Maybe you could explain how he manages to average nearly 40 tackles a game - I would say that is quite a lot of tackling wouldn't you?

No maybe imo.With Robinson still at the helm that squad would be fighting for the title without doubt.I don't see much change with the current regime.

Catalans need to get Carney fit and on the field if they do they will put up more of a stern challenge next year. Myler is a good signing for them.

How many French players will Catalan field next year?

Quick calculation about half their squad. Which is a better proportion of local talent than most SL clubs.

He's an NRL back rower it's his job to tackle. I never said he didnt defend. You said he wasn't a ball handler which he is renowned for.

Eh?

I said he is a typical NRL back row forward i.e. the primary job is to tackle - he can pass so can a lot of them - Stewart is not unique in that respect in the NRL.

Sal, Stewart is a ball handling forward. Have a look at last week's match vs the Roosters - he was virtually playing stand off the whole game. At Manly he was the link man between his brother and Jamie Lyon, and at Souths was the link between the halfbacks and Dylan Walker. He is not unique in his role as ball handling forward, but he is far more than a forward who can pass a bit, he's been an integral part of the attacking structure.

The Dogs aside there's no forward I can think of that plays anything like his role. Its not an offloading game, its a passing game.

I think you can see from the Aussie based posters that you have maybe missed called this one.

3 year deal with Catalans from next year.
Released from contract.

Hendrix is dead? No way!
