Catalans Import Hall of Fame: best team of past ten years : Sat Aug 22, 2015 1:24 am  

The best team of foreign imports who have played for Catalans over the past ten years.

Clinton Greenshields

Michael Oldfield, Adam Mogg, Darrell Millard, Justin Murphy

Todd Carney
Stacey Jones

Gregory Bird,
John Zebolon Ta'ia, Steven Menzies,
Alexander Chan, Ian Henderson, Dane Carlaw

Interchange: Casey McGuire, Jason Croker, Elliot Whitehead, Louis Anderson,


Because of the abundance of import talent in the back row, and the paucity of import talent in the prop forward position (where French players have dominated), I would play Louis Anderson, and one of Jason Croker and Elliot Whitehead as replacement prop. The only other way to assemble a stronger team would be to play Steven Menzies in the centres in place of Darrell Millard, and move Whitehead into the run on team as second row, and add Chris Beattie as a replacement prop with Louis Anderson.

I'd argue that Dureau should be in there instead of Carney. Carney (although he is world class) has done sod all so far.

Haha I did. Carney has only been good for a few games tho! Dureau has been brilliant for the cats (apart from this year) for a while now.
