Going down......
Looking at middle 8s and at the moment Catalans are struggling and look like they could be in the £M game. Wonder what the RFL are thinking after all the "Help" they have had over the years?

Re: Going down......
They will be very worried and to be fair to Catalan, they have been pretty much the only real success in Super League ... 9k fans most weeks and it's supposed to be The Europeans Super League isn't it ?? I for one hope they stay up ... should be Salford there instead, they offer zero to Super League and their empty stadium embarrasses the whole sport !!
Re: Going down......
I bet the system is changed next year if they go down. Even though this season is the best it has ever worked.
Re: Going down......
no doubt MR Wood and his merry men , will find a way to keep them in super league , any one away from the heartlands will be a special case

Re: Going down......
Its a strange situation. I agree about Salford lack of support but they play good rugby , have a passionate owner who is trying his best to raise the profile of the club and the 2000 or so real fans are proper rugby supporters. Its not their fault the rest of the area are UTD or City fans . I hope they move to Manchester , create a real fan base and stay in SL. Catalans should be replaced with Hull Kr as they bring nothing in terms of away support.Tigerwood posse wrote:They will be very worried and to be fair to Catalan, they have been pretty much the only real success in Super League ... 9k fans most weeks and it's supposed to be The Europeans Super League isn't it ??

Re: Going down......
Apart from away support I honestly think Catalans have been good for SL, they have good passionate support and do provide a nice yearly trip for away fans. Looking at their personnel, on paper they should no way be in this position. However after watching them quite a few times this season, I can honestly say they have been dire and double dire yesterday. They were lucky against London and in hindsight, how they ran us so close the other week I don't know. It was actually their only good performance for some time now.
Viewing them is like watching the paint dry, and they could send a glass eye to sleep. They are a big set with some big men, but many of them are dinosaurs with no finesse or skill sets whatsoever. To me it's a sad state of affairs, but they really have been terribly poor.

Another performance like yesterday and I don't think they'll even make the MPG!

Re: Going down......
Sounds like there is a split in the camp between the French players & the Samoan/Aus contingent.
Throw in the chairmen who is outspoken to say the least and a coach who's average at best its a recipe for disaster. Bet Halifax will be fancying their chances in a couple of weeks.

Re: Going down......
I like the idea of Catalans, but they made their own bed when they decided to buy washed up Aussoe discipline cases instead of really developing French talent.
It's no coincidence that all the best French players are on English teams- poor management by Catalans.

Re: Going down......
There is NO WAY the RFL will allow Catalan to fail.
I have no idea what's coming but it will be sorted.
Strange things may happen

Re: Going down......
If Wakefield dont sort a ground out they could be relegated to save Catalans? You just never know with the RFL.

Re: Going down......
It would be an absolute disgrace to relegate Wakefield on the state of their ground,it's probably my least favourite grounds, zzz I'm not a great lover of Wakefield but the have earned their place where it counts.
The will if need be expand the number of teams if the are desperate to keep Catalan in the top tier.

Re: Going down......
I think it will be next year where Wakey might find themselves in trouble if they do not have any concrete plans in place for the move away from BV.
If Catalans go down this year they would surely be favorites for a return in 2019 - that might be at the expense of Wakey if they don't get their act together. Done brilliantly this year though even though we have beaten them on all 3 occasions.
