Why would you cry? Has been quite entertaining (unlike their team) but now become extremely repetitive. Looks like the combination of 2 new wingers and Briers is going to get them back to the top (there are a couple of more realistic posters as well).

McNamara has left Catalan.  

Now there's a thing. Wonder if there is anything to do with Sam leaving to Perth Bears (as reported not confirmed). 

Told this is to be announced next week. Burgess to Perth in 2027 is done. 

Yes, I heard that he was going as an assistant to Wayne Bennett, with Burgess taking over after2 years.

It was inevitable that Burgess would return to the NRL after his Warrington contract expired.


The situation makes it awkward for us to appoint a new 1st team coach to replace him though, with one and a half seasons to go.  It may be better for us if he leaves at the end of this season

Good luck to the lad i hope he does well! He has been honest, his long term goal was to get back over there. I personally don't think he is a huge loss when we first brought him in my initial thoughts surely he can pull a player in... That's hardly gone well IMO so maybe we lose someone who can pull a group together and that's what we have seen more of, we do look tighter as a team from academy to first team. I do think we will lose any momentum in the transfer market as it'll all be up in the air, who wants to come to a club with what will be by then a head coach leaving not sure if the first team coaching staff with be sticking about with a few players departing, just sounds like a total rebuild again. Having said all that i don't know any of this I'm just speculating on a hot day in work and tired.. and feeling glum about our performances in recent weeks.
