Quote: headhunter "The club signed Ben Fisher as cover during an injury crisis, because the two first choice players (Henderson and Pelissier) were unavailable for extended periods. Huddersfield recently signed Scott Moore in similar circumstances, so unless you are a complete hypocrite then you really should think more about what you are posting. As I have explained several times, not all of the talent in France is readily accessible to Catalans Dragons, just as not all the talent in England is accessible to Huddersfield Giants. The club signs overseas players for the same reason as every other club - because they want to assemble the strongest squad possible. Your argument that they should limit themselves just because they are French is absolute stupidity, and if that's not what you are arguing then I'm not sure what point you are trying to make? If you are a simple-minded moron who thinks that every single French player should play for Catalans and nobody else, then that's your problem. I look forward to seeing your club overtaken in a few years though when other Super League sides wake up to the obvious benefits of tapping into this talent pool.'"


No hypocracy at all. You either cannot understand the details or have been too lazy to get them. Oh dear...silly you. icon_biggrin.gif

I have never said the Dragons should limit themselves because they are french. Please stop making up my arguments...stick to making up your 'facts' a la Moore. d040.gif

You got it wrong on Moore and keep resorting to addressing things i never wrote...oh dear.

All those years developing French talent and the dragons have signed Ben Fisher icon_stupid.gif

Moore was signed as a replacement for the injured Tommy Lee and the departing Shaun Lunt. Fisher was signed as a replacement for the injured Henderson and Pelissier. Both have been signed to fill virtually the same role within their squads, so your argument is completely hypocritical and appears to suggest that you think Catalans do not have the same right to sign players as other Super League clubs, simply because they are French. If you are not suggesting that Catalans should limit themselves, then what are you suggesting? Do you have any sort of argument at all, or are you just making ignorant statements for the sake of it?

You are utterley clueless re the Giants. So stop digging numbnuts. icon_rolleyes.gif I have explained what happened. The Giants have a former NZ no9 in Faiumu who has covered for Lee so the comparison you are desperate to make with Dragons signing Fisher is even less credible. Oh dear. Try again. c020.gif

Like wakey a few years ago and HKR I think Catalans have way too many overseas players. This is all the more dissapointing given all the RL'talent' in France and only one SL team. It would appear the Dragons prefer to sign a player like Fisher rather than develop french players. Ho hum.
