Catalans Dragons' longest-serving Australian players are anxiously awaiting a ruling from the Rugby League International Federation to discover if they can play for France in the Gillette Four Nations series.

Spoke to Bobbie Goulding at the Leigh v TO game and he said that while he wants to give the French lads first dibs "I'd be a fool to leave out Greenshields wouldn't I?"

Yes you would Bobbie.

Indeed.
So, when will the full interview be out?
In all fairness, I can't think of another etranger we would want in the side. While there are some good long-serving forign players, only Greenshields stands out filling a void in the side. I could see Mogg as a possibility, but not a good option long-term as we need to find a French SO. I think McGuire, as good as he is, would send out the wrong message, why McGuire when we have Bently?

Would we want Mogg in the side for more than a year? We would hope that Guash/Bartheau would fill in within a year or two. I know Mogg could be an option in the centres, but it would be wrong to play him ahead of Baile or Raguin. It seems a contentious decision for injury cover.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have Mogg in the squad showing the younger lads the ropes?
What level are those lads playing at the moment?
I'd imagine it would be quite a leap for them to go from their domestic competition to facing the Aussies, England and the world champions.
