Qu'est que c'est le 'cap'?

struggling to beat the whipping boys! sacre bleu!

Quelque chose pour les autres!

The Catalans were without Todd Carney, John Zebolon Ta'ia, Michael Oldfield, and Ian Henderson, not to mention blockbusting centre-winger Vincent Duport (out injured for the season), and centre Viliami Sione Tonga. Mind you Frenchman Anthony Gigot from Avignon has been doing very well in the centre, as has Frenchman Mouad Yaha on the wing.

Fortunately they found their rhythm towards the very end, thanks in part to Jason Baitieri and Eloi Pelissier. 32-12

can i wake up yet

How many SL quality outside backs have Hull KR managed since they came up?

Kris Welham, and errrrm...

Your comparing a club from a smallish city that it shares with another SL club to a club with a whole country of jnr development to pick up from? Yep not apples and oranges at all! I'm pretty sure if Hull kR where the only FT professional RL club in Yorkshire we would have quite a few outside backs developed!
Both our starting centres are jnr developed by the way.

But you have 10 SL other clubs and numerous lower league clubs also producing backs. Les Catalans only have themselves.

The fact is that les Catalans have given far more games to French players they have developed than Hull KR have to British ones they have developed.

And for every talented 16 year old in England they have 11 clubs they can sign for. Talented French Jnr has one. There are not eleven times the number of 16 year olds playing in England compared to France ergo harder to bring talent through for an English club than a French club.

So they should they have a whole country of RL juniors to pick from!

Ps I think both hull clubs are failing in Jnr development in Hull. We used to be a major RL Jnr hotbed and regularly produced international level local players. The current systems don't seem to be able to produce the same quality as 30 years ago for some reason.
