Have they received investment? Apparently they outbid Bradford for Royston.

Once again, a small village holds power in French Rugby league. I hope the bigger towns can compete.

Yeah I agree.

I'd rather see these players joining a team like Marseilles to give them a kick start entering the LER if they decided to jump up a few divisions.

Salanque Mediterranean Pia is given how this season of his ambitions.

Good luck to them, maybe they can embarrass some of the 'bigger city teams' into lifting their game...

 

[Ari Gold]

Big cities or small, having players of this calibre running around in the LER will only lift the overall standard. It will be an interesting competition this year that is for sure!
