Although I'm happy that Wakefield have gone back to Trinity I absolutely disagree that the names are a waste of time.
The very fact that Rhinos, even if there are none in Leeds, is such a powerful brand proves its case.
If you pick a good one and actually market it correctly it can be invaluable.

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

I think uncle rico has busted you Bazza You should stick to all things stralian your understanding of convict is better than your le Frog.

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
