Was chatting to a mate at Wembley on Saturday and he was telling me he has it on good authority that we are trying to sign David Ferriol from Catalans for 2012 season.

If its true, I think he would be a very good signing for us and would definately add a bit of bite to our front row. Has anybody else heard anything about this?

OOH LA LA Would love to see him in the Red Vee, gives lots of penalties away but gives em great go forward.
Great player but can't see Catalans letting him go?

Would be an outstanding signing. But we don't make signings like this.

(But you would all no doubt want Scott Moore back once you see Ferriol's love for a penalty).

Ou est le papier?

More announcements to follow, please?

That will keep the speculators busy during the off season. lol

Can we announce that further announcements by fans are bound to follow hot on this announcement.

Won't fit under the non-fed list.

Why not? Surely the non-fed list includes 'Europe' as our federation? Blanch and Pryce don't count on Catalans quota, so why should French players the other way round?

Is he french or oz french? and When did he join les cats?

Oh well that a misunderstanding from me then, I thought the froggies counted.

This is my understanding also...as Ferriol is actually French and not Aussie-French like others he wouldnt count on our quota. Not sure if he is OOC or if he would need a fee but would be a signing I would like to see

David ferriol has been a saints target since the first year poker took over. The has been many clubs in past after him including Wigan and bulls.

The sticking point every time is the fact he has his own business in the south of France and hasn't been willing to leave it. (I think it's wine)

IMO he's on his way out as a player now and has started to give more pens away then he used to which is a lot!

Surely you are not arguing against an additional prop???
