Coaches Quotes

Matt Peet spoke to the press ahead of Thursday’s clash, saying: “I think they’re one of the teams you expect in the Semis and in the mix.

“I know they recruit quality and I like the way they integrate French youngsters. In the past they’ve had the odd flair player in the halves or full back, but they’re producing more industrious players. I think they’ve got more players in those roles we have a lot of respect for. All the clubs who produce their own players and have the best academies win competitions. I put Catalans in that bracket now.” Read the full Peet Preview HERE.
