An Aussie lad has popped up now too on their Facebook page. Apparently just signed for them
-
Somebody wrote English in the other posts
sorry British lads
-
They where 13 actual players the English lads have gone home, a visa problem they said but i read somewhere that they where promised work and all they helped them do was to sign up with an agency and they never found any work for them,

If I remember rightly Marseille where fast tracked into elite 1 a few years ago and never finished the season. They tried to implant a union club in Marseille and even signed Jonah lomu. It didn't last long.

I'm not going to defend Montpellier's forfeits (which are both very concerning, especially so early in the season) and I can't talk to what promises they may had made to the FFRXIII and may have broken, however I do want to say that from a Pacifique Treize perspective they have met every promise they made from a financial / contra and pathways perspective.
Encouraging to hear, I think the owner burned his bridges with a lot of the rugby league playing community when most of the players never got paid or given what they where promised, so no one will risk taking a playing licence at lattes Montpellier.
It could be a great opportunity for RL playing students from bigger clubs to get free accommodation and a bit of spending money whilst playing RL and studying, but it's too big of a risk with this club,
I loved my time at Montpellier, some of the best times of my life and still have lots of good friends from there, but I got everything I was promised from the other Montpellier club ( although not everyone did!) It's definitely a great place to live for a few years as a young lad!

He's only 17 years old the cannon ball!

They're looking to set up a partnership with the AS corbières team, a team of Lézignan gypsies, one or two could play elite 2 but the rest are just there to play with their family and friends.
Was it a travel visa problem or a visa bank card that didn't have any money for them? Poor lads!

What's the reach of the channel? What regions do they broadcast in?
Think of made in Leeds channel on UK TV, you have to look and really want to find the channel to find it, it's hidden amongst the other hundreds of channels only people who are interested in the certain subject watch, it covers the Occitanie region on TV, it's also on the internet.

He is playing with a lot of experienced pro’s. Peyroux, Pellisier, Garbutt, Ford, Kheirellah as well as Casty if he has another go.
If he gets a bit more stamina he’ll be a French international regular.
Isnt Houles a good enough coach? Genuine question as I’ve never been to see him coach the team.
From what I've read and seen he's a good coach who has a different philosophy than alot of other coaches, he's not the copy and paste type of coach.

But only 3 foreign players against 6 in your new club . We will not say that Carcassonne is a Country.RL team
Belmas set to sign in Superleague and Moa has injury with lengthy unavailability
That's why Carcassonne wanted me to translate for all the foreign players
, I need to learn Fijian next.
I'm not criticising Lézignan, Carcassonne would probably do the same if they had the money, they spoke to baitieri but couldn't come close to his offer from Lézignan,
It shows the the benefit that the Catalans are having on elite and French RL,
We have 5 or 6 players from Perpignan at Carcassonne too,
The Carcassonne players are looking forward to playing against players like Maloney and inu. I'm sure the ex pro players will be a great influence on the younger players, I just hope all the good work the youth section does doesn't go to waste meaning younger players don't get a chance or end up leaving the club.

This was discussed at the last referee and elite 1 coaches meet up, the coaches said the fact that one team played the ball correctly and one didn't meant that the elite 1 team found the speed of the defence and the attack completely different, the speed of the play the ball is minimal but the Catalans moved up as soon as the player went to place the ball on the floor , elite moved up when the ball had gone through the legs,

In France you have to touch it with your foot, same in Australia
So it's only the UK refs who will have to adjust.

The play the balls are the same in Australia and France domestic league ,you have to touch it with your foot.

Papua New Guinea beat GB last year so an upset could happen, hopefully it'll be a close game.

There's talk that the Catalans are trying to convince Maloney to do another year

I have a feeling the Catalan fitness coach will end up at the dolphins with Bennet
-
they've a decent support but I've never seen a full stand like that when I've been with Lézignan.

Any ideas as to why Joe Chan hasn't been picked? It's a decent (and young) French squad really considering their 3 best players are injured but they look short in the second row.
I'd guess he isn't qualified as French yet, they left the country for a few years, or he doesn't want to be French.

Nowhere near his big brother in playing standards!

I'll be going to the game I reckon.

Montpellier Sharks
in The General Rugby League Forum
Posted
The sharks started the game with 13 players with the president in the team, they soon became 12 and the game abandoned with 5 minutes to play when they had less than 9 fit players.
