21 year old hooker Alrix da Costa, one of the most underrated players in Super League, has just signed a two year contract with Catalans Dragons. He has been an apprentice to and replacement for the masterful Michael McIlorum.

Joshua Drinkwater, James Greenwood & Christopher Atkin all confirmed to be leaving Hull KR at the end of the season. Christopher Atkin almost immediately after announced as a Salford player from next year.

Rumours persist that Joshua Drinkwater will be returning to Catalans for the 2020 season, to replace the shockingly incapable Matthew Smith, and to join forces with the incredibly talented and esteemed James Maloney.

Is it McNamara's fault though?
Will he still be head coach in 2020?
Catalans always seems to be a holiday haven for players that like the easy life and a good lifestyle,But unfortunately it is always the coach that gets the boot

Didn't Greg Bird's contract offer him a coaching role once he retired as a player
Have the players decided that they want Greg Bird in a more prominent role within the club?

Re: Player Ins and Outs : Thu Sep 05, 2019 3:45 pm  

I think they will want him in a coaching capacity, specialising in theatrics

Re: Player Ins and Outs : Thu Sep 05, 2019 5:25 pm  

I think the title is Artistic Director.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Shaun Wane as Catalan coach.

Re: Player Ins and Outs : Thu Sep 05, 2019 5:52 pm  

Guasch has publicly stated that players are the issue and defended their coach, slagging off Gigot in particular in the process and said they rely too much on Tomkins and McIlorum.

I think McNamara will stay and they will overhaul the squad over the off season and weed out all of the bad apples.

Pauli Pauli to Salford. Confirmed.
