Hi, I am looking at taking my boys to the Catalan Dragons away game in March, struggling to find cheap, direct flights. Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Lee

Lee I've booked to fly from Manchester to Barcelona. Fly on the Thursday and come back Monday only £67. You can get train or coach to Perpignan easy enough and Barca is a far better place than Perpignan obviously.

Girona (barca) is closer to french border and cheap flights to Girona on a few budget airlines. car hire relatively inexpensive drive to France. check out Norwegian airlines, great airline and again inexpensive.

Got the weekend booked in Barca near Nou camp any ideas on transport to game, not been before

The train takes a couple of hours but book before travelling as it can be expensive on the day or the coach takes about 3.5 hours but is a lot cheaper. Barcelona is a mega city if you have never been before.

Thanks for the reply Marty

Struggling to find any.

Anyone booked?

Yeah I've booked flight to Barca Thurs to Monday £67 Can't go wrong.

Mmmmm, seems Barcelona is the best option. Just with the kids at school cant really go any other time than Fri to Sun.

I know someone who has booked Fri to Mon from Liverpool to Barca. It's easy enough to get there from Barca.

Three of us in Barca, flying with Jet2 Fri to Mon

Answers on a post card for this one.

Start as you mean to go on. Stop pishing about with the captaincy, sort it out. It was ridiculous when we appointed McGuire after Sinfield finished, it was even worse when we then gave it to Watkins. To have utter self appreciating players like Ferres filling in, is nonsense.

Merrin was brought over as a leader, and he looks the only player capable. So make that change as a starter this week, and say this is the way we go on.

Why was it ridiculous to appoint Danny , Ferris i agree with bells on !

Because he never was right for it. The rot started the minute Sinfield went, and we never got the important role right.

Reason why he was not right for it ?

Mcguire was fine as a Captain, he hardly played in 2016 and we ended up in the middle 8s he played far more in 2017 and we won the title.

Anyway who the captain is is way down on the list of problems, it seems this team cannot go through a full game without seitching off at crucial times we need to sort that out and fast. Furner must be tearing his hair out

I’m going for a Leeds win for this one.

Walker
Handley
Hurrell
Newman
Briscoe
Mclellend
Myler
Petaru
Dwyer
Oledzski
Cam Smith
Donaldson
Merrin(capt)

Walters
Tui
Holroyd
Dupree.

Wont happen but should.

The feeling I have now came a bit later .I couldn't predict a win at all .I dont know when the next win is going to come

Hopefully, Watkins will be back for this, and Cam Smith will get a game.

Just out of interest what makes you believe we will win this? I know Cats got pumped by Salford but they are usually hard to beat at home otherwise and will see us as a big opportunity to get two points on the board. They have a big pack which we will struggle to neutralise with our powder puff lot and we tend to always have a tough time over there even in the good days.

Can't see anything but a Cats win and best we can hope for here is keeping it close.

I was always a big fan of McGuire the player, and he was brilliant in his last few games for us. That’s one reason we were champions in 2017. However I never rated him as a captain - he spent far too much time arguing with referees instead of organising the team. In similar vein, Ferres is too preoccupied with sniping at opponents. Watkins is a great player, but doesn’t seem to lead (although sets a good example). So maybe it should be Merrin...

I'd drop Myler for McClelland before Tui

Tui needs to stop playing until he gets fit. He looks a stone plus overweight, and he's slow as well. Ridiculous given speed was one of his strengths when he started.
