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.

Re: mark gasnier : Tue Mar 16, 2010 8:59 pm  

Epic signing if they manage it.

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.

Re: mark gasnier : Tue Mar 16, 2010 9:52 pm  

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.
