  1. He is someone who gave a lot of hope to the French treizistes. We hoped to move towards more professionalization, take advantage of its relationships to develop partnerships, communication, etc. If we can sum up his action: in the positive, he helped to renew the dialogue between the FFR13 and the international bodies. But the results in other areas are very meager, even disappointing. The World Cup, a professional championship made up of major cities, TV contracts, relations with the Catalans Dragons etc. His orientations and his intentions were not compatible with the situation of rugby league in France.
  2. The French treizistes we live in the myth of Murdoch and a savior who would come with a wave of a magic wand to allow us to find the glorious past and to compare ourselves again with the other rugby. Very regularly we have unrealistic or wacky projects (Dayan Project, National Technical Center, Sharks, Toulon etc.) which are supposed to allow us to develop. But in fact, we don't have any serious studies on our sport, we don't even know what our strengths and weaknesses are ! we don't have a serious and professional approach to the development of our sport, we are content either to copy the ideas of other nations, or to launch projects in a totally empirical way. I thought that was going to change with Lacoste, which was going to bring us methods from the professional world and big finance: market studies, catchment areas, statistics, etc. In the end, in addition to being sorcerer's apprentices, they have a total ignorance of the functioning of our sport and its basis.
  3. it is not the fault of the French politicians but the economic model which was totally unrealistic. The treizist cities cannot afford to pay €200,000. how do you expect us to find 40 small towns with no treizist culture that will pay?
  4. More informations about the situation : https://www.lindependant.fr/2023/05/12/coupe-du-monde-de-rugby-a-xiii-inquietudes-autour-de-france-2025-11192042.php#lhkxhsoxglsedqrmpqw
  5. It was in 2013, 17500 in Avignon for France - New Zealand. To return to the subject, I think that in England you do not have a fair vision of the situation of rugby league in France. If we do not succeed in organizing this World Cup, it will be a total failure for the federation, since all the development projects were conditioned by this RLWC which was to be the driving force behind the revival of rugby league in France. In France, there is an expression: "we put all our eggs in one basket". Let's not forget that the national rugby league center project that was launched has been discreetly buried, that there is no development project for the national championship, that the base of our pyramid is inexorably shrinking, etc., etc. If you want to help us, you English and international authorities of our sport, you must help us to develop our championship so that it becomes fully professional. the Dragons and Toulouse will not help our discipline to grow on our territory.
  6. recently a city (Bergerac) announced that it will host the World Cup. Is this proof of dynamism or just a desperate attempt to unblock the situation? I do not have the answer. Avignon, which has been one of the biggest crowds in recent years (match France - NZ), refused to pay the entry ticket which was €200,000.
  7. too ambitious a project. we do not have the human and financial means to manage 3 competitions. the federal team is at best utopian at worst sellers of dreams as we say in France (promise things that we can not do)
  8. according to a player on the field, the 6 takes a punch because he caught his balls
  9. Lezignan vs Saint Gaudens full match
  10. The images have gone around the English media beyond this behavior, it is true outrageous, I would like to understand why it came out of its hinges ? It also seems that S.Crismanovich the blue coach raised a problem of able-bodied players in the England team and his post-match interview was cut short on the BBC. I wonder if there is a connection between these two elements ? Are we just sore losers or is there a real problem! I also saw a video where the referee gives a try while the other two referees are against this decision. https://twitter.com/andrewfoster101/sta ... k4vG8iI_dg Weird all that!
  11. I hope he will come up with something and it will work. the previous president also had a crazy project (dayan project). my feeling is that we must first develop the practice in oil stain from the areas where it is played. it is necessary to target cities with potential and where there is little competition and if possible to develop clubs of city communities. The perfect example would be to develop Salon de Provence and call this team Metropole Provence (it would then represent the metropolis of Marseille). I am also in favor of the development of a French team in New Caledonia on the model of the PNG Hunters or the Kaiviti Silktails of Fiji
  12. I have already explained it several times here but the French sports and political system is completely different from the English system. the current Elite1 championship as a semi-amateur competition depends on the support of the mayors. if we want to change the system either we will have to have clubs representing the community of municipalities / agglomeration or find 1 very rich patron in each city. if this constraint is carried out, remains the problem of the players. French rugby league does not have enough young players without forgetting that to create teams in cities where there is nothing like Bordeaux or Toulon, we will also have to find volunteers! wanting to create a professionnal championship from scratch is a negation of French sporting history and for me a utopian challenge. a year or two ago you published promotional newspaper articles praising the famous Montpellier Sharks, I invite you instead to come and see how a real club works in France
  13. Corey Norman will join James Maloney https://www.fcl13.fr/corey-norman-a-signe/
  14. For now the president is talking a lot but no one has heard or seen anything concrete. I understand that the World Cup project is important but there is a lack of communication with the clubs. Regarding Pia, we must not forget that politically despite its proximity to Perpignan, this city is not part of the Perpignan agglomeration. At the time, they were thus able to take advantage of specific funding from the inter-municipality which has many activity areas on its territory. I think we should be delighted with Pia's return to Elite. This team will always have more resources than Baho or Palau to allow players like Jullien to continue playing rugby league in Elite1. Regarding the crowds, I think there were good crowds in Limoux and Lezignan, in Carcassonne it seemed meager and difficult to get an idea in Albi but they are on a good dynamic. An average of 1000 spectators seems correct to me for this first day.
  15. serbia ahead of france? this ranking is a joke
  16. Apart from the recruitment of this player-coach, there is not much info. The club does not seem to be getting stronger.
  17. However, this is the current eligibility rule. And it also applies to maintain his eligibility ! In the future, we can expect less rigid rules for heritage players and that we look for the nationality of great-grandparents and no longer just parents and grandparents. These rules will end up burying the last hopes of French rugby league
  18. Kheirallah was eligible due to residency rule. For him to still have the right to wear the French jersey, he should reside in France for 210 days (7 months) in the year preceding the selection. This will not be the case at the end of the year. I repeat it often, but the latest changes in the eligibility rules were not favorable to France but were intended to promote the emergence of heritage nations with the aim of artificially raising the international level to also increase TV rights in the pacific zone. France is therefore condemned to fight to try to beat nations like Lebanon, Greece, the USA, Italy etc.
  19. I don't want to talk nonsense but I think that the bandas (the brass bands) were commissioned by the clubs of Limoux and Carcassonne
  20. As a Frenchman, I find it important that you can have realistic information to have a real overview of the situation. I remain convinced that France and the development of its solid national championship is the key to the development of the discipline in Europe much more than other wacky projects that the media tend to put forward. I hope a team will represent our country in the Challenge Cup, we have so many good memories with Lezignan whether in Rochdale, Widnes, Barrow, Whitehaven or Workington. I take this opportunity to congratulate on this forum Barnya who is champion of France Elite and one of his sons champion of France in the U15 category.
  21. 5 years of résidency according to the éligibility rules
  22. new hair analyzes were able to prove that the taking of drugs was not the day of the match, so only recreational use could be retained. I understand Barnye your positioning more moral than legal. but if we stay on the same plan we should ban parties after matches or beers during matches which do more damage in rugby than any drugs. if we stay on this moral point, what should we say about clubs that sign a racist player or even a player suspected of pedophilia? what poses a problem is the fact that this story is publicized because for me these drug problems must remain private
  23. Hello Live this sunday 2pm Lezignan - Toulouse on facebook page https://www.facebook.com/fcl13 and lezignan's website https://www.fcl13.fr/
