    Wartovo Puara and Thompson Teteh named in Souths Line-up

    Just heard that PNG duo Wartovo Puara and Thompson Teteh have been named on (an extended) bench for the Rabbitoh's 'Return to Redfern' match against the Northern Pride on 14 February. http://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2015/02/10/rabbitohs_team_for_2.html Hopefully they get a chance to impress.

    The French Invasion

    Article about the French players in Super League (and Championship)... I hadn't heard of this John Boudebza before. It is interesting to note that 60% of the Catalans squad is French (so 15 out of 25 - I think the actual figure is 13). I can only assume they have no overseas player quota...

    Alexander Mickalezyk - Limoux Junior to Roosters in 2015

    Probably more of Trent Robinson's influence at play here. Alexander Mickalezyk, a 17 year old Limoux junior, will be spending (or has just spent, the translation suggests both for some reason :?) two months training with the Roosters in 2015... Anyway, here's the (hilarious) translated...

    Nationalities in Super League in Last Round

    Interesting stuff from Andy Wilson... Though his figures don't quite add up (it's one over) - this is the composition of last round's SL players... 152 British (incl. 8 Southerners) 53 Australians 22 NZ/Islanders 10 French 2 PNGeans Total: 239 (should add up to 238)... So, 64% British (up...

    Skolars Sign Two Frenchmen

    Two Carcassonne players heading to Skolars... with 2 more to come apparently. I thought Skolars were relying on local talent these days? Though it's good to see the LER players getting a chance to keep playing outside the French domestic season...

    Toulouse v 'Fax

    I have it on good authority that Nathan Wynn will almost certainly be back for this match in Toulouse on Saturday night. He apparently was out with a hamstring strain (as opposed to the shoulder dislocation he suffered two weeks ago).
