I imagine the soccer and the rugby would make headlines , does the Catalans achievement get much recognition? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quick tip for Antipodeans. This sentence would benefit from the inclusion of the word "Union" somewhere. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand, the use of the word "soccer" is spot on. 3 1 Quote "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone but PSG will do though. Edited August 16 by Eddie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet they can afford, I think I heard $400 000 at short notice to sign him and he has now extended for another year. Jimmy Maloney and Sam Tomkins wouldn`t be cheap either. Somebody is putting a fair bit of money into this Club and must have a fair bit of faith in them despite your pessimistic prognostications. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
audois 2,117 Report post Posted August 18 (edited) Hearing that USAP the Perpignan union team have received permission from the district council to have an 8000 crowd for their pre-season game next week. Their ground has a capacity of 15000.Who knows maybe Dragons can follow suit with a figure exceeding the 5000 in September when Leeds and Wigan come over. Fingers crossed.

The question if you read it isn`t really about Israel Folau but why you consider the Dragons to be irrelevant and yet in your last post you seem to be a supporter.
