Hi All.

After the way you ended last season i thought you would start 2010 like a house on fire.
Have the performances matched the results.
I know you have a few players missing at the moment.

As an outsider looking in not having Bosc in the side will be a massive loss to your gameplan.
When is he due back.

I still reckon you will make the Top 4 when you start firing.

Up to two more weeks.

Looking at the league, I still think Leeds are the form horse and that Salford and Crusaders will be the bottom two, but there's precious little between the rest. Results like the ones we've had shouldn't perturb us too much, but the performance on Sunday was poor unlike the week before and that's a worry

Take sean long out of hull or briers out of warrington, bosc is one of a few world class playmakers who indeed could cut it on the nrl. His absence is going to affect catalans, that said they should be performing better.
But it is in the back of my mind they have perfromed quite well for 4 seasons now and with teams improving, there may struggle to make 8 if they don't perfrom to there best.
The way i see it if bosc is injuried mogg makeshift 6 or mcguire does not know what he is now cannot step up this is why young bathau has been bloodied. I would love to see mogg shifted to the centres when bosc is back, and sa to backrow his offloading would cause more havoc in middle of ruck.
They need to look at starting fakir or carlaw up front to mix things a little, simply put bell is a waste of import dollars.

I think its been established over the last few years that the team performs better with Mogg an Bosc at half back. Casey and Bosc is a combination that didn't really work. Should Bosc be out again I think Mogg and Casey to play half back and Bentley at 9 is the best options available.
