As it says on the tin. What would be your preference on Saturday?

As someone who enjoys a yearly weekend in the South of France it's a no brainer for me - plenty of like for like Lancashire towns to visit !!

Allez Les Dragons !!!

Best for the game-Catalans stay up

Best for me (for a weekend away)-Catalans stay up

Leigh will win comfortably imo though. The Catalans team don't look to have any fight in them.

Has Cokey voted 4 times?

Given the choice between a weekend in the South of France, or a day trip to a suburb of Wigan I think I'd choose Catalans

I voted Catalans mainly cos they have bigger attendances, wider spread for the league, Perpignon is more interesting and generally nicer than Leigh.

However, I will say there is two sides to this. I want Catalans to stay up for the reasons I have said however I kind of want Leigh to stay up so that it is a different team going down. You know that if Leigh went down people would be saying that yes there is promotion/relegation but it just involved the two same teams as it did last year.

catalan, even though i wont be going next season if they stay up, nothing against leigh or their fans but SL will be less attractive without them

Catalan for sure. Nothing against Leigh but super league is worse off without a French team in it.

Does the out come of this poll determine what colour shades the ref wears

Maybe thats part of the problem , the ' French ' team had 1 more French man in its starting 13 last weekend than the team from Lancashire

Leigh,

Partly because I want to see what SL do if Catalans do go done. Mainly because I think that they need to reorganise, get rid of the dead wood. And give them something to aim for as a club. As at the moment they are just drifting and papering over the problems the club has.

Quite simply , Catalans has become a holiday venue for both Souther hemisphere and English players , time for a French ' revolution ' , become a truly home country team

I genuinely thought they were doing that when they had a spine of Escare/Gigot, Bosc, Walsh (granted not French), Pelissier, Mounis/Baitieri. They still have a lot of decent French players there, just need to get rid of the 'foreigners' and try build a truly French team with maybe 2-3 additions from elsewhere.

To be fair they may be the best team to get players from QLD and NSW cup, warm weather (mostly), exotic location, almost like home for them.

I could be wrong, but weren't there better years when they had more local players in the team? They were certainly more attractive to watch.

I don't think it's the players there attractin, but for whatever reason they just don't seem to perform when they're over there. So I feel that you're right about this. But also that the club itself seems to have lost it's direction and purpose.

I think that Leigh will beat Catalan on their own patch and if so, they will deservedly keep their spot in SL.
Catalan under Laurent Frayssinous were utterly disappointing and Greg Bird as a marque player, even more so.
However, is SL actualy SL without a French club and whilst I enjoyed Wakefield's trip to Leigh, Perpignan it's the best weekend trip no the calendar so, I'm hoping that Les Cats win.

Leigh for me.

Catalan. Need them in super league.

The only negative is McNamara may keep his his job if the stay up. His a total fraud!!!

Apart from an annual weekend away what do Catalan bring to Super league?
They bring no support to away games, Catalan at home is always a flat game without atmosphere. At least Leigh fans are vocal and create some banter on the Western Terrace.
Catalan relegated and another negative on McBanana's CV
Leigh for me!

The supporters and away games is an easy target - some club's fans are hardly traveling in their thousands over the Pennines.

They have higher attendances than some heritage SL clubs and seem to have a good business model. You could also argue what do teams like Widnes and Salford currently do for Super League?

Catalans, give the league a French presence. Have very good crowds even when they aren't performing well. And generally is the only place for the French to develop, we have seen France grow stronger as an international side.

But my main reason is the slim chance that if Leigh go down we might keep hold of Ryan for another season!

Do go on...

100% correct ant.

Both. Widnes should have gone down.

However, purely based on performances recently (in the same way Widnes survived, Leigh should stay up. Cats look like they are trying to get relegated.

Huddersfield dont bring any fans either, or wakefield so do you want them kicked out too?
