SL France-watch

[milton]

Only 2 French players in the starting team against London, another 4 on the bench. Surely there are better French players out there than blokes like Aiton, Anderson, Horo, Walsh, Thornley.

That is woeful. Somone should remind them that Catalan were admitted into SL to improve French League.

They all play for other Super League teams now.

Barthau was very good against Catalans

 

[East Coast Tiger]

With Gigot, Yaha and Bosc out and the likes of Pelissier, Maria, Escare and a couple of younger guys leaving to get a run elsewhere Catalans are likely to only have a few French players. But the fact those others are now at English clubs shows Catalans are producing players, they're just not utilising many of them themselves.

Either way they're going to struggle to avoid the million pound game and if they go down they'll probably battle to survive at all and there could be no players coming through at all.

Don't think they'll play in the MPG. If they lost to London probably win, it will be the difference. Can't see them losing to Fax or Fev. Need to win 2 out 3 Leigh Widnes KR. Should win all 3 really.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

If they struggle to beat London at home they're going to battle to win two of those three. Especially when this side is pretty much as strong as they will get for the remainder. They've been able to make excuses when players like Bird and Myler have been out but now they're not and the first choice players still missing probably won't be back.
