The Carcassonne versus Baho friendly the other week showed a new style from the Canaries under Luc Mendes. Only a friendly I know, played in four quarters, but there was a step change in their approach from last year with off loading and movement of the ball being the order of the day. Much like Limoux last year. Anything but the dull as ditchwater approach from Carca and FCL last year.... Long may it continue.

thanks for the Morse music timtum - couldn't make head nor tail of it !

Villeneuve tried offloading and long passing under Julien R and looked great at times though were frequently caught out by inaccurate passing (losing Chris Feather for many of their games didn't help),but at least they tried to be more enterprising - pity JR won't be there this season to continue the trend...
Of the LER matches I watched last season most were bog standard fare,here's hoping for more enterprise this time around.
