Don’t think the new lad has even been mentioned in a match report from what I can find. Can’t compare him with those two so I’m not getting too excited about the signing. Hope he proves to be a hidden gem though, it’d be nice to find one. Expand You can find him, Si but I think he has come over under his own steam, and, to my knowledge is on a two week trial, not signed as such. He's French, not an imported Aussie. Avignon Bisons signed him from an Elite 2 side. Think I read he was 24? Edited April 16 by andyacko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
