McNamara won't go. Still had 3 years on his contract, would cost us too much.

If he doesn't go soon it's going to cost a million pounds in September.

We fired Taylor, Carney, Mason, Frayssinous and his staff. All under contract. Out of money? 

[DavidM]

Theyll probably keep SM as he’s a qualifiers specialist .

Garbage from Shaul at the end. Just garbage from Catalans from highlights

I was in the South stand and it looked forward even from there, but then when they showed the replay on the screen I thought it looked ok. I think Talanoa stooping forward to catch it made it look worse than it was.

Catalans last try was a strange one. Shaul held him up over the line and someone else came in to help, then there was what seemed like an hour (more likely 5 or 6 seconds) of wrestling and rolling about on the floor until he finally spun away from Shaul and put it down. I dont think I have ever seen a player allowed so much time to get it down.

On the game itself. Catalans have real issues. Hull bombed chances, made basic errors in exit sets, and just generally looked a bit sloppy and disjointed, and yet racked up 42 points. I dont really know where they go from here.

Which Shaul bit are you referring to? He had a mixed night.

If Guasch wants a club next year then he needs to pay because sticking with McNamara means the end of Catalans in Super League.
