Can't wait to see the expression on Guasch's face during the mpg. As these middle 8 games have gone on, he's looked more and more p!ssed off with every game. Had a face like thunder during the match against Widnes.

One (Widnes supporting) journo on twitter mentioned some rumours that Catalans wouldn't even bother with the Championship if they were relegated and not actually accept/apply for membership. Proper take your ball and bat home stuff.

I would not want to see Leigh relegated as they have only been in SL for one season and in my opinion not had the time to get a SL team together that can compete with the big boys.
Catalan however have been in the lower tier for some time and i do believe that the Championship's teams will suffer with little or no away support (gate receipts) coming from a number of teams.
RFL mess in their own making

Catalan - 4th, 7th, 8th and 5th in the preceding seasons.

Your statement is simply not true

Correct, it's pretty much a one off for them and they've done nothing to deserve losing a spot in the top flight, imo.

Except appointing Steve McNamara and calling him a coach.

If Catalan loose the MPG tomorrow I don't think they will be playing in the championship next season, could be wrong, but don't think they will be

Is Guasch going to take his bat home?

Frayssinous' departure was a bit late perhaps, as the rot was in well before the new coach arrived. He seems to have curtailed their biggest flaw, which was giving away far too many penalties, but this has had the unfortunate side effect of seeming to dull their attacking flair. Hard to say if they can pick themselves up for the million quid match, but their demeanour in the last couple of games suggests not.

We made it. Don't think Thaler was a factor

No Catalans were the better side. Ref didn't come into it.
