I don't think the end of season recruitment really does Saints justice. If you look year on year, its currently:

In: Taia (Gold Coast), Barba (Toulon), Bentley (Bradford)
Out: Greenwood (Gold Coast), Walker (Wakefield/ Ban), Owens (Sheffield/ Leigh), Richards (Leigh), Lee (HKR), Fleming (London), Bailey (Leigh - Loan), Cunningham (Leigh - Loan)
OOC (Still unannounced): Peyroux, Ashworth

Lots and lots of deadwood moved on (still some to go) and yet the squad is stronger than when it started. I would like to think that between the fact we started the year with "wiggle room in the cap" (according to KC), Lomax getting a central contract, and the cap going up, I am hopeful that we can get a quality right edge second row* in to finish our recruitment (and consign Wilkin to the squad role that Wellens played in his final year).

*who and from where I have no idea

They're probably making room for another Bradford player

If they do as well as the others have so far, get him signed !!!

Antoni Maria has re-joined Catalans from Leigh.

Samisoni Langi has also joined Catalan from Leigh.

James Green - Leigh to Cas Tigers on 1 year deal.

I doesn't surprise or shock me one bit and I doubt it will many other Tigers fans. Green is a typical Powell signing for us. I you look at out English recruitment over the last 4 seasons I bet over 75% have come from the championship.

So while Hull KR and Leigh keep signing Catalans academy products, Catalans keep promoting promising young players of their own. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/41984625

Quote ="Sir Kevin Sinfield"So while Hull KR and Leigh keep signing Catalans academy products, Catalans keep promoting promising young players of their own. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/41984625'" Plenty more to go around, the France u16s team competes with England every year and most of them are usually signed with Catalans so they basically have 13 new junior internationals to try and fit into their u19s team every year.

Catalans (and France) need to find some bigger lads though. The French national team is physically small (particularly in build) compared to England, Aus or NZ.
