Reportedly linking up with Harlequins next season according to French Federation site

Our ultimate insult to our hated rivals?

I'd swap coaches with them yesterday! It would deffo scupper their season!

Slippery move from Cats.

Boot him as far away as it is possible to get him.

Today he announced to team that he's off at seasons end

Any idea on his succesor? Will any of the players follow him out of the club?

Fingers crossed Bell follows him out.

He only signed for a season

So why has he stayed for two then? do we get this year for free?

So this season is basically being written off then.

This is a clever move by Walters, gets him through his contract. Hope he takes his mickeyhead Aussie chums back with him.

On the plus side, the club can be transparent about their recruitment now without compromising Walters or being seen to undermining him.

Steve Bell might apply!

Sorry, what I meant was, hes only signed till end of season

Well at least we know and at least we know it will soon be over, unless there is a late season recovery and run to the play-offs.

The statement from Gausch was spot on. He has had some bad luck this season but he still has to turn it round and get us off the bottom of the table and as far as possible in the cup.

Are we getting LMS as a trade, or is he moving with Brian to Bradford?

Trent Robinson, who played in France back in the day, has apparently emerged as a leading contender. He's currently Brian Smith's assistant at the Chooks

Great, another Smith disciple to enlighten everyone else on how to play the game. Remind me again how many titles Brian Smith has won.

I hope Trent doesn't bring the same slap happy attitude to contracts that his mentor has (I don't think Brian Smith has ever finished a contract).

What's wrong with giving the head coaches job to Laurent, he's passionate about the club and speaks both languages as well as being a great fella.

The club need to develop their own and they will see the benefit for years to come.

yeh,totally agree but that would be TOO easy,wouldn't it ?

Dragons do seem obsessed with doing it the most difficult way.

Thought about this myself, I figure that the best thing for Catalans is to put Walters on gardening leave once we are out of the cup and let LF take charge until the end of the year. He may not prove SL coach worthy but it would be good development for him, might make him ready by 2013

Great idea, though you should have said "once we've won the cup".

I firmly believe that Kevin deserves to finish his time on a high, he has always been polite in the face of great adversity and given the tough times he's had in his life i'd love it if the boys could give him an appropriate send off at Wembley.

LF may prove himself to be ready now, we are guaranteed a new 3 year licence and he should be allowed to grow into the role.

Bobbie Goulding will be Catalans coach next season.

Is that a guess or do you know?

This poster has no idea about anything to do with RL, he doesn't even have a clue about the team he claims to support (probably because he is a troll from Nottingham). If Goulding ends up as coach of Catalans it will just be a coincidence
