I'm not going to see my team play in France. Can I watch the game on TV/the internet? No. Not legally anyway. And we don't even know how to do it illegally, so don't even ask.
Are there any bars in Perpignan? Many. What are you after? There's an Irish bar if you like that sort of thing, O'Shannon's, and a sports bar just off Place Arago that seems quite lively and popular among the rugby fraternity. If you want something more sedate, just go and have a look round - there's loads. And most places are used to an influx of English every couple of weeks or so, although having a go in French never hurts.
What about restaurants? Loads of them too. We've reviewed a few on sang-et-or.net. Have a look in the 'Perpignan' section. If you have a review you wish to submit, then PM John_D.
I wish to congratulate the Dragons on beating some other team. What should I do? Then contribute to thread dedicated to the particular game. There's always at least one.
You're just a team full of Australians and shouldn't be in the league And you're Garry Schofield. We could enter into a debate about relative numbers of overseas players in each squad, but Puig-Aubert did it ages ago so you don't have to.
Why doesn't Maxime Grésèque play for the Dragons? You know, you can't force people to play for a given club, even if the player is French and there's only one French side in Super League. Besides, maybe the coaching staff don't particularly rate him or, however unlikely this seems, the player has already burned his bridges with the club management.
What's the French word for ...? Try wordreference.com for general queries. There's some basic rugby league French here.
Go on Les Cats! Dragons. Not Cats. Not now. Not ever.
What was my team's support like in France? It was ace and probably better than whichever team you prefer to compare yourselves with.
I will keep this updated as we go. More soon punters!
Is the game my team play in France on TV? Yes. Sport+. See above.
Will pointless and/or duplicated threads be locked? Yes

That's quite alright. It's a bit annoying and something of a missed opportunity, I feel. Perhaps if there is real evidence of suitable demand, the club could be persuaded.

With none of your home games being on UK TV I'm surprised more people haven't asked for them
Then again we won, so I guess there's more than your average interest this week!

I've had plenty people ask over the last 18 months or so. Reckon I'll raise it with someone responsible for that type of thing next time I see him.
What channel is the games on and does this channel operate throughout the Catalan region or the rest of Europe, the reason I ask is i am off to Ibiza and wondered with most speaking Catalan wether there would be any coverage over there?
Many thanks
This is Poorhouse Lane. And this is Neil, the rovers supporter who leads an exciting double life. For when Neil sponsors RLFANS an amazing transformation occurs. Neil is Cabbageman. Ever alert for the call no injury too small! //www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cabbage%20Man

It's Sport+. As far as I'm aware it only broadcasts to France. Could be worth asking in a couple of places, but I don't fancy your chances.
