You can't just rubbish 2009 because of 2010. Fact remains they were 80 minutes away from OT, under Walters.
I'm pretty sure you can!
The REAL fact is Walters took a Catalans side that was on the up and ruined them. They finished 3rd in 2008 under Potter. They squeezed in to the top 8 on the last day in 2009 and played a fairly weak team in Wakefield and an out of form Huddersfield to get to a game against Leeds.
Them two play off wins are the only thing positive you can say about Walters, as he took them to dead last the year after. 3rd to 14th in two years. And you want him to be Hull coach?! We might as well get Peter Sharpe back. He actually got us to a GF! What happened next...?
The true testament to how poor Walters was as a coach can be seen by the success of a Catalans side one year later being 5th (one point off the top 4 with two games to go). Anyone is better than Walters. Even Agar.
