It's a shame he couldn't play for them last Sunday, he may have prevented them from getting a severe pounding and a really embarrassing defeat at the hands of scintillating Salford, glad to see you've managed to return home from Moscow ok, some of us were getting alarmed for your safety

Which spine will compete with Catalans?

Only Warrington (Ratchford, Austin, Widdop, Clark) and St. Helens (Coote, Lomax, Fages, Roby) would be able to compete with it. Wigan's will not. Nor will Castleford's nor Hull FC's.

To have Samuel Tomkins and Antoine Gigot running off "Jimmy wins" will be a sight to see. Plus his field kicking and goal kicking are superb.

It is going to be a sensational season at the top of the table in 2020

And yet another season that Catalan underperform no doubt

Yes Maloney is a huge talent but time and again the new high profile player that’s brought into Catalan fails to live up to the hope..

Tomkins this season is a case in point

Any team has a better spine than Catalan because like you Bazza there Spineless. Talking of spineless we are still waiting for your input on the Salford Catalans thread.

Why are you even replying to toyboy26? He watches Leigh. He has no idea what a decent spine consists of as he’s never seen one

Re: 2019 Player Ins & Outs : Wed Jul 24, 2019 6:51 pm  

On paper, Maloney is a very good signing.
But we’ve seen plenty of good signings on paper. Whether it translates to the field is a different matter.

That's right troll face,he watches Leigh,unlike you who can't/won't attend your own club. Your all mouth.

Re: 2019 Player Ins & Outs : Wed Jul 24, 2019 10:53 pm  

I don't watch Leigh. They are boriing.

I watch the interesting clubs. That includes the clubs in the NRL where James "Jimmy Wins" Maloney plays now. I know that "Jimmy Wins" is a quality player, as Bradley Fittler can testify.
