Can Catalans make the top four? : Sun May 24, 2015 5:18 am  

Based upon yesterday's performance the answer would have to be yes.

The game against Huddersfield next weekend will be decisive. If Todd Carney, Scott Dureau, John Zebolon Ta'ia and Morgan Escare are all fit, then I would imagine that Catalans will dispose of Brough dependent Huddersfield quite comfortably. Note that Catalans have been playing without centre-winger combination of Benjamin Pomeroy and Vincent Duport for several weeks now. But Mouad Yaha has been a revelation on the left wing, and Anthony Gigot has been a remarkable performer in the centre.

Catalans now has the best spine in Super League. It is up to the Catalans pack to lay the foundations for the spine's dictation of supremacy against all opponents.

Yep they can but it will not be decided this, the next or the weekend after that.Still the super 8's to come.

And fawn away as much as you like over a decent home win against an off Wigan side, there isn't a chance in hell this Catalans side will be making OT this year.

For all Catalans were good, Wigan were very poor

yes they can make the top 4, but its a way to go yet
that said I would rather the giants were playing someone else this weekend

I don' t think they will make the top 4.

Leeds are pretty nailed on for a top 4 spot, Can't see Catalan winning enough on the road to get past Saints and Wigan.

I would imagine Warrington will turn them over in a couple of weeks putting some separation between them and Catalan.

The cats are good enough but it will depend not only depend on their away form but on the likes of HKR, Hull FC, Widnes, Cas & Salford who will upset a few of the top 4 in the run in, 8 points diference from 3rd to 11th an awfull lot to play for in the next 5 or 6 weeks.

Wigan don't play like that every week. And neither do Catalans.

And what bewareshadows said.

I dont see us making it. We have had too bad a start I think.

For every drubbing of a Wigan at home there has been a dire performance like Wigan away.

Some consistency and a run to the play offs would do me nicely.

Need to win away to make the top 4. Could also do with being in the top 4 after the 23 Round split and therefore have 4 home/3 away games to finish the season. Again it would require them to win at least one (if not two) of their remaining 4 away games to make that.
