It’s difficult to judge Roy, other countries, particularly England, PNG, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa have significantly improved throughout the last 18 years.

However IMO yes the current French team is significantly better than that in the 1990’s.

If there was another European Cup between France, Wales, Scotland and Ireland you would expect France to win comfortably

Now, you moaned like a 20 pence hooker when the multiple account names were directed at you and went crying to the mods.

I suggest the mods verify me as a single username on here (as I have requested multiple times before)

Some anti-French posters raise the question: what good is French rugby league doing for British rugby league?

In today's game between Leigh and Barrow there were four (4) French men


Leigh Centurions: Kevin Larroyer, Jordan Dezaria

Barrrow Raiders: Georgy Gambaro, Arnauld Barthes (on loan from Catalans)


Even at Championship level it makes for a nice cosmopolitan European flavour for northern hemisphere rugby league, which already has Eloi Pelissier at London, Theodore Fages at St Helens, Morgan Escare and Romain Navarette at Wigan, and Gadwin Springer at Castleford.

Are you Phil Clarke? You’re just making things up.

There are no anti-French posters and nobody has ever raised that question.

Or maybe if Catalans played more French players...

How many Hull kr players are from Hull?

You mean English players surely, I mean...you know Hull is a blob of mud on the east coast and isn't actually a country, right ?


That aside, you don't need to be Einstein to figure out there aren't enough RL players of sufficient quality coming out of France to create a team capable of competing in SL, they have a pool of talent playing yawnion so in that respect they've got the jump on Toronto, but tbh, although they do add to the Champs and SL, its pretty poor show given the potential that already exists.

Budgie, surely your mate who’s a mod on the Wigan board can confirm this
