Blanch was not considered for inclusion until he retired from playing, something he confirmed on social media recently after leaving Thirroul Butchers.
The winger arrived at Gilbert Brutus from Wakefield in the winter of 2010 and set about replacing look a like Steve Bell in the Dracs fans affections.
His inclusion in the hall of fame is based on some amazing aerial tries and the sheer consistency of his stats.
In 75 appearance for Catalan Dragons he scored 46 tries. To put that into context he crossed the whitewash on average 0.6 times per game.
Many of those scores came from about a metre in the air and tight int the corner. He always seemed to score dramatic scores against Hull KR for some reason and will be forever revered as being part of the build up to that Daryl Millard try and Langtree Park.
Well done Damien, a worthy inclusion, you are still missed.
