Please explain to me what Catalans have won...ever??
Money for old rope, agents must be rubbing their hands when the Catalan club are on the look out, is that where your English partner lives pie town? Any player that wants to win silverware will leave France pal.

Sadly Catalans can sign all the quality players they want, but they won't win a thing until they replace their coach IMO

We only dicked you four times out of four this season, sticking 132 points past you in the process.


So who knows, the bar brawling, cop car urinating, glass smashing, sex-text pest, may just elevate you to dizzy new heights next year.
But then again.....................

Hull FC was lucky to be facing a Catalans team that was riddled with injuries to key players this year. Hopefully next year will be different.

The man you describe in such jaundiced terms has a track record at Catalans from 2009. He took a team that was very poorly coached, and lifted them to 80 minutes away from the Grand Final. We expect that next year or the year after he will be able to go one or two steps better, and get to and perhaps win the Grand Final. He is an inspirational leader, so if Richard Myler, Paul Aiton, Krisnan Inu, Anthony Gigot, Jodie Broughton and Fouad Yaha are all fit, the team has the capacity to win games against the best of Super League.

Nowt wrong with a bit of hyperbilinrubinemia.


Get your man to shave that slug off his top lip as well, cos William Clark Gable, he aint.

Jean is a clown.

Nah, a clown is often funny and humorous... Jean "Crapdozey" is neither, just a rather monotonous annoying twonk.....that's why he's on my ignore list, just wish admin could sort it so that his posts don't even appear when someone quotes them.......

So you are telling us that you have seen Gregory Bird's birth certificate? How did that happen?

Because his full name is on his passport which he needed to get in the UK, you work the rest out.

Oh and youre passport name hasto match your birth certificate.

Get out of that one.

Jean - Vasty is the chief immigration control officer at Manchester Airport. You know - a bit like the one in the BBC comedy "come fly with me". He's called Ian Foot (played by David Walliams) here is a link :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S2wWVGprMQ

It doesn't !

Catalan will win the GF next season

Catalan will win the Challenge cup next season

Greg/Gregory Bird will be the divine saviour

Jean Capdouze is really French and living in France

Should keep him happy for a while

There is always one and it's usually a Leigh fan. It certainly does now think about what's different between his passport and yours.

I'll check up on the EU passports but I'm fairly sure you do.

I don't work at an airport why would you think that - really annoying you know isn't it

Mine doesn't. I choose to spell my given name differently from the way it was registered at birth, i.e. how it appears on my birth certificate. When I applied for my first passport I wrote an accompanying letter explaining my preference, this was accepted by the passport authorities and my preferred spelling has appeared on all my passports since. This has saved me a lot of hassle from people telling me how I should spell my given name, as I just use my passport as evidence rather than my birth certificate.

I'll say it again, what's different about Birds passport and yours...

Hell I'll tell you, yiur's is an EU passport (for now) his is an Australian passport. I have the right to dual nationality and although I use my full birth certificate name on my EU when I looked t getting an Aussie passport it was a stipulation that the name on the passport matched that on your Birth Certificate to avoid confusion. I have the application in front of me now though I concede it's about 8 years old.

Either way I know his neme is Greg not Gregory because that's what he said.

When did he say that? And did he specify that his name was not Gregory.

And how can we rely on your memory when you refer to "yiur's" and "neme."

Because "tigerade" said you were chief immigration officer at Manchester International Airport. He was suggesting that you vet passports. He must have been lying then.

For those who accused me of thinking that Gregory Bird will be a "saviour" for the Catalans, who can win silverware on his own, I say that I recognise that rugby league is a team game, and any one star needs a powerful team to support him. Johnathan Thurston has such a strong team at North Queenslnd. Catalans still has to plug a couple of holes in its roster if it is to become a champion team.

Most particularly the number 6 shirt has to be filled not by an 18 year old potential star, Lucas Albert, but by an established mature talent. Todd Carney was supposed to perform that role, but between injuries and off field misbehaviour, he failed to realise expectations. I would hope that Thomas Bosc could wear the number 6 shirt until Lucas Albert is a little more mature, or else another talent can be found Down Under. Lucas Albert should be ready to shine as an exceptional talent in a couple of years.

No. It doesn't.

Just for starters, that would mean no passport would be able to carry the married name of a woman but would have to bear her maiden name.

And then there's the issue of legally changing your name.

Now, this has all become a tad stupid and off topic, so it's being locked.

I suggest that you all read a soon-to-be-posted sticky at the top of this forum.
