A good signing for Catalans.

Catalans will always have the huge advantage of the area and the weather when trying to sign top players from the NRL.

Is that why Hull are so good at it? Lovely area and the weather is superb.

You can hardly tell the 2 places apart when you visit them

Better grub in Hull though.

Those two defeats were our heaviest defeats of the season. They were the ONLY two games Coley played second row.

You are correct , Coley or Bailey in the second row is a no brainer.

Bailey by miles.

Bailey vrs Coley, it's not even close,Bailey is miles the better player

Both Jason's are leaving Catalans, Croker and Ryles.
Johnson could replace Croker with perhaps Fakir moving to prop.
What a pack!

I just don't see the hype around Bailey.

I'd pick Coley every single time before him as he is IMO the superior player

Not in the second row he isn't.

We should start a pole!!

For me the guy with greater speed, flexibility in playing positions on the pitch, greater leadership, 5 Ozzie caps and a heart of a lion beats a prop who hits the line at just over 0mph, is very error prone and has lost the speed he needs to dip into the 2nd row.

Added to that during a game (someone remind me) Bailey, due to injuries on the field filled in after about 20mins at prop for a game (and got MOM i think), so he might be a bit light (I have been saying for a while get a stone and a half on him and he could prop) but he tackles like a prop as well.

Bailey adds more to the team both on and off the field. Coley for me is turning into a right plodder. Maybe MM will sort that, I sincerley hope so as I want all Wigan players to perform.

Johnson's departure may now mean that Lima stays at the Storm, although we were an outside bet for his signing. He is/was probably going to Wests.

One of those two had to go so perhaps he'll now stay put.
