Quote ="bramleyrhino"Lots of stuff I agree with
The structures that were in place at Les Catalans pre-Super League will be a world away from what they are now. It isn't going to start producing a "production line" of talent straight away.'"
I remember talking to Foti whilst the LL were in St Esteve, he was saying that registration in the youth teams at St Esteve were 3 times what they were the year before. If that trend continues then it's a matter of time until we start to see more players emerging from the Catalan system.
It'd be interesting to see what the youth set ups of Carcassonne etc are like compared to the Pre SL presence in the region.
