The best thing about sport is that it is an ongoing story. Its stars are the characters, the stadiums are the majestic settings that home fairytales and each season acts as a chapter in the most compelling on running drama series man has ever penned.
Every year it seems there are a million stories to light up Super League often driven by the stars of the game.
Whether it is a star player shining as bright as can be, a youngster making a name for himself, a new signing changing the complexion of the league or someone written off in the past who has a point to prove in the new season.
That’s what we’re considering today, those players with a point to prove in 2023 and we’re looking at the Catalans Dragons.
As with any club, all Catalans’ new signings will have a point to prove in 2023. Meanwhile, those who are still at club after 2022 will also have something to prove after what was ultimately a disappointing season after the made the Grand Final for the first time in 2021.
However, the player with the most to prove is Tom Johnstone. In the eyes of many, it was inevitable that he would one day leave Wakefield but few expected him to join the Dragons.
So, he firstly has to show that he has made the right decision but then he also has to prove himself and earn a spot on the wing ahead of Tom Davies and Catalans’ leading try scorer of all time Fouad Yaha.
Johnstone is one of the best wingers in Super League, but he will have to prove it once more.
