Quote ="Jimmythecuckoo"Having read some stuff on the network over the previous few months there is a feeling in some quarters that Catalans are a team of promising Frenchmen and journeymen Australians (not my opinion I hasten to add).
From a promotional point of view and to help develop the Dragons support over here (to stop fans moaning about how many fans go to away matches in the UK) could a reasonably big name British signing help the cause and work for the club?

Possibly Jimmy but I think the main reason the club has never looked to England is that it would be easier to integrate any new Australian players with the exisiting Australian players and Australian coaching staff. These people of course have stuck largley to what they know (for obvious reasons), Mick Potter brought in Clint from his time at St George (I Think) and it stands to reason that they would know more about the players they have coached in Aus.
I don't think that signing English players would add any to our traveling support however
