I cannot understand why the Dragons have never tried to sign Frederic from Rugby - he has been placed further down the order at both Toulouse and by French coach Lievremont, but his skills would be far better suited to League than Union.

Personally I will be gutted that he is leaving.

Losing Ryles, Bird and he in such a short space of time, coupled with the injuries to Tommy and Greenie means that our season is probably not far off being over.

Of the new players, from what I have seen, only Walker has hit the ground running so it may be a while before we set off on a run of wins.

I suspect that reading between the lines on here, Walters will be long gone before that ever happens.

Whhhoooooooooo???????

Anyway, back to the idle speculation and rumour-mongering. If we've no players in by the Hull KR game, it'd be a sin. Field some new lads, I say

We could always burrow our head in the sand and not sign anyone!

Michalak helped set up a try that dumped the New Zealand All Blacks out of RWC 2007, scored this try in RWC 2003, and a good one for Toulouse.

but hes a RU player, not sure if he would be dynamic in league as he would have less time on the ball.

He'd have more time on the ball in RL due to the 10m rule. The defences in Rugby Union are right on top of the playmakers.
