An away trip to the South of France, or an away day to Featherstone? Hmmmmm.

Quote: Nothus "
Add on to that the fact that they are also losing Whitehead to the NRL and also - perhaps more importantly - Ben Garcia. I have been really impressed every time I have seen Garcia play this season, so it must have been especially galling for Catalans to have a youngster with such promise up sticks to the NRL so early in their career.

There are plenty of decent French players in the Catalans side and earlier this week they also gave new full time contracts to Yaha and Lucas Albert.'"


I'm pretty sure Garcia is an Aussie but, I get your point.

He's French but did spend some time playing for Brisbane's under 20s before joining Catalans. So a bit of both I guess.

Quote: Charlie Sheen "I'm pretty sure Garcia is an Aussie but, I get your point.'"

Garcia is french, as is Gadwin Springer, another french lad to move on from Catalan.

Escare, Duport, Elima, Casty, Mounis, Bosc, Pelissier, Garcia, Cardace, Bousquet, Baitieri, Maria, Guasch, Robin, Yaha, Gigot, Margalet, Sigismeau & Albert
Id say the french development is going pretty well...

As for the imports,
Pomery, Tonga, Oldfield, Carney, Dereau, Henderson, Taia, Anderson, Lima, Inu & Whitehead
At least 4 are deffinetly leaving, with a couple more rumoured.

I dont think its much better at Hull Kr as it is Catalan.
Mantellatio, Sio, Blair, Kelly, Allgood, Campese, Tilse, Puletua, Chisholm..

Hull Daily Mail have reported Hull FC have tabled an offer for Sika Manu. It's probably the usual made up crap from this paper but is he any good?

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion.

No, he's French, unless you think Josh Hodgson is now an Aussie.

Jack Hughes to Warrington from Wigan. Good signing he's got loads of potential just needed game time.

He has played virtually every game this season for the Giants so not lacking game time.

Has loads of potential but like he did at Wigan he can look masterful one minute and make a big mistake the next,

Quote: Doom&Gloom Merchant "Not a comprehensive list of [iall[/i SL transfers, just the ones that are joining SL from elsewhere, and leaving SL. The idea is to see if the marquee rule is already having an early effect and whether SL is gaining a higher calibre of player than it's losing to rival comps (so doesn't include retirees).

I'll try to keep updated as & when transfers are announced. So farINS

Ye that's what I meant, he's shown what a quality player he is this season because he's been playing every week. Obviously you'd know better than me has he done well in your opinion? Better than Patrick?

Quote: A unknown superstar "Hull announce the signing of Washbrook and Sika Manu!
What a signing Manu is!'"


Manu is a dud! He's one of the great (and numerous) examples of a player looking like a superstar in the Melbourne system and then being found to be bang average when they move on (usually for big money)- he's been a huge waste of money at Penrith and is by no means a starter at Penrith nowadays....

He's average, but looked great doing a simple job in the Melbourne system outside their 'big 4' - a poor signing in my eyes, and probably on a fair wedge...
