I think Morgan has suffered from not being able to back up that first season.

Also once people got into him for being a bad defender he stopped being as good going forward.

And when he played we werent using him properly. He was devastating at pushing with offloads and also being the last link runner round the back

I feel that it is unfair to tell you the identity of my sources,but I am very confident of their veracity, and I shall say that they were not just "ordinary fans." They lump Escare with Carney and Taylor.They say "no more Australians" .New Zealanders,Islanders and Brits are not Australians. My opinion is that Escare's defence was bad in 2014,2015 and 2016. Most of his successful attacks came on the left flank,often feeding off Taia, and our opposition got wise.My sources ,however, are of the view that Escare was physically unfit this year As I said before Escare was our best player in his last match for the club and by the end of the season I wanted Gigot at centre and Escare at full back ,because Garcia was playing so badly.The thing I find hard to accept is that the club is going to pay 2 years salary to get three players,one of whom has been outstanding this year,off the books.I also think that 18 Frenchmen good enough for superleague do not exist and will not exist in 2020.Indeed Casty Bosc Duport and probably Baitieri will be gone by then.

Who asked for your sources Catalanglais?

Why would Todd Carney be leaving? St George-Illawarra cannot sign him because the NRL won't allow it. He would seem to have no other option than Catalans.

There are alleged off the field reasons behind it Jean.

Lewis claimed that my sources are "talking rubbish".I have talked to many people over the years to whom that judgement is applicable.These are not among them.So while Lewis did not directly ask for my sources his denigration of them gave me,I think, the right to defend them .I hope this is equitable.

We seem to be after Iain Thornley -good ,but injury prone and Ken Sio of H.K.R. Wigan are also after Sio. Sio is Australian so ---------we shall see

All I am saying is that catalans now seem to not be recruiting 'naughty' or 'ill-disciplined' players. What country they are from is irrelevant.

I'd be happy with sio and or thornley. Both very good players.

So much for what I said about "no more Australians". He is 32,though his birthday was last week . Are we paying too much? Will he be a marque signing Mea Culpa

Alex Chan, football manager.

I absolutely adore Alex Chan

He will 100% be marquee on that salary. 5 years is a very very long time but i assume the last 2 are more for the coaching side of thins from how the article is worded.

But great player last year, still Aus and NSW standard so have to be happy with that

The last two are entirely for the coaching side of things?

is that a statement or are you asking me? haha

I was saying I am not sure but it seems that the last 2 years are possibly for coaching and not playing

No, it was a statement. It's a three year playing deal with two years coaching.

Ah right sound. Cheers for clarifying

orate fellas

aye. You?

Does anyone know why the club has not announced or confirmed he departure of Carney and Taylor?

I don't... the local media seemed very vocal in saying they were gone.
