Big plug for French RL in today's Guardian

[BadlyOverdrawnBoy]

Rarely any RL and never seen any French report before, but this was on the "front page" along with the season postponement news.

Wonderful stuff I will forward to the FRL press officer:)

Brilliant article. I do enjoy the standard of French league and although it's not massive over in France they are a passionate community 

[Hela Wigmen]

Enjoyed the French stuff I’ve watched so far. The coverage has been good, as has been the quality of the footage via YouTube.

Fantastic to see, always thought it would be good to encourage pre-season/ post-season tours (at all levels from Super League to u10s) to France to boost the game there

[Hela Wigmen]

Just wondering how much it’s costing the home teams to show these games via YouTube? I wonder if there are some League One/amateur teams keeping an eye on this for beyond 2021. 

[ATLANTISMAN]

Just pinged it across to Jean-Charles Tolza who is in charge of media relations for the FRL:)

Very good article in a prestigious paper !

It's a pity , we could not read the same in french leading papers

 

 

[Man of Kent]

Tres bon. Gavin Willacy at his best. 

[Jim from Oz]

Is Via Occitanie Still showing games? I thought they had stopped showing them all of a sudden?

[Clogiron]

Excellent article, another gold star for Mr. Willacy.

Just removed three quarters of the posts in this thread because they were off topic and veering towards people making political points.

If you want to make a political point, do it in the politics sub forum, not in the RL forum, otherwise it will simply be removed on sight, so you're wasting you're energy typing it in the first place.

Thanks for your co-operation.
