Another Frenchman will join the NRL

Messages

Frenchman Benjamin Garcia, who had an apprenticeship with the the Brisbane Broncos feeder team Wynnum Manly in 2013, before returning to Super League team Catalans Dragons in France, has been signed by the Penrith Panthers for 2016. He is originally from Avignon, in southwest France.

At the Catalans this year Garcia has bloomed as a prop, second rower, lock, and even as a centre replacement. This is because he is not only strong, but also as fast as many outside backs, and has a great sidestep. Garcia has scored 7 tries in 12 appearances for Catalans in 2015, including 3 against Castleford and 2 against SL title holders St Helens. He will carve it up in the NRL, especially if Penrith play him on the edges, preferably as second rower.

He is only 22.

I've heard this bloke has been doing extra training with Alain de Royer‑Dupré in preparation for the hard two miles of the NRL

Benjamin Garcia is only 22, which means that his best days are still ahead of him. Under the careful supervision of coach Ivan Cleary we can expect the Frenchman to blossom into one of the most exciting "edge" forwards in the NRL.

Can he live up to the expectations of following on from the try scoring freak Casty ?

You are a bit slow Albert, this has been on the cards for over a week. A+ for the thread, D- for your tardiness.

Next Immortal.

Don't be a smart aleck. This guy Benjamin Garcia is a hot property right now and Phil Gould would not have bought him without getting very good evaluations from people he trusts.

I predict that he will make a solid mark on the NRL within one year.

How does he compare to Mr Casty?
