damp squib Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 No stand offs on the market. Panic buy. Yep pretty much this. Probably also with a view to him covering the position for a year and then Lucas Albert stepping up in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleD Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Who's going to play stand off then, as don't see Myler as one? Bosc seems the only one but doesn't get much game time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowdesert Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Who's going to play stand off then, as don't see Myler as one? Bosc seems the only one but doesn't get much game time Myler was just starting to play again at the back end of last season. Looked good. Think they've backed themselves into a corner.

Hvy wg Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Luke Walsh is going to play at 7, Myler at 6, Albert as back up and Bosc at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C H Calthrop Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Pity he's a scrum half... agree with the panic buy. Walsh is scared of being tackled and isn't the same player since he broke his leg. True, very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Evans Thigh Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Same position, half either side. Terrible signing, can see Catalan in the bottom 4 next year unless Greg Bird drags them up by himself. Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

Hvy wg Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 He's being sold to the fans as a huge signing but I think any regular SL watcher knows he's there to "make the numbers". We needed a half and a kicker. Market was empty, it was either him or Hastings. One year deal for Walsh means one more year training before Albert gets a starting spot.

Southerner Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Decent signing, only committed to wages for one year. Can be brilliant on his day. Sensible business for once from Catalans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Toppy Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 What a complete a**hole of a player ! Saints actually offered him a new contract months ago but he categorically told the club he wanted to go back to Aus. with him family. Now he ends up signing for another SL club. To be honest I'm not that bothered that Saints didn't keep him. His poor injury record, his reluctance to tackle people and him going missing in most big games have seen him be something of a huge disappointment over the last 3 years, but I am peed off with the way he's handled himself over leaving the club.

Oxford Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yeah he tended to get the blame when it went wrong at Saints cos every time he played the other 12 on the pitch were brilliant! 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfred Mann Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 It does seem like a frantic signing, after the flop performance and subsequent release of Todd Carney. But what were the alternative options? Greg Bird will do a lot for the team. But I would have liked to have seen him helped by a more impressive forward signing than Luke Burgess.

goldcoaster Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Catalans were brought into SL to boost French RL and make the national team competitive. Under Potter and Robinson this was on the right track, but under Frayssinous the club has become a dumping ground for 2nd rate Aussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBR Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Nonsense, plenty of players now in SL who came through the ranks at Catalan. Why should they risk being relegated or losing fans through mid table finishes by playing French players who are not good enough. When other teams only select players born within a 10 mile radius, then I'll agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of your guys were formed at Gold Coast? How would a national "Gold Coast" team fare? There are more French players in SL than ever before, they're just not playing at Catalans and from a certain point of view this is a good thing. If we do get relegated, there would still be 10 French players in SL instead of none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
