1: Why spend money on the likes of (fill in waste of space etranger's name here) and save money on the coach?
2: I hope we make our next appointment a 1 year with an option to extend, so that we can then re-approach Kear if it doesn't work.

Would it not be the case that the money spent on players will reduce if some of the etrangers go back down under, leacing more to spend on a coach?

who can we replace the aussies with without spending any money ?

Bell we replace with Vaccari. Sa we replace with JPB or re-sign Duport as a centre/wing. Carlaw we replace with any number of second row forwards, we have them coming out our ... We have a number of UTC players to bring up to the first team (Bartheau, Guash, Gigot) and a number of players to bring in from our feeder (Villegas). If we look at our current side we need to find a SO to replace Sherwin and a Hooker to replace McGuire, so that could be any one of the UTC players mentioned.

Is this a perfect opportunity to bring more French players into the Catalans first team?
Surely it would be of benefit to both France and Catalans, at least financially.
Speaking of money, has anyone heard anything about Catalans income being a lot less than they had hoped for this year?
Apparently, for this reason, the Dragons are going to switch all their games back to Gilbert Brutus.
