28?

In his prime, and one of the most talented centres to play rugby in the last 20 years.

Despite knowing feck all French, the fact that there is a '?' at the end of the link suggests its not official. Would be a great move for them though!

Everyone remember when we thought we'd signed him?

Rule no.1 for negotiations - don't do them in public.

sorry for my English I use a google translator
it is not official yet but ca not be delayed

Indeed, one of the few times Maurice got burned.
Think IL plays things much differently.

Translated through word:

And if the medical joker sought by dragons, to replace both Adam Mogg (delicacy with osteoarthritis of the knee) and discussion with the club for an early release from his contract, current until end 2011 and Clint Greenshields (his fractured fibula together leave it away the land for approximately three months), was Mark Gasnier? We know that the Stade Français should not renew the 28-year old Kangaroo de St George-Illawarra, former contract and who has not fully adapted to rugby union. It is also known that the player itself, probably tired too often used on a wing, in Paris, would be attempted to find in 2011 its sport original, LRN, or sign in Melbourne Rebels, the new franchise Australian Super 14 (soon 15), or even to the Reds, the Brumbies, or even on the basque coast (hence originates his fiancée, Claudine Bonnechere), Bayonne and Biarritz are not insensitive to his talent. Finally, we know that the Paris club has abdicated virtually any chance to qualify for the play-off for the top 14, next June. Also, in Perpignan, it is obviously sought to jump on this opportunity. Only problem, but size: pay the player switch around of 30,000 euros per month, at the Stade Français. He would, at the time, proposed to the Dragons of give them the nephew of "the immortal" Reg Gasnier against half of her salary. Question: are dragons prepared to accept the deal? Why not, knowing that the catalan club, in the case of early departure Mogg, will have a little money to put on the table, even when it may financially compensate its Australian, attacker for early release. It guesses, in any case, that discussions between the Stade Français and Dragons should be tight, hoping to reach an agreement that would enable them to pay to the Parisian club slightly less than half of the monthly salary of Gasnier Catalans. Which, for the story, had confronted its possible future teammates David Ferriol Jérôme Guisset, Jamel Fakir, Greg Mounis, Sebastian Raguin, Aimé-Giral, of a France-44-12 by the kangaroos won Australia, November 12, 2005. Both parties, anyway, have everything to gain in a possible transaction: Stade Français, who économiserait in the vicinity of 30,000 euros, season two ending for him in may, and dragons, which would have an opportunity unhoped-for recruit a high class, player able to play , of course, but also at the opening (ten games with St George between 2006 and 2007, and a "State Of" in 2006), a position often occupied by Mogg, since his arrival in Roussillon, or even back, where the replacement of Greenshields represents a headache, despite the presence of Thomas Bosc, Dimitri Pelo and Chris Walker, three players club with little or loosely held this job in the past. In any case, should be quickly fixed, on Gasnier, where dragons to rapidly recruit a replacement Greenshields. The Australian, admittedly, is much more expensive (there will be at least six months of salary to ensure, by the end of the Super League) a young English, the other runway exploited, but his coming to Perpignan would guarantee both sports (81 tests in 141 games with St George, 11 in 15 selections with the kangaroos, 4-9 games with the "Blues" of new South Wales in the "State Of Origin"icon_wink.gif and media. CONTINUED very closely, therefore

I thought he was in early 30s, yes remember when we went after him and fell flat on its face instead we got vailliki

If Catalans get him it will be a great signing both on and off the field.

Epic signing if they manage it.

I hope IFL is monitoring the situation!!!

There's another centre off contract not far away from our ground end of 2011 that would cause a bit of a stirrup

Especially considering who our current coach is and who he used to coach. Imagine that?



Would be great for Super League though and Catalans if they could pull it off.

nowt against catalans, but Gasnier for me can go screw himself.

I'd like to say 'you've had your chance Mr Gasnier' so you can go and take a hike but the guy is a truely superb rugbyleague player and if somebody said to me now Carmont leaves at the end of 2010 and we replace him with Gasnier i'd have to say thanks very much.

I'm a huge Carmont fan but Gasnier is outstanding. I'd imagine Saints will have him on their radar aswell with them needing to replace Gidley for 2011.

Please not for the Stains first Lyon & Gidley then Gasnier

In my opinion Gasnier prior to his move to union was head and shoulders the best player in the world, add him to Leeds, Saints, Wire or Wigan and I think you would almost guarantee whichever of those clubs he signed for a trophy every year.

He was up there as best player in the world no doubt. When he gets the ball in that right centre position it's just a joy to watch. He's big, strong, fast, has great footwork and great hands.

If he was a couple of years older i'd worry about how he could come back from a stint in Union but he's only 28 and could have 4 or 5 top seasons left in him.

If Catalans do get him they'll be very lucky.

This has started from a rumour about a rumour on the Catalans board.

So far we've got that Adam Mogg is heading back to Australia in a couple of weeks. Rumoured to be due to family problems.
Catalans are in early taks with a British half back 'who wants away from his current club' and the rumours seem to be suggesting it could be Danny Brough! The only other name I can think of that fits the bill is Paul Cooke.

I'd release Carmont, Bailey and Pryce for Gasnier, that should cover it. He's up there with Inglis, an absolutely phenomenal rugby league player.

Obviously an awesome player but not in a position we need in my opinion, a prop should be the priority.

Rule number one: Don't believe a word Mark Gasnier says... ever. Rule number two: Don't believe an article about a club being interested in a player just before their contract is due for re-negotiation. Rule number three: Don't believe a word Mark Gasnier says.

Agreed.

If he was available, I would hope IL would be in there.

Awesome signing for Catalan, "IF" it came off.

A change of coach is more likely than Gasnier, for Catalan though, imo.
