Is Fouad Yaha going to become the French Billy Boston? : Sun Jun 21, 2015 1:40 am  

There are promising signs that this could happen. The 18 year old has burst into Super League with size, strength, speed, a swerve, a good fend, and great composure.

He still has to learn his correct positioning in defence, but that should come with time.

This teenager is surely on the path to future high status in Super League. Given his already demonstrated talents, to suggest that he could eventually become of the stature of Billy Boston is not a wild call.

A more open question is whether Catalans Dragons can keep him, given the stingy policy of underpaying French players by Catalans Chairman Bernard Guasch.

So far he sounds more like a French Kevin Penny.

... he sounds like? If you watched the television coverage of his matches, rather than relying on radio broadcasts, you would have a visual impression and hence a more accurate perspective.

Surely he is more likely to be the new Eric Grothe

He's actually quite a good player. Decent pace, sturdily built, puts himself in good positions and looks comfortable under the high ball. Definitely all the makings of a decent SL and international player.

Of course the OP is completely over the top.

Yes, he looks a promising young talent.

He;s more like Justin Carney, which is no bad thing.

OP is a tad hyperbolic as usual from this poster, but gee Yaha is impressive and I can't believe he is only 18.

Mouad Yaha? Mouad?

At least get his name right before you post all this ott hyperbole
