Can't say I've ever noticed him. Any more info on him? I'd take Bousquet any day.

22y/o, he's been a standout for the reserves team in the French league for the last couple of years and was promoted to the Super League squad when the French season finished this May, I think he's made about 10 SL appearances. Aggressive forward who would definitely suit Wane's style of play, I'd compare him to Ben Flower when he was at Crusaders.

With the rumours surrounding Mossop and Clubb, you can probably make that 11.

Clubb is to undergo further surgery early in November. It's such as shame if this ends his career. He was really starting to look like a top class prop. Putting rugby aside, I just hope he can make a recovery that means he live an ordinary life, even if he can't play rugby any more.

Well in the last 2 weeks he has put his house on the market and last week it sold..... And he lives just around the corner from the Orrell ground...... Moving closer to the Saints training ground??

Aye. A Wire fan on their board reckons he's signed for them in what is potentially a swap deal for an out of favour player.

It certainly looks like we're having a bit of a jiggle around of our squad in time for next year.

Yep. Heard he'd sold his house last week. However not sure if this signifies a move to Saints. The drive from his house in Orrell to the Saints training ground would be hardly a burden surely.
