yeah agree with that



kevin walters has done so much damage to the club. but still if the clubs roots are that weak they cant handle one bad coach.



very disappointing theyve signed another unknown coach

ive heard auckland also is good at RL too.

Why should not Perpignan council be involved , as the club generates quite a bit of cash for the region ?

?



Has anyone suggested that the mairie should stop its involvement?

If league status was based primarily on onfield performance, Wakey would not have anything to worry about as we have for the last 3 years done well in an area which in sport should be the key.



I hate it when Giants fans get all condescending about other clubs when the truth is if KD wasn't bankrolling the cheap season tickets and you hadn't got lucky with HTFC primarily the reason for getting the McAlpine you would have crowds on a par with ours and be playing in a ground worse than ours.



If Wakey could afford to put together the team you have we would get bigger crowds than you are now without any subsidised tickets

but for that seriously rich man huddersfield would still be playing in front of 250 people with a derby against hunslet.

True: Pelo and Fakir off to union on 10 times the salary.

True: McGuire & Bell off contract and not renewed, possibly Walker to leave due to injury.

True: Elima, Ferriol and Guisset at the end of contract and talks not resolved.

Possible: Greenshields targeted by some other club due to being the best FB in SL and possibly the whole Northern Hemisphere.

True: Gates have been lower this year than last.



This does not either support the possibility that the Catalans are in financial crisis nor explain away that they aren't. It would be good to know the scope of the problem if there is one. The bottom line is that of the known departing players only Pelo is a serious loss, others are good but their time has past or they are replaceable. We could further cut our running costs by dropping Carlaw and Sherwin without greatly damaging our on-field success. In fact, we could possibly discuss selling Johnson as we have a decent LF to take his place.

....and ours (bar the final year)?

No really Saddened. Please give us an answer. Tell us what was wrong with our period in Super League, given that P&R were in place and some teams HAD to be relegated. Come on, give us a laugh

This is the biggest problem that any French club is going to have trying to establish itself at the top level of RL in SL



Any quality players produced by Catalans or even Toulouse are going to be poached by the French RU clubs with big money offers



Very difficult situation

the same is true of english players and english SL clubs



at least les cats provide a pathway now.



reviving the game in france is going to take time

Which RL Clubs arn't in financial problems, Widnes went bust a few years ago, points deductions at Rochdale Keighley and Gateshead, Whitehaven a whisker away from a CVA, Salford had to have an emergency loan this year off the local council, Wakey and Cas haven't got the money between them to build a garden shed nevermind a new stadium, Blackpool couldn't pay the players wages last month and had to get bailed out by a director, in fact there's a tiny minority of clubs that just about break even. The only club that constantly lives within it's means is London Skolars that's why they are last every year!
