In the longer-term - Sutton to Loose Forward perhaps? He's got good passing skills (needs to work on ball retention when going forward) but has the build and skill to eventually replace SOL.

<t>Really ugly first 20 minutes. Catalans forgot everything that won them matches and went back to the old Cats - laying on - fouling - minor thuggery. It basically lost them the match.<br/> I thought apart from that opening 20 minutes when we fancied a punch-up and the inevitable start of the secon...

I think you'll find SOL was inviting him to a slap-up dinner afterwards with some of the sponsor's Mushy Peas thrown in.

<t>He didn't have the best start to the season (but was definitely not alone in the respect) and has now come back to very good form.

<t>Agree with everyone about the performance. Like to particularly pick out a player who I've been critical of - Greg Burke - played a blinder. Ben Flower is crucial to our success and Dom Crosby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hyper-extend your elbow - come back on and be immense - truly wonderful.<br/> And if any...

Agreed - decent ref and best of the 'old guard.'. Good job there's no Video ref - match should be over before midnight!

<r><QUOTE author="Exiled Wiganer"><s>[quote="Exiled Wiganer"]</s>I just don't see how it can be argued that Gilart isn't being brought on very well by the club.
