This year's squad is stronger than last year's, on paper at least, with the addition of Ryles and Bell. It should have cruised into a top four position. Yet the club is losing games in the last few minutes --- a sign of poor concentration in defence.

The club hired as its coach Kevin Walters -- a man with no previous experience as head coach of a SL or NRL club. And he is allowed to bring with him a Brisbane Broncos reject as the crucial scrum half.

The sooner that Graham Murray is called in to pick up the pieces, the better for Les Catalans' on field performance.

I agree. Walters is there for a paid holiday, once he's sacked he will no doubt criticise Super League. He has taken them from being a top 3 side to a bottom 3 side in a couple of months. Stupid appointment.

I just hope they show him the door before the shocking on field performances ruin the tremendous work done so far.

Castleford 14 V 21 Catalans
Catalans 20 V 24 Hull KR
Leeds 34 V 6 Catalans
Warrington 38 V 18 Catalans
Catalans 18 V 20 Bradford

1 win in 5. Thats was with a coach who had been there for 2 years. They go on to finish 3rd.

How about these facts.

Last year they played Leeds, this year they haven't played either of the big two yet.
Last year they beat Cas at Cas, this year they lost to Cas in Perpignan
Last year they lost to a good Bradford side, this year they lost to a cack Bradford side that had not won a game
This year their only win has been against the worst team in the comp and they still only played welll for half an hour.
And all with a better squad than last year.

Don't remember anyone rating Bradford too highly last year.

Yeah, Cas this year are the same as Cas last year...

And even if we were to accept your arguments, five games is a ludicrous number to judge a coach on.

Thats not a "Fact". Thats your subjective judgment.

This "Good" 2008 Bradford side had 2 points from 4 games last year. This "Cack" Bradford 2009 Bradford side had 1 point from 4 games this year.

So in your judgment the difference between "Good" and "Cack" is 1 point.

I don't think we need to worry ourselves overmuch over your opinions based on that, do we?
