barnyia Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I think it is this season. He played a couple of games last season in tye first team, a couple in elite 2 witg baho and against us in the u 19s. Playing outside pita godinet gave him a good name and scored a few tries at villeneuve. I was surprised he left. He seems to be finding it difficult at the catalans. Maybe he'll get over his numerous injuries, a little worrying at just 20 years old. He was a stand out player at villeneuve at just 18/19 but as i said he played on godinets side of the field.

audois Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Tough on Palau. Can't buy a win but get nearer each week. Villeneuve won it in the dying stages just like Avignon did week before. The minnows left with another 1 point bonus for their efforts.TO Elite killed off by Minga early on. Visitors kept battling away winning the second half. 4 tries to 3 for the hosts.The former Warrington prop Moran grabbed a couple of tries for SOA against FCL. Think they're ratching things up for a late charge come the spring time. Maybe Gigot ready for next week too - home to Albi.

audois Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 St Esteve giving fringe players ago tomorrow at TO Elite. Half a dozen or more changes from last week against Limoux. Interestingly giving the Dragons U18's side a look in. Enzo Colchero and Tanguy Zenon are listed in the group of20. The latter played on the wing earlier against Palau and did OK.
