A great move by Remi Casty, and a wise choice by his former and soon to be again coach.
It will give recognition in Australia to the existence of rugby league in France.
My prediction is that the next Frenchmen to join the NRL (in 2015) will be Catalans' hooker Eloi Pelissier and full back Morgan Escare.

I think he'll go really well. He's developed so much in the last 2 or 3 years and is one of the best props in the league.

Is he the first proper Frenchman to go to the NRL since the Dragons joined Super League? A few Aussie-Dragons are out there but is he the first French?

Good on him. Plays the game tough and I've always liked his style. Should go well.

Benjamin Garcia from Avignon signed for Broncos a few months ago but I don't know if he already played a first grade game. So yes, Remi Casty is the first professionnal proper Frenchman to go to the NRL.
EDIT : Oops, Jerome Guisset played for Canberra Raiders long time ago (in 1999). So Remi is no longer the first frenchman to play in the NRL! |

EDIT
Thanks, Guisset was before the Dragons were in Super League so it's the first development there. Escare seems to be the obvious candidate to be the next to go out there, maybe Bosc as well?

Isn't Dimitri Pelo, now at Canberra, a 'proper' Frenchman?

Like someone else said, Ben Garcia is a regular in the Brisbane U20s side so Casty might not be the only Frenchman in the NRL next year. Tony Gigot is also playing for Cronulla Sharks' reserve grade, in the same team as Brett Finch. It's funny that no English teams will go anywhere near these players. |

Eric Anselme and a few other young lads went over to Australia, not sure if any ever made it to 1st grade.

I believe they're treated as Non-Federation, if French players were treated equally to British ones, I suspect that more would be spread around the other teams. |
