Dean Bosnich has quit Pia and is off back home. Benoit Albert takes over as coach and Neale Wyatt has signed on for two more years.

Lyon have taken the drop down to Élite 2, as expected. No word on bringing another side in to replace them. I doubt there's a club strong enough to stomach it.

and apparently Seb Martins has re-signed with Dragons

So 10 teams next year? Or 11 if TO come back ...

It's down to nine at present.

Must .. learn ... to .... count.
10 teams with TO should be okay.

Not sure what TO's plans are in regard to this. I shall endeavour to find out.

and Una Lamelagi to Pia from Villeneuve

James Wynne steps down as FCL coach, but will continue as a player and captain. Aurélien Cologni is the new player/coach with Chris Beattie his assisstant.
I suppose Wynne figures that after two successive championships in his first two years, he can't really top that.

TO looks unlikely to put up a team. They are trying to have a deal with St Gaudens for them to act as reserve (but without being a "reserve"...).

Not a bad first step for them and a way to save a team in trouble. Ideally they would have their own team in the LER, but possibly this cannot be done while they are in the Championship.
