I know what you mean he is great and is being used as someone said as our "3rd prop" very effectively, absolute talent, but i want another of these please

He could still play now, there was no need for him to retire. It's not like he ever ran anyway, just walked in and carried them 15 metres.

Personally, I reckon an ideal and realistic prop to replace Cayless is David Ferriol at Catalans. He wouldn't cost that much and is a very good player IMO. He's 6ft 3in and 17st 2lbs and would be a great impact prop. In the games against Wigan and Bradford he was outstanding going forward and really changed the game coming off the bench. He's also got a good offload game.

Good call and a good player. But I'd much prefer the strong French players to play for Catalans as they will only replace any departures with more anonymous NRL players.

I'd have to agree with that, he's very good, but should stay in the french system if its going to be a long term success

One rumour I heard was that Jamie was bringing Kane Cleal with him when he comes over.

I doubt he'd get through customs carrying one of these, he looks like he has rabies!

He'll still be a winner in The town centre pubs though

Did he play for Cas at one point ?

Yes. Played for Cas in 2006, when we had Manu in the back row with him.
