    I had to Google Pamiers - population 16,000, looks like they’ve just moved up to Elite 2 though the ground doesn’t look much more than a field. 

    They've a second'ground in the town which is pretty good, the France A and  b fixtures have been written into the super xiii callender, there's a game v Ukraine for the b team I think, a game for the presidents 13 v Catalan and a Saturday night  of rugby league, but i don't know if that's a type of magic weekend or a presentation evening, the 9s are to be played the same day as the grand final 2nd June, 

    The 19s are touring Australiaat the end of this month (funded by each player via sponsorship) v roosters u19s, v a college team, then the schoolboys in gold coast,

  2. The ref probably thought the state of origin rules apply in the championship, we have a massive problem here in France for that, players, fans and staff watch french rl (one set of rules/interpretations) super league/championship and nrl on tv and each comp has different rules and interpretations so fans get annoyed at the ref as they think they're getting it wrong on the field in France, even some supporters mix up union rules (deliberate knock on/pass knock down) as a yellow card in union and scream at the ref. 

    My team lost a game last season v xiii catalans, the game went to golden point, the 4th official said to me  it's 5 minutes each way ( i was surprised) we had the ball 20 metres out on the 2nd tackle, the 4th official grabbed the hooter to blow half time in extra time, so we screamed go for the drop. We missed and the ball went dead,  he blew the hooter we walked onto the field to speak to the players, the ref came over and said sorry the 4th official got it wrong and it's 10 minutes each way, "it's not the nrl" so we all left the field, catalans restarted with a 20m tap and 7 tackles, they went down the field and kicked a drop on the last tackle, if the 4th official hadn't blown we would have had 3 more tackles to set up property or even score, happens i suppose, it cost us a home quarter final in the play offs, 

  3. Over here in france they brought in the rule that anyone on the bench sent off you have to remove a player from the pitch. Even if it's the water carrier, coach or substitute. If a brawl broke out amd subs ran on they'd be red carded and the team would have to remove 4 players etc

    What position/how old is he?

     

    He started on the wing then went to centre, for the moment he's more of a winger, he's not started filling out yet, i think he'll start as a winger and finish up centre or second row in a few years, still very raw. The full time environment will help him progress and is exactly what he needed,

  5. Yes that's true, it's a chance for him to train every day as a pro with the dragons and improve, the playing against Lézignan with st Estève was putting him off. But he needs to go there or he would have started to stagnate at lezignan with just 3 sessions a week and a full time job.
