Really? He and Gigot were the stand out players again for the Dragons, putting the big money overseas recruits to shame.

Anthony Gigot certainly does not deserve to lose his spot to an unimpressive Villiami Sione Tonga, when Tonga recovers from his broken jaw.

Mouad Yaha? Mouad?

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

Perhaps he has only seen the name on the TV screen and misread it. Had he heard it spoken he would have had an aural impression and hence a more accurate perspective.

His spelling of Billy Boston was, I have to say, impeccable.

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

He is much taller than Justin Carney, which is one reason why the Eric Grothe comparison and even the Billy Boston comparison, are more appropriate.

The fact that Fouad Yaha can perform so well at 18 is reason for optimism about his Super League and international future.

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.

Note that in my original post I only stated that Fouad Yaha could become a French version of Billy Boston. I didn't say that he was of Boston's stature already.

The signs are promising.

I like him. He has a bit of steel about him and controlled aggression is something Dragons have lacked this season with their Lassez Faire attitude to discipline.

But then we all thought Gadwin Springer was the second coming and the powers that be at Dragons managed to lose him.

I thought the Dragons' chairman's main concern at the moment was getting his dwarfish kid into the team?

Why are you calling him Billy Boston, and not William John Boston? It's bugging me.

So could I. But as I'm 54, 5'6" & not French it's highly unlikely.
