    At a football club, there’s a holy trinity – the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don’t come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques.

    I just looked him up and... why on Earth would we sign a 30 year old Irish winger-journeyman?

        Ireland international winger Damien Blanch has ended his Catalan Dragons contract early by mutual consent to return to his native Australia.

        Blanch, 30, joined the Dragons from Wakefield in 2011, and went on to score 42 tries in 70 Super League games for the Perpignan club.

        "I left Australia in 2005, it's a long time far from home," Blanch said.

        "After a such long time of travelling, I feel it's the right time to get back to Australia."

        His time in England took him to Castleford Tigers, Widnes Vikings and Wakefield before the switch to the south of France, and earned him a place in the Ireland squad at the 2008 World Cup.

        Catalans, who finished seventh in this year's Super League competition, were knocked out of the play-offs by Hull FC last Friday.

        In addition to Blanch's exit, veteran second-row Steve Menzies is retiring and France international prop Remi Casty is also departing to join former coach Trent Robinson at NRL minor premiers Sydney Roosters.

                this signing makes little sense, just takes away a spot for a younger player to develop

                not sure if anyone else watched Catalans match from the weekend, Casty is a long way from NRL standard, seems very slow to react in defence also was blowing hard after 5 minutes, he just doesn't seem like the type of player Robbo goes for, will spend a lot of time at Newtown next season.

                    if we have signed this guy when the likes of Hayne/Hopoate/Ferguson are on the market might be an indication the club are confident that SBW is staying and our salary cap is pretty tight.

                        Perhaps, 2014 he could be de-registered and have to play with Atherton, then he'll come here. Win the Dally M etc. be a dick again in 2016 we sack him. I've seen this before, except this time he goes Sharks-Canberra-Roosters, not Canberra-Roosters-Sharks.
