Completely agree with this, he could of gone down as a legend like Morley and Peack etc......but didn't. He was immense on his day but just faded away jumping from club to club, Getting booted from the England squad, backing out of going to the NRL and just went to the championship. Not a dig at the championship i just mean he could have sat at the top of world class players but one thing or another he just fell away. And kind of ended up as a "could have been" type player.
The Catalans Dragons will sign current Penrith and New South Wales State of Origin five eighth James Maloney on a three year deal starting in 2020. Catalans reportedly beat out a bid from the Leeds Rhinos. Assuming that Samuel Tomkins, Michael McIlorum, and possibly Antoine Gigot are also retained, the Catalans will have the best spine in Super League.
It is hard to see how the Catalans will miss out on the Grand Final in 2020 with "Jimmy Wins", a two time NRL Grand Final winner (with the Sydney Roosters and Cronulla Sharks), steering the team around.
James Maloney was apparently influenced in his decision by a desire to enjoy the wonderful lifestyle available in the south of France. He noted that this was better than what the north of England could offer.
Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021!
Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022!

Thank god you're OK bazza... We were woried when you fell silent after catalans collapsed at the weekend. The warriors reject will rip up SL..... good signing
JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.

Nice to see you have recovered from your no show on the Salford Catalans thread well other than the two alter egos you sent, I thought you must have emigrated to Russia.
