Bloody oath, K Bentley is a great player from what I've seen of him. IMO Walters perhaps should have played him instead of Barthau in the early rounds and shuffled the line-up. The experience for Barthau will be good for him though. I would have Kane on the bench every week and TBH if I were him I'd be looking elsewhere because I could name a few SL clubs where he would be first choice. At the very least he could move to Toulouse if he doesn't get his fair share which Walters has never really given him IMO. Exactly the same thing with Baile, why he is starting centre every week is a disgrace as far as I'm concerned. Interesting that you mention the "Walters Out Drum" as I still beleive this should be the case and have since very early on despite them making the prelims last year. Their squad is one of the better SL squads yet they have been playing like a cellar-dweller team. I have said before I dont see this "better roster than anyone" stuff, i have said before some of the French guys are overrated by some fans, simply because theyre french. Baille is a good example, hes a guy who has scored a few tries and now folk seem to think hes mal menninga, at the end of the day the guys not even a centre for me, hes a second row, same with raguin. Also does ANY other club have more back rowers and centres than the dragons, they have centres on the wing (bell), centres playing at 6 (Mogg), back rowers playing in the centre, (raguin,sa) back rowers playing prop(carlaw, fakir) and back rowers even filling in at hooker (mounis). Allthough I totally agree with your comments about Kane, he is in the squad again for tommorow, should be the same line up as last week but Stacs has come in for Pelo

Round 4 due to get underway this weekend
Limoux V Leigh
Catalans V Salford
Widnes V Lezignan
St Helens V Toulouse
I will be at Widnes V FCL, hopefully they can make a decent game of it. Catalans should beat Salford but who knows. Leigh will probably have too much for Limoux but what a great day out for the Leigh fans it will be at the beautiful Stade Aguille. St Helens V Toulouse could be a massacre but lets hope TO can do better that the 98-0 they suffered against Bradford a couple back

Toulouse will have a bit of confidence heading into the Saints game. Hope they can keep it respectable.

Yeah, that about Widnes had passed my mind, Widnes in all kind of injury problems too, Jordan James on loan from crusaders is the 27th player they used this year. Lezignan have not played this weekend so will be well rested and Widnes coming off the back of the tough easter schedule.............then again I might be looking for omens and positives that arent there!! Catalans yeah, it wouldnt surprise me if the won by 50, similarly if we lost by 50

Also been thinking, and have posted on TRL (some know it all will offer their expert opinion Im sure ;D ) but i wonder about Leigh and Widnes dual registered players, they may not be availible and that would be 2 or 3 more promising player outta both those teams
