Toulouse. The TO formalizes the arrival of Rémi Casty in the staff
The international pillar retires from the player but does not leave the club because he integrates the technique of the staff.
The information had been circulating for a few days already. We echoed it in these columns, a few days after the TO victorious final against Featherstone. Rémi Casty, legend of the French XIII, had decided to put an end to his immense playing career on the evening of the final of accession to the Super League. And a persistent rumor sent him… within the future staff of the TO. After some negotiations, the announcement was made official this week: Rémi Casty will indeed be at the TO next season, but on the bench. Despite his decision to hang up his crampons, the TO will still be able to benefit from his aura, his experience, his advice since Rémi Casty joins the Olympian staff as an assistant coach. “We still need Rémi. He has told us a lot this year and I am sure that he will bring us as much next year in his new role”, said Bernard Sarrazain, the president of Toulouse Olympique, about this. reconversion.
After 15 years spent in the Catalan Dragons jersey, of which he was one of the emblematic captains, a freelance in NRL with the Sydney Roosters in 2014, where he is the only French to have played so many matches (12), to have scored a try (2 in total) and having won a title (the World Club Challenge against Wigan), the French pillar had launched a final challenge by joining the TO in early 2021 to help the club climb to the Super League.
After 13 matches posted under the jersey for 5 registered tries, Rémi Casty has largely achieved the goal.
Now a member of the future staff, he said: “I am really happy to be able to join the TO staff for this first season in the Super League and excited at the idea of working alongside Sylvain Houlès, Adam Innes, Christophe Toustou, Jon Green, etc. I will be able to put all my energy into this new project. “
