His attempt at a drop goal on monday gave me a giggle, when he was lining it up i just thought "what the hell is he doing?" turned out a pure masterstroke the penalty gained from it won us the game sign him up

12 apps. this season triggers a new contract for french John. The kids doing o.k.

Re: John Boudebza : Wed Apr 08, 2015 6:00 pm  

He's been a revelation in defence. 125 tackles 6 missed. Best completion rate in the squad.
Smashed Mickey Mouse his lauded opposite number in the Wigan game on his back who got up throwing his arms about and gave away a penalty. John just stood his ground.
The props target him but none so far have run over him. Built like a tank for a little fella.
Great distribution from the ruck. He can kick and make plays around the ruck but seems to be keeping it simple at the moment. For me another very astute buy. Chester knows a rugby player it appears.
This kid could become a bit of a revelation.
Hope we keep both the Frenchmen.

Now that Elliot Whitehead has announced that he is going to Canberra in 2016 (to join Joshua Hodgson), Catalans may come knocking for Kevin Larroyer to replace him. Just speculation though.

Meanwhile Catalans have Ian Henderson and Eloi Pelissier as the two regular hookers, with Joan Guasch as an emergency replacement, so they won't likely come knocking for John Boudebza.

Re: John Boudebza : Wed Apr 08, 2015 8:17 pm  

They might knock, but maybe Kevin prefers to play for a top 4 club, so he will stay?

Re: John Boudebza : Wed Apr 08, 2015 8:50 pm  

Thought larroyer and Catalans had a big falling out. Some bad blood between them over Kevin slagging them off a while ago. Can't see him going back there

As long as The Butcher remains this lad will always play.

I suspect that you are right. But Joan Guasch must be the shortest person playing rugby league, and I include Rob Burrow in that judgment.

Nice try Rolfie. I'm more than happy with 7th at this stage of the season. Equally happy Hull are in the bottom 3, unfortunately as Wakey are so poor at the moment, my only disappointment is the fact you don't look like dropping much lower.
