Should the Roosters sign Julien Bousquet?

[Albert Rosenfeld]

If Pearce leaves the Roosters we will have cap room.

We need one more good prop, given the departure of Kane Evans. JWH, Napa and Tetevano aren't enough.

Bousquet, who plays for Catalans, is also prop for France (No 10).. He is a gun, was oustanding against Lebanon, and would give us tremendous aggression in the middle.

He's no Remi Casty but.

Why don't you just sign every player who currently plays and go off and play in your own little competition.

Your club is one massive joke.

The great news is you will still win nothing.

Bousquet is bigger and stronger than Remi Casty, who nevertheless scored two tries against serious NRL clubs.

You do realise he said "if we lose Pearce" yes?

Clubs are allowed to sign players if they have space under the salary cap

If Pearce goes we will have some space in our cap - losing a player who is on around $800k when you're $450k over (and make no mistake, we are currently over and we know it) means you have $350k to spend on someone else's salary

Would it be enough to temp Mr Bousquet to Sydney? Is he worth $350k?
These are the things we can discuss

Temper tantrums and insults over perceived injustices are not welcome
Thanks

Who has he excelled against. Lebanon, primarily Ron Massey Cup and then played against Woods.
On that basis there is a lot hands down the pants stuff about a nobody

Hard to say - last year the Catalans Dragons were a shambolic mess
They finished in the bottom 4 of Super League and then muddled their way through the middle eights finally surviving in the Million pound game

On that basis you would say that he hasn't excelled against anyone

I watch a fair bit of Super League and I have never watched a Catalans game and thought "this guy is good"

 

[RedVDragon]

Yes sign everyone why not. It the only way you may win a comp. We all know that won’t be achieved because you choke, rorters.

You guys should sign Mitchell Pearce. I hear he is looking for a club.

Alex Walmsley would be the pick of the Super League bunch by some way.

Age on his side, in-form and a current international for a top tier nation. The perfect time to join the NRL and the Roosters should be able to fit him in with Pearce now released.
