is set to sign with UTC apparently.
Good signing if we'll get an injury, he is very quick and skilled ball in hands.

great name that !

Good player, hopefully he'll get a run with the Dragons first team.

Shaky under the high ball and needs work on his defence, but bags of pace. Not Super League ready if you ask me.

I seriously hope he gets no where near the first team, I'll be expecting a call up before him!

thank god he's not been re-signed by TO13 !

he is quick and he is strong and a decent tackler - one day I can see him being a useful second-rower if he beefs up a bit

unfortunately he has one BIG problem - he can't catch a rugby ball - he probably couldn't even catch a cold !!!

under pressure he was rubbish when it came to catching (or not,in his case) the high balls - the Championship opposition had him sussed early on and sent all high balls to his direction knowing that he only had a 50 - 50 chance at best of catching the balls - he cost TO13 points galore in front of the posts and maybe even a place in the play-offs.

he's a great lad though,honest and hardworking and will do ok at UTC but I reckon his future lies in the second-row

i'm with CMR - I would expect my granny to get called up before him !

Although I'd like to hope that I'd get a call up before your granny.

have you seen her play ?

Rachid Alhalou (21-year-old), a powerful french player who can plays at wing, fullback or centre, have signed a one-year-deal with the Catalans' reserve. He have already played with UTC, before to switch the codes and sign with USAP and Toulon.

my granny was a decent player in her day i'll have you know,a cross between Gareth Hock & Vera Lynn - unfortunately she received a lifetime ban in 1974 for a dangerous tackle on Billy Boston...

well Tom,any french players signing for the Catalan outfit has to be good news for the future of french rl

having seen the french 'train up' squad for Albi,does anyone know if players like Clint & David F for example will be added to the squad or are they not included for whatever reason ? I know Bosc is injured.

Are out for the European Cup :

Clint Greenshields, David Ferriol, Thomas Bosc, Cyrille Gossard, Greg Mounis (accumulated fatigue) and Dane Chisholm (he prefers play with Melbourne to win his place on the squad)

I played with Hall of Famers Alex Chan, John Wilson and Stacey Jones - admittedly it was beach touch and pass but its still there on the CV!

Pakistan international. They can't take that away from you.

just told granny the bad news - CMR gets the nod ahead of her then

hope there was no match fixing on the beach ?

Cala was too busy fixing his hair.

sounds like a big girls' blouse !

No match fixing, but i won a fortune on the timing of the first penalty!
