As much as I want Catalans to win it will be a sad indictment for us if Catalans were to win a Grand Final before us.


Even if Catalans do not win on Saturday, then you will have to ask yourself the question, who did the smart thing:

Catalans for offloading Kasiano, Drinkwater and Dudson?
or, Warrington for recruiting Kasiano, Drinkwater and Dudson?

championship semi finals were way more entertaining than the SL ones.

I've commented here similarly before, an absolute masterstroke by McNamara & Co.

In hindsight, arguably yes.
I do think there's much more to it than that.

Offloading previously effective players when they are at the top of the down slope is one of hardest things to get right in sport, and they did us up like a kipper.

We slapped ourselves with a smoked herring.
KF openly said he had a target for a halfback, and Drinkwater headed it!

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Wed Oct 11, 2023 7:23 am  
But Drinkwater was already out of Catalans plans well before we signed him. We were desperate for a scrum half and he was available . Powell described him as having all the attributes we wanted in a scrum half (everyone assumed he meant he was a very good player). The signs were there, we ignored them. Which is why I think of the 3 he was the worst signing (not the worst player though, Mr Dudson take a bow).*
*this is only in relation to Catalans ex players.
Apologies for the drift
