who could not speak English and then some journeyman players at the end of their careers looking for a retirement payment and a bit of a holiday in Europe. Have a look at the ages of the Australian players he had there in 2010.
In 2009 they made the semis, and he took them to the semi-final final only losing to the eventual premiers, Leeds.
Even in that shit year in 2010, Catalans made it to the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup.
This was the Catalans squad in 2010:
No ↓ Player Rep Age
McGUIRE, Casey 30
SHERWIN, Brent32
BELL, Steve 34
JOHNSON, Dallas 28
WALKER, Chris 30
MOGG, Adam 33
CARLAW, Dane 30
GREENSHIELDS, Clint 28
GUISSET, Jérôme 32
ELIMA, Olivier 27
FAKIR, Jamal 28
MOUNIS, Grégory 25
TOUXAGAS, Julien 26
BOSC, Thomas 27
MARTINS, Sébastien 25
CASTY, Rémi 25
FERRIOL, David 31
RAGUIN, Sébastien 31
SA, Setaimata 22
GOSSARD, Cyrille 28

If that is a gun roster you are a shit judge of football teams.
At a lower level of coaching he took the Toowoomba Clydesdale team to a premiership in the Qld Cup in 2001. He took over an Ipswich Jets team in the Qld cup that had run 9th for a couple of seasons. In his first year in 2007 they came 4th. In his second year in 2008 they won the minor premiership but were beaten in the grand final.
He is at 2-2 in State of Origin with Qld losing a host of champion players during his tenure. He has been able to get a far weaker Qld squad to run NSW close. But don't let any of those facts get in the way of your load of crap narrative.
With a turnover in the squad of 13-14 players from 2010 to 2011, almost half the squad changed. With one of the notable new additions being Steve Menzies.
And potter's team got knocked out in the elimination final, Walter's team went one further in 2009.

And yet, he has been the attacking coach at both the Broncos and Melbourne Storm, obviously clueless and they just appointed him to the position out of charity because of his obvious lack of skills and abilities.
Forrest, is that you?
