There's still at a squad of 30, that will be cut down to 21 I think, with quite a few that play elite every week, even in a super league squad with Guillermo, Jammes, rostang, garrigues, I'd say at least 1/2 of the 30 play regularly in elite 1,
Do you think that most of the ones mentioned will be coming from Catalans & Toulouse ?
-
The French U19 team which will play an England team soon could take on these players :
Catalans 8
Toulouse 4
Carcassonne 2
-
Did you remember the Catalans U19 team beat every team 17-0 - with two teams took one hundreds. At Stade Gilbert Brutus Sunday afternoon following the Carcassonne - FCL Final came the France Luc Nitard for the U19s with Catalans up against Toulouse. In the league Toulouse fell like the the others - a bit better losing at St Esteve 36- 16 but the game at Toulouse hammered at home 6- 52 like the others.
Well there sides at their teeth in the end Toulouse won 24-25 !!

thNice to see an all French 1/6/7 and the team playing so well all round.
Will be for France game against England on June 29th?
-
The first 2 were in the Elite 1 twenty years ago - VARL the Carcassonne reserves presently like ILlE both never reached the top I think. Villefranche will be back in the top next year I understand

I'm not sure of the reason you have done this comparison, please could you explain?
If you are comparing Catalans to a British club, wouldn't it make more sense to be another of the top SL clubs who run reserves (akin to Catalans' Elite 1 team) and an academy?
York, I believe, have also begun running a wheelchair team recently.
The two clubs very different & maybe more different than the rest
-
Catalans Dragons
Super League 30 players
Elite 28 players
Juniors U19 28
Women 15 (Seven playing for France)
Wheelchair 10 (European Champions 2O24)
*1OO in total
York
Championship
Squads
Knights 32
Valkyriee Womens 26 (didn't know the name from Nordic history)
U19s 25
Total for women 50

Both of these sides did well in distance ways - Toulouse Elite 1 need to get moving

A very good match at Pia - they've gone better and better as they have gone along this year. Captain Guasch is just one of the number of players who have played for the Catalans Dragons - some recently Jullian, Baitier and Whare, the last one a famous NZ centre.
Albi played without Gigot - keeping for the last four games.
Else where U19 Elite were running down with the Dragons youngsters with a 92 - 4 Lezignan win - they had two games over in the season over two hundred. Two matches saw Carcassonne go down at home against Villeneuve/Lot 6-70 when the first team won later 50-28 later. Toulouse first team finished bottom against Limoux at home 54- 14 while the home youngsters beat the vistors side 80-6. There is something in this thing down the line

Carcassonne will have played in 7 out of the last 7 finals that have been played, lord derby and play offs.
Alan - do you see Albi change that this year led by the wonderful Tony Gigot!
After all Albi beat them twice in the league and no other side did that

Any news in the local press of what their injuries are and how long they might be out, Gordon? I cannot see anything on Les Dracs' website.
I don't know the injuries of the four - and now two other's as well with Johnstone and Abdull. Steve McNamare is really showing his skill and what ever!

Highlights.
Interesting here the Catalans brought up a lad from the U19s Maxime Masuaute a threequarte and was won of the 4 tries. Carcassonne raised away early on but 5 tries to 4 was the younger Baby Drags showed up well

Steve McNamara left 7 playes last season. Keighrans, Chan, May, Pearce, Whitley, Goudemand and Tomkins - some job to do in 2024. Looking this weekend against Saints, who turned Wigan over last week, as well. Dezaria, Sironen, McIlorum and Bousquet also injured after Warrington.
First time too for Catalan Dragons to play 72 minutes with 'une épine dorsale 100% française' - Da Costa - Garcia - Fages - Rouge - Mourgue.
Come the 29 June is it when England play France in Toulouse some play could be diffrent - well not the same as Warrington or Leigh last year. Lets see.

Carcassonne got the first place even if Albi have a two games. More likely the other 4 could gain - Limoux have only one game at Toulouse while FCL has TO at home with St Esteve away - unlikey. Pia coming on the railings having Avignon away and home with Albi.

The France 19s play the England academy for a one off match in early July, then it's the European cup in Belgrade, then I've heard the Aussie schoolboys may be over this winter,
Alan it looks decent for this year anyway - what teams are in the Eurpean competition
-
Getting the Catalans U19 along with Toulouse U19 may be together to play some English sides home and away should be possible
Do the France U19s presently play every year against the England team home and away

IO4-6
36-16 *
52-10
68-4
40-14
- 5 To go -
* Nearest to Toulouse Olymique
Something not right
Down Under I think they are starting with NSW/Queensland and NZ groups together
Could Catalans U19 play some English sides Wigan, St Helens, Hull FC/ KR joined, Leeds, West Leeds etc
Or France U19s play an England team 3 times a year

The latter could be level with the added team.It will be interesting with the other 4 I think. Pia & St- Esteve have both beaten FCL. and Limoux are not the team of last year .

I assume it is because Oldham's current IMG grade is 7.39, putting them in 25th place out of 35 clubs.
Even with playing at Boundary Park and having a few successful years in the Championship, without the advantages built into the system that are gained from being in Super League, it will be one helluva task to gain an A grade or make it into the top 12 places.
How many years did they have at the start of SL?

What a day at Lezignan for the Villefranche from the Aveyron county up north. What is it 20 years back or more . Wonderful fans from there in the red/blue. Is it certain that they will be in the Elite 1 coming next September?
