In one of the most bizarre ever sporting transfers between two clubs at war since the violence which marred their weekend match, Matty Smith has left Catalans to join Warrington on loan for the rest of the season.
With most of our players suspended after the weekends debacle this seems an odd move at an odd time.
However its best Smith moves on after a nightmare time in the South of France where he has struggled to fit into the boots left vacant by Josh Drinkwater.
We wish him well.
One player who wont be coming in to bolster the Dragons numbers is Morgan Escare who joins Wakefield Trinity on loan.
