The derby coming up this week sees 21 players who have appeared for both Catalans and Toulouse in the game.

That familiarity is phenomenal and will hopefully lead to a super competitive match.

So... we can't skirt around this any longer...

Is Ritchiegate the biggest ex-player story from Catalans ?

Carney and Bird were ahead of their time with Dracs let's not forget.

Sad tale and odd that its this sort of stuff that gets the game in the headlines.

Very remiss of us to have missed this one but ex-Dragons "legend" Michael Oldfield (not the one who did tubular bells) retired last closed season after a spell with Paramatta Eels.

Best of luck to him.

What have I missed now?

Oh, Richie Myler?
I have literally no opinion on the subject other than that I like singing Helen Skelton's name to the tune of Helter Skelter - clearly the best Beatles record, incidentally.

Mick Potter in at Canterbury

Gadwin granted a release from TO with immediate effect

Jimmy Maloney making a comeback with Lez in 2022/2023

David Mead retires immediately.

Good luck to him.

Morgan joins Carcassonne in Elite !

Internet rumours Israel Folau is on his way back to rugby league and the NRL with Redcliffe Dolphins.

meh.

Some interesting words on McNamara from Josh Drinkwater via Treize Mondial.

Basically saying that the club had its meeting to say farewell to the departing players before he was called in the next day and told he was free to go.

Not great way of managing a player with real history at the club.

Sam Williams (remember him?)

Almost joined Penrith Panthers apparently. Actually joined Queanbeyan Kangaroos

Bit of a difference there. And of course we remember him, for that try at Headingley if nowt else

New Kiwis head coach is... Stacey Jones

Guess it was only a matter of time before this happened tbh
