The Dragons will lose.

very prophetic statement but would you care to put some flesh on the bones ?

how can the Dragons be 'misfiring' as you put it as they haven't even started yet !

Got it covered. Thanks to DAIHAPPY

No, I would not.

seems a pretty pointless statement then don't you think ?

No they won't. Jinx. No comebacks.

Life is pointless. We are worthless. It is not until you have lost everything that you are free.

you sound like Eric Cantona !

Him or Paul Cullen

yeh,the kind of person that talks a lot but says nothing..........

Why not? Too busy munching pie and mash and listening to chas and dave I'd imagine.

what are you on pal ?

Darkness and sorrow...

And the Dragons lost.

yes and they are even worse than last season - they are doomed....................

at least it will save the freight charges for the wooden spoon to be sent to the uk cos' the Catalans are going to be keeping it for another year...

probably the worst french SL side ever

time to open another bottle ...

ps - well played Quins

I wouldn't go that far. They were a lot better than last season, they at least showed heart in this game. Dureau was AWFUL though, it's clear why he was hated by Newcastle fans. I thought Catalans were actually pretty unlucky, they were the better side but just couldn't find a way over the line, largely due to the ineptitude of Dureau. When Bosc returns to parter Gigot I think the team will go ok.

I thought we were abysmal, shocking, only Casty and Paea were worth noting for me.

we were awful - the sort of performace where TR will find it difficult to find positives - Dureau doesn't belong in SL,maybe TO level at best - discipline was appalling as usual with Jamel & David - even Clint didn't look happy. The whole tempo was far too pedestrian with an alarming lack of urgency until the last ten minutes - just imagine what a half decent team will do to them ? just a bunch of overpaid prima-donnas.
Their attitude was disgraceful - i'll take the trouble and expense to do the 1100km round trip for the Wakey game - but if the attitude and performance (not result) is the same they will not be seeing my custom again.

Why did we let Sherwin go ? old man that he was ! conversely Pelissier would have brought some pace and quick thinking to that bunch of old women...

yours disgracefully.....

draft in Nathan Wynn quickly - he's a different class to Dureau...

There were some positives. Paea was excellent and Gigot went ok considering his age and lack of experience. The team seemed to be lacking a leader though, I didn't see who led the team out but most of the talking on the pitch seemed to be coming from Guisset as he ran on with the water.

Definitely the worst display of the day, luckily it was Quins & not Wigan!!

Can somebody please tell Guasch that Baille is not a hooker & that he should stop insisting he plays there!

Exactement Sanj, easily the best half in France, Dragons included!

Yes, sorry i forgot to metion I thought Hendo did ok when he came on, gave us the go forward a proper hooker should. at one point, I saw Baile and Blanch BOTH stood at acting half, neither guy talking, you cant help but think that wouldnt have happened with hendo on, not a jot from Jean-Phi though.

We also keep saying the lads not a hooker, well for me he isnt a centre either, or a winger, christ knows what he is. I think he still needs to find his best position

maybe he can make the half-time cupper ?
