3 titles in 3 seasons with James Wynne as player-coach; he's done a great job

Aurélien Cologni is the coach this time around. Wynne stepped down from coaching to concentrate on playing in his last year.

OK - didn't know that. It seems that Wynne is going back to Australia now, in any case, as are Beattie & Quinn.

Seems to be some speculation in the papers here that Lézignan may take some big games to Narbonne next season and that they are still looking to play in England.

I certainly think that should TO reach Super League, there's a vacancy for a French club at Championship level. The Aude region seems the obvious choice and word was regarding a combined club of the three big sides there playing out of the Albert Domec in Carcassonne. I'm not sure that either could stand alone, but on the playing front, FCL's credentials are second to none.

Seen the first half - the pundits are really pro ref, agree with his decisions and when they don't refuse to admit it! Would like to see the same in the UK.

Good stuff, really enjoyed watching that.

Good stuff that. I especially liked the commentary team saying "the fans should stop booing the Ref as he's doing an excellent job"

Is it just me who thinks the presenter bears a slight resemblance to a certain Mr Dobson?

Looks nothing like the Hull KR and ex-Dragons and Wigan half-back.
