After panicking last June and wanting him out, I felt somewhat chumpish when it came to the play offs and we went on that run.

The fixtures and injuries haven't helped, we can turn it round.

The fixtures have hardly been unkind, all three are games that you would have really been disappointed to lose at the start of the season. Regardless of last year's run, the general level of performance has been well down since Walters took over, with a better squad available on paper, and as mentioned this is not a result of bringing through juniors. Conceding 40 points at home is unacceptable for a team that should really be looking to challenge for the title, and the discipline at the moment is shocking.

The number of players involved in the 4N is a big hindrance to the club. The other clubs got off lightly this time with only 4 or 5 players affected at the most.

I think thats got to have a huge impact myself

Indeed, though rather than blame the Four Nations, I'll blame the frankly ridiculous timing of the start of the new season.

Yeah, this "summer" rugby is pretty ridiculous. Its been an issue for a lot of clubs but i feel with so many international reps the problem has been magnified for ourselves.

last night may relight this thread I suspect

umm, no it was you that bumped it !

My sources say that defeat at Salford and he's outta there.

And Bobby Goulding in

And Bobby Goulding in

Will you be there Twittering John? I will be on my stag party this weekend...

are you being serious phil?

Marv, I'm always serious!

would be a surprise after the way his 4-nations ended though wouldnt it?

I will.

Guash, Goulding, neither could be worse than Walters surely? Frankly, John_D for coach, why not?

They'd never match my terms

Allez Jeanno!!!

Better squad selection than walters, and since Guash is responsible for all the best foreign signings I can only see an improvement.

I see your Guasch is responsible for all the best foreign signings and raise you Steven Bell.

If we win owt this year I will happily come back here and eat my words. In the meantime can someone pm me when Walters is fired.

Can you please keep Walters until we have played you . Thank You.


Seriously though something is going wrong ( apart from injuries) you should not be losing the way you have.

RL needs a strong Catalans. Get it sorted.

There may be nothing in this, but Gausch was supposed to be appearing on radio phone in this evening and didn't show so the programme was cancelled.

The reason the station gave was that he was meeting with the coaching staff.

Now that might just be a post-mortem on the game, it might be a Guasch style hair-drying to them or...it just might be something more significant with regard to Walters position.

Just as a response to some of the other posts on here, Bobby Goulding is a hero in France and the Catalans supporters I know would welcome him with open arms. Unfortuntely over here, he falls into the same catagory as Shaun Ainscough does as a player, no matter what he does, no one will credit him for it. Oh yeah, and in French RL they like firey personalities.
