Absolutely agree wholeheartedly!

They are cheesy gimmicks that belong in the 1990s.

A few years ago Wire were saying they were going to make a big announcement and, to a man, our entire fanbase were hoping that it would be the ditching of “Wolves” from our club name.

We were all let down as it ended up being the release of a new club badge.

Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "David Waite, the former initial top official and coach of Catalans, told me in 2006 that he had decided on Catalans Dragons because there was a history of belief in Dragons in the region! That is so weird!

Actually, that is a rationalisation by him. Everyone knows that David Waite played for and was formerly a coach of, the St. George Dragons in Sydney. I believe that David just wanted to have a link with his past.

But in any case it has worked. Everyone likes the name Catalans Dragons.'"


So nothing to do with St George (Santa Jordi) being the patron Saint of the region then, who according to legend released a princess from the clutches of a DRAGON??

I would have thought that a well educated and well travelled individual such as yourself living in Carcassone and steeped in all things within this part of southern France northern Spain should have known about that connection?

Ah well at least David Waite had a 'lucky accident' when choosing the name Imagine if he had previously been coach of the Rabbitohs the people of Catalonia wouldn't have had a clue

The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings".. Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

Irony is represented below. [quote="JEAN CAPDOUZE":162hm7sy]He is not telling the truth. He is talking paranoid rubbish.[/quote:162hm7sy]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_59837.jpg



Catalonians celebrate Sant Jordi every year with a festival, very surprised this has slipped your history armoury Jean

I think you are both wrong and Jean is right. It's far more believable that the club just let the new coach pick the brand name on his own because he liked the one from his former club and that people in the area believed in dragons.
If Waite hadn't stepped in they could have been called Catalan Fairies at the bottom of the Garden

Excellent, or as they'd say in 'Jean Land' Catalans fees au fond du jardin
