It isn't an island, you sarky get.... it's a peninsula.

Meanwhile, we and the players are waiting on something happening within the walls of the FFRXIII. Hope nobody is holding their breath.

Easiest would be to field a Catalan/UTC squad coached by Trent, sans etrangers. Won't do our league results much good, but the loss of a week off is a fair trade for French internationals.

Larrant has said that he will announce the new French coach in around 10 days, and that it is likely to be a current SL boss. He also said that the squad for the Wales game will probably be mostly made up of Elite/fringe national team players. www.lindependant.fr/2012/04/24/u ... 133343.php

A current Super League coach? Robinson surely.

Larrant said that he was traveling to England to interview candidates. I doubt it will be Robinson and sincerely hope it isn't him.

Who would be your choice? Nathan Brown, Tony Smith both very good coaches but I'd imagine have little to no knowledge of the French game. A return to pastures old for Mick Potter?

John Kear please, even if he's not a current SL gaffer. Can't see anyone currently in a SL job wanting it or having the time for it.

Looks like Cologni will be coach for this match, of which the team will consist of only LER players.

So the majority of the Catalans squad will get a week's rest.

Would be my choice, but my bet is on Paul "verbiage" Cullen, he probably "speaks" French as well as he does English.

Potter is in the main candidate at the moment

Cologni taking charge of the following rabble for the Wales game:

Arnaud (SOA), Balie, Barthau, Bousquet, Bosc, Cardace, Mounis, Pala, Pelissier, Stacul (Dragons), Bemba, Sopum, Guiraud (ASC), Andrew, Kane, Griffi, Tisseyre (FCL), Carrere, Soubeyras (Pia), Elima (Bradford), Gonzalez-Trique, Larroyer (TO), Masselot, Robin (Villeneuve)

good to see the squad not completely dominated by Dragons for a change!

A by-product of the increased amount of non-Frenchies in the Dragons squad. If more of the non-Dragons were at Super League clubs, it'd be worth celebrating, but it just ain't like that.

Sopum is not a name I have heard before. Anyone know anything about this fella?

Looks like a typo to me

has babelfish/google translate struck again? Tony Leg (Gigot) was always my favourite, Damien Dressmaker always raised a smile too.

Thomas Forest.

Jonathan Soum, Carcassonne. I don't know a lot about the lad - not been keeping up with LER news so much lately

So. I trust our North Wales contingent is going. Divided loyalties or have we lost you to the red side for this one?

12 points up in the closing stages. 28-16

Probably a better result for Wales than France given the relative strength of the teams. Interesting to see Griffi score two. I always liked him when he was at the Dragons.
