They will probably still end up in the lower end of the play-offs, 6th-8th, they might be dissapointed with that after last year, but I think that would be a decent start to Walters coaching career

I just saw some heroic defence and ultimately taking your opportunities saving a match, by a team who have had more than their fair share of bad luck especially from Vidrefs.

The club hired as its coach Kevin Walters -- a man with no previous experience as head coach of a SL or NRL club. And he is allowed to bring with him a Brisbane Broncos reject as the crucial scrum half.

The sooner that Graham Murray is called in to pick up the pieces, the better for Les Catalans' on field performance.
