Another Frenchman will join the NRL

The French people in general are shit humans.

Good friends to have in a scrap though :sarcasm:

French tyro Benjamin Garcia has an outstanding game yesterday for Catalans Dragons against the fancied league leaders Leeds Rhinos. The Catalans, spearheaded by Todd Carney, thrashed Leeds 46-16.

Garcia wasn't the only player to shine in the Catalans team. Most played well. However Garcia was probably the best forward on the field (and that field included Leeds' Adam Cuthbertson). It augurs well for Garcia's impending link up with the talented Penrith spine of Matt Moylan, Jamie Soward, Peter Wallace, and James Segyaro.

Peter Wallace + Benjamin Garcia = Panther unstoppable in 2016.

Outplayed Cuthburtson? Obviously a future Immortal...

Cuthbertson was an important member of the Newcastle Knights team that made its way well into the NRL playoffs in 2013. He is a very good player. But Garcia looks like a better player.

Frenchman Ben Garcia scored the try that was rated the best try of the Auckland Nines at NRL.com. He also played a role in setting up the try.

Ben Garcia is now the first Frenchman to have scored a try in the Auckland Nines, and the first Frenchman to have scored a try rated the best of the Nines series by NRL.com

It looks like Ben Garcia is set to carve up the NRL in 2016.

I don't know where this comes from, I went to France a few years back and everyone was extremely nice. The only people in France that tended to be rude were other tourists.

Mind you, I learned the basics of French before I went as they are very protectionist about their language and culture. Maybe if you lob up speaking English they get the shits, which is kinda what happens here.

:lol: He looked like he will be a very good reserve grader.

Yeah I don't see where he makes our full strength team. Looks handy depth wise

He can play in the back row, at prop, or in the centres.

He will turn out to be a quality replacement for Jamal Idris.

This is shocking to me. Out of all the great Frenchmen to score wonderful tries in the long history of the Nines im shocked he was the first to win this award. I believe this must be just a bad reflection of the quality of the NRL.com judges, as surely on other websites plenty of Frenchies have achieved this wonderful honour.

I hope he does well, but Albert, don't get too carried away. He's a long way behind Hiku and Blake.

Starting Centres: Hiku/DWZ. Backup Blake/RJennings
Backrow: Merrin, Cartwright, Taylor, Peachey, Yeo
Prop: RCG, Latimore, Matagi, McKendry, Latu

All of these players will start in front of him.

 

[betcats]

Whare?

 

[Blues Riff]

:lol:Yep. So it's safe to say Ben has a lot of work in front of him.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Starting Centres: Hiku/DWZ. Backup Blake/RJennings
Backrow: Merrin, Cartwright, Taylor, Peachey, Yeo
Prop: RCG, Latimore, Matagi, McKendry, Latu

I disagree. He will be the first player picked on the bench because he can cover 4 positions.
He is too valuable a utility to be left out of the interchange.

 

[betcats]

I would rate him as Penriths second best ever Frenchman after Craig Gower. If he goes on a drunken golf buggy rampage with Mitch Pearce's sister tied to the back I might move him up to number one.

Ummmm where's Whare?
