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.

Thornley confirmed

Yes I like that signing. Great depth and consistent, honest and hard-working player.

The club can also confirm that Head of Strength and Conditioning Fred Marcerou, his assistant Benoit Albert and Football Manager Sébastien Raguin have also left the club to give a new orientation to their respective career. The club would like to wish them all the best for the future.
There will be no further comment issued by Catalans Dragons on this matter.
