You know to be honest, I think the less input England has on the French, the better.


I've always felt the French "get" how to play this game. I think they have always understood some of the finer points of the game, even if their talent or even their player pool hasn't been capable of playing to the level needed.

I think where France lets itself down is in training, and thats a French thing really in all sports.

I think its interesting that Catalans have no gone to England to look for imports, to me thats a good sign. They have always looked to the NRL, or Australia, even for its coaches.


I think if they have the reason to be fully professional, thats being more SL teams, they will do the job themselves.

It's great to see the development of the PI teams, and i've been really impressed with how France have come on (show's how important Catalans are to RL).

We need a lot more international games for the sport to develop, and they need to be televised via something other than Murdoch's empire.

Fair play mate, sorry.

No worries pal



As I said, It's PNG's tournament.

PNG beat Tonga 44-14 to set up a game with the Cooks next week. Menzie Yere scored two tries for the Kumuls.
