Catalans Team Presentation

At St Cyprien last night with Reserves and Academy all involved.

[Barnaby Reddin]

I have a sneaky feeling this could be a big season for the Dragons. Not saying "silverware", but I wouldn't be shocked to see then in a final.

[Henson Park Old Firm]

They look very professional this season

[Pie tries]

Looking good !

Backed Catalan to win something for the past few seasons. With this squad, if they can improve away from home they will be a major force.

[Swansea Jack]

Maybe Michael Monaghan is now having an influence?.

In the second photo U19s the lad 2nd from left is Alrix De Costa originally from Limoux who may be back-up for Pelissier tomorrow against the Aude Cathares. He looks a solid organising type of hooker to me - promising.

 

See interestingly Taylor and Bousquet sharing a word or two on the 4th picture. Two really big men who both in their youth played in half-back positions. Its time for he FCL lad to power through in 2016. Maybe the big Aussie with skills to burn will be the catalyst that sets Julian alight. Hopefully.

They've got the squad, without doubt. As has been said, its their away form that's the issue, also keeping Todd Carney fit for the year will help massively.

The last image. A rose between two thorns! Olivier Elima and Pat Richards seperated by the lad and hope of the moment over here - Lucas Albert. The half-back played against English Schools U16 last Easter and just two months later made his Super League debut against Widnes. Tony Smith wanted to sign him for the Wire but the Carcassonne youngster was committed to the Dragons.
