Of the list of backs I havn't heard of Tony Leg, a bit suprised that Tony Gigot (Quinz) isn't involved.
Forwards are no suprises, except maybe for Gagliazzo, I reckon Tamghert will be dropped because HE'S A DIRTY ARAB!

Jerome has apparently spat his dummy out over not retaining the captaincy!

Gigot is in. Dare I suggest they've stuck the press release through a translation engine?

As Guisset has binned the French squad, is he looking to leave the Dragons or will he be quite happy to stay?

few, for a moment there I was a bit worried that other posters wouldn't get it.

I am seriously gutted that we've lost Guisset from internationals, esp. as it could be a move to extend his playing career ... at wigan.

I like the look of this squad, good selection by BG. I hope that he doesn't try to look fair and pick from many clubs, but rather picks all the best players from Catalans and adds in where cover is needed.

From our last international game will we continue with Bartheau at 3/4, is he the future? Can he be if he isn't getting first team game-time? Can we really have Greseque as first choice if he doesn't try himself at a higher level?

I Belive this is the final cut http://www.ffr13.com/1-14317-Detail-d-u ... php?Id=759 Jean Philippe BAILE (Dragons Catalans), Kane BENTLEY (Dragons Catalans), Thomas BOSC (Dragons Catalans), Rémi CASTY (Dragons Catalans), Vincent DUPORT (Dragons Catalans), Olivier ELIMA (Dragons Catalans), Jamal FAKIR (Dragons Catalans), David FERRIOL (Dragons Catalans), Mathieu GRIFFI (Toulouse), Romain GAGLIAZZO (AS Carcassonne), Cyril GOSSARD (Dragons Catalans), Clint GREENSHIELD (Dragons Catalans), Maxime GRESEQUE (Pia SM), Casey Mc GUIRE (Dragons Catalans), Sébastien MARTINS (Dragons Catalans), Christophe MOLY (AS Carcassonne), Dimitri PELO (Dragons Catalans), Sébastien RAGUIN (Dragons Catalans), Teddy SADDAOUI (AS Carcassonne), Cyril STACUL (Dragons Catalans), Julien TOUXAGAS (Dragons Catalans), Frédéric VACCARI (Union Treiziste Catalane), Constant VILLEGAS (Toulouse). One or two surprises I guess for me, mainly Eric Anselme as Mounis was left out of the original selection, unless he will do what we seem to have done a bit this year and name a big lad at 13? No Tamghart or Rinaldi. No Mogg but I never felt he would play I guess. Moly
