Given the sudden departure from the Catalans Dragons of Fijian international centre Brayden Williams, the club is in the lookout for a replacement. Latrell Mitchell is unlikely. However the recent signing of former Toulouse centre/winger Gavin Marguerite provides an interesting possibility for the Mediterranean powerhouse. Marguerite is very tall and very fast. So keep Gavin Marguerite on your radar in 2020.

Nobody under the name of Brayden Williams has ever played for Catalans Dragons. Are you referring to Brayden Wiliame?

He will get mullered at the top end of SL until he bulks up and gets experience - very good long term potential though

Based on what? His size? Doesn't seem to stop Regan Grace tearing it up.
Big bulky wingers definitely serve a purpose but players like Ashton, Grace, Marshall can get by just fine without being built like a brick sh*thouse.

i saw him at our shirt launch before xmas, whilst he's not vainikolo he's bigger than i expected and was quite surprised, he'll need to put a bit of muscle on but hopefully not at the detriment of his speed.

Grace has more mobility/strength, so can bust a tackle or 2 - don’t see that with Ashton at the moment, his tries seem to come from gaps and opposition errors, not seen as often in SL
His future success will be down to coaching and conditioning, be surprised if he gets a gig in the first team next season

At Cas, Danny Richardson will be the unknown quantity.
Is he the latest half-back to leave Saints and go on to be a fantastic player? Or he is over-rated based on one season? What will his partnership with Trueman be like - fresh and explosive or inexperienced and naive?
We know what Watts will bring. We know Eden will be rocks and diamonds. Tyla Hepi might surprise a few if he takes his opportunity,
So for us, I don’t think it’s one player - it’s how well the Richardson/Trueman combination works.

Who are the other half backs to leave Saints who went on to have great careers?

I am really hopin Jake Connor will show good things for Hull FC, he has the 7 shirt, time to knuckle down and stop being petulant.

Im hoping for good things from Bevan French. Lightning pace and excellent footwork. He could really thrive at 6

Or he could be a complete flop
