Still a long way from amateur

He’s. Played 20 games for st esteve , been involved in 2 Catalan games and been on Toulouse roster so no I disagree with you there

Bit of extra cover i guess which is never a bad thing. Hope it doesn’t impinge of Bowes’ game time though.

Nah, Peter Small at Cas and Vince Farrar at Fev.

I don’t know the lad but am prepared to give him a chance before I judge him!
I congratulate the club on making an effort to bring more players in - it’s increases competition and is a positive not a negative.

St Esteve is still Semi pro and Toulouse are ful time

They are not amateur teams.

But at the end of the day, he's proved he can play at Super League level whereas these unknown half backs have not.
So I can't see what the problem is.

Agreed

St Esteve is the Catalans Dragon reserve team.

So he's been in a full time environment for a few years. Deffo a long way from being an amateur!

Feeder team is not the same as a reserve team.

They compete in Elite 1.

I do remember Terry Ramshaw Redscat, he was a belter. Have to say, Handley at Leeds always makes me think he should have a bolt through his neck. Maybe we have another thread potential here. Pop tart seems to think he’s a handsome lad? Actually, I don’t give a toss as long as he’s a good hooker.

You started a conversation about how attractive you find a player
You want to do a new thread about it

But you don't really care?

There are better places for your thoughts. This isn't a dating site.
Let's keep it to conversations about his rugby ability.

Can those who have seen these half backs running round in the amateur game a clue of who they play for please?

Also FYI the club has attempted to bring in a couple of late developer halves who after a month or so have unfortunately not worked out for different reasons.

Don’t know anything about this lad other than seeing him play one SL game and he went well in defeat so willing to give him a chance.

Hate him or love him, but you must agree the Catalan coach knows how to build a very good team big strong ,forward ,fast backs , So would think Tison should be able to do a good job at 9\6 or he would be no were near Catalan ,22 year old hope we give him a go

It’s great to just see us still adding to the squad, as Cas and so many others are. We’ve had a decent record against Wire and a continuation would be amazing.
Anyone any news on Luke Gale?

The flurry of activity from everyone is to beat the 4th August deadline.

The biggest bonus for us is that we did our contracts earlier. So Griffin, Hugo and to a certain extent Romain if he's fit will be training with the team and ready to go at Cas.
The new starters will take time to gel with their team.

I'm really hoping Griffin is the key differentiator for us.

I'll give you Pete Small who still looks fit. Tom Johnstone is no oil painting but what a finisher.

There must be a line about undercoat, brush off etc


FIL where are you

Don't know about you PT but I can't remember this much activity in previous years. Griffin or anyone else for that matter can train as much as they like but he won't be match fit in his first game back. Good signing though.

I guess we'll find out soon eniugh

...Easel there, Tiger, I'm just Framing myself to get a decent reply.....Remembrandt, Rome wasn't built in a day

And Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times. Just saying like. Don’t think he could paint though.

Think you're just glossing over it there FIL........

Let's get back on topic people ... Ugo Tison.

Spoil sport



Okay...is he any relation to Mike ??
