Catalans Dragons host Wigan Warriors at Stade Jean Bouin in Paris this Saturday, marking two decades since the French club joined Super League. The fixture celebrates a journey that has transformed rugby league in France, bringing top-flight action to Parisian fans for the first time. Catalans have established themselves as genuine contenders during this period.

Over twenty seasons, the Dragons have reached two Grand Finals in 2021 and 2023, captured the League Leaders' Shield in 2021, and achieved their landmark Challenge Cup victory over Warrington Wolves in 2018. These milestones demonstrate how far French rugby league has progressed since Catalans became the competition's first overseas club. Wigan CEO Kris Radlinski emphasized the match represents taking rugby league to new audiences and iconic venues globally.

Sky Sports is asking fans to vote for the greatest French Super League player ever, with ten candidates including club legends Thomas Bosc, Remi Casty, and Ben Garcia. Each nominee brings remarkable credentials - Bosc as the club's all-time leading points scorer, Casty with over 300 appearances, and Garcia as current captain who lifted the 2018 Challenge Cup.

Other contenders include Tony Gigot, who won the Lance Todd Trophy in 2018, and Julian Bousquet with over 300 games. The vote offers recognition for players who transformed French participation in Super League, making Saturday's celebration both a milestone and an opportunity to honor the pioneers who made it possible.
