Samuel Tomkins, certainly, and George Williams and Thomas Leuluai probably, for Catalans (to join Michael McIlorum and Lewis Tierney).

Ryan Sutton and John Bateman for Canberra.

Looks increasingly like Catalans will be in the top 4 in 2019.

Fat head to Scotland.

Why is that? Adding some (being the key word) players from a side that's second in the league to a side that's 9th doesn't scream out top 4 to me...

No, they are just sending all there dead wood to Catalan so there new coach has the cap space to bring in some quality players. Catalan are the only club foolish enough to take them on the contracts they are wanting. MM was once okay and brought something to the table with his aggressive defense, nowadays all he brings is a thuggery and penalty after penalty - Tomkins is now just your average run of the mill full back that is happy to coast a long on a ridiculous contract (Which Catalan are happy to pay).

I agree, top four in Championship is possible.

Transition period, yes. Disintegrating, read moving on.

You need to be happy that they will be in SL first and then have someone there that can convince the squad that they aren't on holiday.
Catalan have built up decent squads in recent years but, they haven't been bothered enough about busting a gut on the field of play.

It's amazing how Catalans can fit all these players' wages in.

Williams and Leuluai aren’t leaving. We’ll happily send Catalan our cast-offs when we don’t want them Jean so you can finish 7th rather than 8th.

Williams leaving for Catalans with Leuluai possibly (not sure if Leuluai is "as well as" or "instead of") was reported in the English and French editions of League Express today.

Attendances down. Bateman and Sutton off to NRL. Both rectums gone. Williams rumoured to Catalans. Wane undermined by IL and KR and goes to Union. Lenaghan in a desparate bid for more cash by forming a "league of greedy gentlemen".

Are Wigan skint again ?
