Talking about wingers TO Elite have two teenagers playing in those positions presently Depeyre and Laguerre. The latter though played his first Championship game on the wing at Halixfax. Both depeyre and laguerre look promising. Depeyre looks very nippy and laguerre very tall aerial threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this weekends game away at Limoux the 'Ours' (bears) will play 3 games between in eight days 22nd May to the 30th. It looks like the play-offs will start a week later on the 5th-6th June. Taking the Championship Final to Ernest Wallon on 20th June seems a logical move. The evolving relationship now between ST and TO lends itself to this decision I think. Last played at EW in 2006 Pia - TO (21-18). Think Trent Robinson was involved in that game player-coach? Elsewhere Hakim Miloudi signing for Barrow. He gets around a bit. Recently at Hull FC, Doncaster and Toronto. Any fans allowed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audois Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Well they've reached the last round of matches this weekend before the play-offs not taking into account the postponed matches - better than 2020 when the comp was closed down early. Elite 1 has done well overall. The streaming and the quality of it - a major promotional break through too. Round 18 fixture to follow tomorrow with Villeneuve/Lot hosting St.Esteve the game of the round. Baby Dracs caught out last week at home to Avignon. Maybe leaves them now having to win there and at Lezignan next weekend. Good to see this fixture at Villeneuve to be covered by ViàOccitanie at 2.00pm GMT. Half-back problems could now be a problem for comp favorities Carcassonne with both Lucas Albert and Herroro struggling for fitness presently. Villeneuve have got Robin and Godinet back in harness in the halves while SOA missing both Jouffret and Gigot. Will these issues decide the out-come one wonders late June at Ernest-Wallon?

audois Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Great to see these three games streamed - jumping one to the other all afternoon. The youngsters from St Esteve struggled in the downpour up at Villeneuve. Catalans down 14-0 early on. Still came back well late on with two well taken tries by their back-line. This lad Jobe is worth a look at. Normally plays centre but out on the right wing for this one and took his leap high in the rain with some style for their first try.The other winger Zenon from the clubs U18s side has appeared a few times this term and he got their second try and performed well in the difficult conditions. 2 tries a piece upon till Robin scored late-on for the home side with a super individual effort. A the other end of the ladder TO Elite brought their season to a close at home to the comp leaders Carcassonne. 2021 has seen some improvement with Laguerre and Garcia having played in the Championship. Light years behind Baby Dracs who have developed over fifteen years bringing in youngsters from far and wide. Against the comps top team Carcassonne showed up well losing away 24-22 and Saturday at home 12-20. Slowly but surely.

Carre looks to be well built as well which should help in their favour of progressing possibly into the Catalan 1st team which I’m sure has held players like Franco and the flovie twins back in recent years.

audois Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It's been some time I think since all three of the Aude clubs finished on the podium together - as it stands presently. Only St Esteve can spoil the party at Stade Moulin come Sunday. FCL-Catalans reservers a quarter final before the quarter finals being built-up as such. The home side with half a dozen former Dragons players against the Apprentices of today. Hoping for a 1,000 crowd to see it. St Esteve have been on the podium virtually all season long but slipped up in the last fortnight losing to Avignon and Villeneuve/Lot (5th and 6th respectively). The outsiders from Aquitaine and Provence coming up on the rails. I think one of the best play-off series in view since some time - hopefully. Would be good to see a decent crowd at Ernest Wallon in Toulouse in late June.
