has anyone stated that the lad will be english? all i have read is that the player plays in england, it would be unusual for us to bring an english player in.

Can we not Cooke up a better rumour than that?

I cannot understand why the Dragons have never tried to sign Frederic from Rugby - he has been placed further down the order at both Toulouse and by French coach Lievremont, but his skills would be far better suited to League than Union.

Personally I will be gutted that he is leaving.

Losing Ryles, Bird and he in such a short space of time, coupled with the injuries to Tommy and Greenie means that our season is probably not far off being over.

Of the new players, from what I have seen, only Walker has hit the ground running so it may be a while before we set off on a run of wins.

I suspect that reading between the lines on here, Walters will be long gone before that ever happens.

Whhhoooooooooo???????

Anyway, back to the idle speculation and rumour-mongering. If we've no players in by the Hull KR game, it'd be a sin. Field some new lads, I say

Whoops, left out the surname!

Freddie Michalak.

We could always burrow our head in the sand and not sign anyone!

Nope. Still never heard of him.

Has someone left the oven on? I can smell gas in here. Gas in here... Gasnier... Oh, forget it

thought they mihjt be after jarrod sammut from penrith along with crusaders....

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_MichalakFreddie Michalak[/url is one of the most dynamic playmakers and first receivers French Rugby has had in the professional era. He was moved out of position to 9 (playing effectively as a dummyhalf) for club and country, but he's a creative, dynamic playmaker who would thrive in RL. Michalak helped set up [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYfMulCE1HE&NR=1a try that dumped the New Zealand All Blacks out of RWC 2007[/url, scored [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooZWErt2eDQ&feature=relatedthis try in RWC 2003[/url, and [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq5tHkr5Mmk&feature=relateda good one for Toulouse[/url.

but hes a RU player, not sure if he would be dynamic in league as he would have less time on the ball.
