Has anyone heard of us playing Catalans in Beziers this time round?

Nothing yet. Didn't they play Cas there last year?

It was Warrington.

I don't think so. Putting 2 and 2 together it makes sense as us and Wire take the biggest support down there and they've already played Wire in Barcelona.



Have you been to Beziers?

Catalans played Hull in Beziers mid-August.

Quote ="Odemwingie"I don't think anyone can be critisised for takng more money, it's their ">job.'" The sad thing I think about Mason, SBW et al is that they could have been remembered as greats of the game but will now, largely, be forgotten. I know they'll have fat bank balances to console themselves with, but they'd have been pretty well paid even if they'd stayed in League. Look at SBW now - does anyone know where he is and what he's doing? Does he even know what he's doing? He's certainly not burning across the sky like the meteorite he was while in the NRL. It's a sad waste of great talents that RL spent a lot of time and effort discovering and developing, and yet another price we pay for the 'equalising benefit' of the salary cap.

I've nothing against the salary cap in theory but only if it works within the constraints of the other sports and activities competing for the same pool of players.



As the Guiness Premiership clubs are finding out no/very high salary cap in the Top 14 means the French clubs can offer so much more money, same with SL and the Guiness Prem.

Well, Catalan are playing one game there in 2010 and the word is that it will be against Wigan. They are 100% not playing a game in Spain.
