  1. Thanks for that...I was responding to someone else's musings on the matter. I personally don't think it's a great name.
  2. What about trying something like Mercia or maybe even something which isn't specifically geographic?
  3. I've not seen loads of him to be fair. I suppose I just don't really remember seeing him stand out when i have seen him play. Happy to defer to people who've seen a lot more of him. I do hope he does well cos I really enjoy watching all of the brits in the nrl.
  4. I'm not sure he's at that level either tbh. Hope I'm wrong though.
  5. I think he's done a brilliant job at Catalan and has proved a perfect fit for that club. However, i don't think he would necessarily be able to replicate that at other clubs. I think being a Head coach especially at bigger clubs requires a certain way with people, call it charisma if you like, which frankly most of us don't have. I think in a strange sort of way being at a foreign club with the language differences almost works in his favour. It reminds me of Steve Maclaren the football coach who managed to win the Dutch league with a fairly unfancied side but who has never really cut the mustard managing sides in England even though he widely recognised as an excellent coach. So, not a great coach for me because as well as he has done at Catalan, he's not really been able to match what he's done there anywhere else.
  6. Looks like Catalan have managed to get to the playoffs with their big money players available..I reckon they'll just have enough.
  7. I know it's out of season but I'm doing a long weekend in Carcassonne in a couple of weeks. Any RL related recommendations?
  8. We need to capitalise on players like this and get them known to a wider audience over here. More internationals are an obvious solution but there must be other ways we can build on English players putting in performances like that. Superstars get attention.
  9. Paul Segueir has seemed to be playing well and has caught the eye. Its taken a long time for him to get regular gametime it seems. Anyone else? how is Sangare playing at Leeds?
  10. What's the general consensus on George williams? My impression, only having seen bits and pieces, is that he's a solid nrl performer but nothing more than that. Is he likely to stay in the nrl? I'd like to see him return and hopefully come back here a better player who can raise the standard back in SL
  11. Not sure county cricket introduced p&r to draw more people in, more to create a more competitive top tier to help the national side..it's a game played when most people are working or in education after all!
