Some of their fans/volunteers and a laptop don't go together Seriously Palau have it difficult with budget and volunteers and are doing a great job just staying in elite. I wouldn't be certain that they will have adequate internet connection at the ground to live stream either. I have passed through there, which my Perpignan friends advised me was the best thing to do if I couldn't bypass the town ! Can understand connection problems as League 1 club I was investigating options for had such a slow connection I would have been better off drawing pictures and sending by carrier pigeon (to upload a game from there post match would have taken 3-4 hours. 10 minutes from home) ! May be worth them looking at mobile broadband, assuming the locals don't regard mobile phones as the devil's work, as I have MBB as back up in case 'landline' is inadequate (40Gb a month for £8). Sure even Palau had Minitel in the day ?

audois Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 You've got to factor in too - age and experience here. St Esteve basically an 20's side against the Canaris. Two big, strong Pacific island players in Tuilagi and Drodrolagi, Escamilla and Canet both French international forwards the latter with lots of Championship experience with TO X111 along with Lucas Albert and Simon with nearly 200 SL games between them. St Esteve changing their role a bit now under Murphy and Bird. Really asking questions of the youngsters. Their raison d'etre not all about silverware.Perez and Dezaria only ones with experience. Thought both had decent games but the former should have had led better in the closing stages to get the win while the latter got yellow carded for back chat as well as coming up with an excellent try. Brochon at full back a mixed bag wonderfull conversions from the side line but spoilt by his mistake in-goal giving the visitors a 6 point gift. Good to see the backrower Goffin from Villeneuve show up at last with his powerful run and try. Overall though thought the game and presentation excellent. Both sides took a lot from it.

Then Limoux scored straight from the kick-off, after the HT hooter. 10:14 with an easy conversion to come.

But played centre yesterday. I think Carcassonne see him more as a lock but he's not played their much this season.

Northern Eel Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Whilst it’s only one weekend, it has the potential to be quite an impactful one on the development of the league. Carcassone are clearly a strong side and will be a strong contender for the title, winning the game of the round. Palau picked up an excellent and unexpected win (after some close losses) in their fixture and a strongly fancied Lezignan side also lost at home. This can only be a good thing for the league. The fewer predictable outcomes, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJW Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Maybe a daft question but as RLWC doesn't finish till 26th November, will FFR XIII be starting their season later for 2021-22 ?

Doubt any Elite 2 or lower likely to be missing players for RLWC (not impossible I know but not insurmountable if any are). Looking to be in Avignon Thursday 18th November for a certain reason so happy to watch Elite 2 games or lower level.
