ATLANTISMAN Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 9 hours ago, The Daddy said: Feedback from me to forward onto Mr Lacoste: Minimum standards for Elite One should consist of: - Clearly visible and professional pitch markings with grass trimmed to appropriate level - Elite One social media accounts created and pushing out content on Twitter, Facebook, Tik Tok, Instagram, every club should have an account and creating content also - Elite One match highlights of each game on Elite One You tube channel - All games to be produced by a single production company or the Federation and shown on an Elite One YouTube channel or a single, easily identifiable platform - Professional multi camera broadcast quality match day presentation of selected Elite One matches. (Better to have one or two high quality productions than 5 poorly filmed games) - Every game broadcast must have commentary, display the score, game clock and tackle count - Modern advertising hoardings around the pitch These quick wins will make a huge difference to the credibility of the competition ALL on the list the key as always is cost, however we will do our best target is min of 7 matches this year Qtr Semis and Final which is doable.

audois Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Good having ten sides now though. This R2 gave us something we haven't had in a long time. Over all the losing sides averaged 18 points with the winners 26 across the board. St Gaudens who won just one game last season turning over Lezignan Champions in 2021.With Mitch Garbutt in charge turned over a HT 6-16 to win 30-20 against a side with Maloney and Baitieri on board Toulouse Elite1 lost at home to Avignon but lost three players injured including two players who featured for France 'B' last week in Marguerite and Biscarro. The younger Miloudi - Amine featured well at full back for Avignon too.

Tosh Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 By the looks of things it appears that the dragons are running with a more youthful and inexperienced team these days. Is this their stated approach these days? Having an emphasis leaning more towards the development of their younger players over results in the elite1 competition?

barnyia Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Yes a very young team, Already a couple of bad injuries, it's fine blooding a couple of young lads in an experienced team but almost all the xiii Catalan team is under 20/21, There's some big physical players in elite 1, it's almost dangerous, yes they want to toughen them up and find the best and to try to get them ready for super League but players safety should come into it too. They train every day but the props are not even 90kgs. It could be a very long season for them unless they get a hand from the Catalan squad players in January, the players that used to play with xiii Catalan and train/play with the super League team have almost all left, cozza, salabio, vailhan, Le cam etc 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dragons seem to have lurched too far in terms of the average age of the team makeup which you rightly say is physically dangerous for the young lads who are not yet developed and matured physically. btw what teams are cozza. Salabio, le cam and vailhan playing for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnyia Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Vailhan is at Pia, cozza, salabio, are pushing for super League or championship I heard , le cam has been contacted by rugby union but hasn't decided. Cozza and le cam may get some offers after the world cup. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if 4 French contracted squad players have left the dragons will there places be taken up by 4 new French players promoted from the elite1 reserve side or u19’s team or maybe even from other elite1 teams?

audois Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) See that the Dragons reserve set-up is linking up with the Elite 2 Ille club just up the river. Maybe to give everybody game time.

Hvy wg Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I do wonder if Ille would beat St Esteve or not as it stands. Its nonsense having those underweight guys as props and it shows how small our player pool is. Those guys should not be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to COVID and the u19s teams being stopped from playing for a couple of years the elite 1 player standard pool is getting even smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
