Just what I've heard, I'm dubious. Allegedly broke his ankle on a night out in Manchester purple monkey dishwasher but I don't see how that would finish a career???

It's probably Chinese whispers

Picked up the injury in the Warrington game.

Sounds like an insurance claim to me if done during a game, I know players can claim quite a bit of money trough injuries sustained throughout their careers, I know one who had to claim for fewer injuries to get more money.

Been told we offered Hampshire to Wakey for next season but they turned it down as we wanted them to pick up the whole of his wages.

Can't say I've ever noticed him. Any more info on him? I'd take Bousquet any day.

To be fair this would be in line with Wane stating we probably need to look at established players rather than projects.

It is consistent with his statement after the Roosters match where we publicly stated the way to go in future would be to look for size, then put together one of the smallest, in stature, squads in SL.

If it turns out to be true can't in honesty really judge as I've seen nothing of him.

Read a bit about this on Total RL. He hasn't been on a full time deal at Catalans and Wigan have supposedly jumped in pronto to offer him one ahead of them (which he's meant to have accepted). There's a video clip of him running at and flattening Scott Moore. That'll do for starters!

A few people on there are saying he looks a good prospect and is an aggressive ball runner and defender.

Isn't this his first season at Catalans?

Yeah I was gonna say. He's a 23/24 year old bench player at a mid-table club, how is that established?
