How many French players have there been in the NRL before?

This could mean au revoir to FPN and maybe a few others.

Don't underestimate the importance of signing low income fringe front rowers who have experience in the game and just want to be given a go. Many successful clubs have stockpiled their front row ranks with Boom Rookies together with Older fringe NRL players and it has worked a treat.

I think that he'll do just fine if he gets a chance next year. Robbo has obviously seen something in him in his time in France as head coach of the catalans .

dimtri pelo and jerome guisset are the only ones i can think of, there is a few playing in the reserve grades.

A two year contract with him stating he will go back to Catalan Dragons after that. Sounds like a short term contract until Evans and Napa are ready. I don't think the Roosters will be signing a 28 y.o. and then get rid of 2 young guys coming through.

Sounds like FPN and Bosden will be gone and LOD can't have much left in the legs. If Tasi ends up leaving I won't be too concerned either. He can put on a big hit, but as was obvious when Mose was let go, Robinson wants more than this in a prop. TBH, I haven't seen the talent to match the hype with Tasi. All I ever hear is that 'Hasler was more pissed off losing Tasi than he was losing JWH - so what?

Yeah your right mate. He's only really ever shown his potential and been consistent in the u20s. Apart from that he's only shown a bit here and there. He has the physical attributes to be a monster but just has been too quiet. In his two games this season, Liu has shown more promise than him.

He is coming back from an injury though. If he doesn't pick up his act by the end of the season, he may be on his way out.

LOD might play another season.

FPN is probably gone. Other clubs like Parra who are stupid enough to pay him overs will get him.Bosden really was never here.Tasi needs to improve or he may end up leaving as well.

I read online that he was in the Super League Dream Team last year, the only Frenchman to have ever achieved that.

Looks like he could be a decent buy. Especially if he is replacing FPN.

Yeh for a prop that doesn't worry me.

Also he isn't a marquee signing, there are a couple ahead of him not to mention Napa and Evans will be ready to go next year.

If he turns out to be another Moa I will be very happy.

geeez i hope he speaks english. i cant find one english speaking interview on him

I agree SJ.
Looks to me like FPN is gone for sure and probably LOD.

As long as he doesn't look like George Rose WITH roids

LOD has been very good while we've been without JWH and Moa, I could definately see him getting another year.

FPN and probably Tasi are off elsewhere
