Brett Stewart to Catalans.


Recommended Posts


TBF I think he has lost a fair bit of pace so which was obviously a major part of his game, i'd be disappointed if Catalan sign him. They must be losing an overseas player then.

When he's been fit he's been pretty awful for Manly this year. His biggest asset (his pace) has gone but he hasn't managed to adjust his game to suit so the opposition are going round him. 

Terrible signing for Catalans if its true

I disagree with the views above, Brett Stewart is class & my prediction is Catalans will win the SL on the back of the Stewart brothers and Carney next year.

You serious?

Averages around 50m a game and misses 50% of his tackles.

With Gigot and Escaré there, it'd be pretty disappointing from an EDF point of view but assuming he's not coming for a holiday he'd definitely be good enough. 3 years does seem like a long time though.

 

With rumours Duport is on the outer, Escare going, Gigot to centre and Stewart to FB?

Please add my vote to the 'terrible signing' camp, if true.

I remember you all saying Glenn Stewart was a terrible signing before he'd played a game so I'll be sicking with my comments that Brett will be a success there as well.

Cant believe how escare has dropped so far down the pecking order he was 1 of super leagues most exciting full backs (stil is imo) a few seasons ago n now nobody wants him, ok his defense isnt the best but his attack more than makes up for it if u ask me n i think gigot made a better center than a full back.

Stewart is absolutely woeful at the minute.

A lot of full backs adjust when they lose a yard of pace but it's just exposed his other flaws more.

He had a 1 on 1 tackle with Tamaulolo v the Cowboys and dropped off like an under 8s player tackling an open age 1. He never gets anywhere near backing up when his team make breaks anymore and hasn't ever really been good under the high ball.

I reckon they will sign him though.

Meh. 

The guys on the french forums are watching videos of him that are from 2007-2008 and raving up how good he is and how good he's going to be with us. Some tried to explain them but the comments got shrugged off. 

As for Escaré dropping down... Morgan ed up but the fans are horrible with him. A lot of them cannot stand Escaré anymore but they're backing Pelissier every time. Double standards.

He was a fantastic player 5 years ago, infact he was pretty decent a couple of seasons ago.

This year he has just looked a shadow of his former self. It's happened to Jamie Lyon aswell this year and it's costing the Sea Eagles a lot of games.

If he had sense he would retire at the end of the year. But tbf if Catalans come calling with a 2 or 3 year deal and a decent wage alongside his brother you can't really blame him if he took it.

I don't really read French forums so can't comment on their attitude towards players. One thing I'd probably do with Escare is put him on the wing in defence and move him more central for attacking plays. Sort of what RTS and Minichello did for the Roosters one year. Escare is a talent he just needs to be protected properly and I'm sure he would be a major asset to any club.

Could Escaré be a 6 or a 7?

He seems to be at 6's and 7's when he's defending.

Feed him up at La Paella at Latour Bas Elne, through the off season, and get him hammering the weights. He will be a decent hooker - and the Cats need one right now!

He's already hammering the weights. Saw him frontsquat 130kg at 75kg bodyweight. 

Which is a very good performance. 

I'm not sure we can force him to gain 10kg in 4 months. It probably would be mostly fat.
