Quote ="vastman"I do agree but not based on what I’ve seen. More on his playing history. Reserve grade Catalan is not a great advert imho, they are very short of home grown players and you’d like to think that if he were any good they would have kept him. Even Cozza has a better back history imho.
Sadly the QLD/NSW Cup is where it’s at for up and coming talent not France. I know they are non quota but the quality just isn’t there. There are also way better Championship players and certainly better fringe players at clubs like Wigan.'"
Can’t argue with that. As you say if the quality was there they would end up at Catalans most likely. It’s a shame really in a way but I suppose it’s the result of only having 1 French team in SL and the competition over there not being to the same (or close) to SL. It doesn’t appear there’s the appetite or finance to see that happen anytime soon.
Just on Cozza, he should be entering his best years soon and I’m looking forward to seeing how he goes this year in SL.
