End to French Resistance
Les Catalans start strong in taking Super League to the French heartland, says David Lawrenson.
Les Catalans got the new Super League season off to a spectacular start with an incredible 38-30 victory over the Wigan Warriors in Perpignan. Led by their inspirational captain Stacey Jones, they showed great heart and character to come from behind and snatch victory in the final minutes.
Rugby league in this country has found it hard to establish itself on the national sporting stage, but that is nothing to what their French counterparts have had to endure in just over 70 years of turmoil.
Jean Galia, a rugby union international, introduced league in France in 1934 after watching a game between England and Australia in Paris the previous year.
The game prospered in the ensuing years, particular in the south, but the Second World War was to prove disastrous. In one of the most shameful acts ever witnessed in sport, rugby league was outlawed by the Vichy government and had all its funds confiscated.
Under the right-wing agenda of Marshal Petain, professional sport was to be banned, although only rugby league felt the full force of the new legislation.
The fact that even amateur rugby league was banned led to a long-held belief that the rugby union authorities had used their influence to kill off the sport.
Mike Rylance, in The Forbidden Game, his thought-provoking book on the subject, questioned the late Jean Borotra, a former Wimbledon champion who was appointed by the Vichy government to run a department known as the Commissariat General à L'Education Generale et Sportive, a section of the Ministry of Family and Youth.
Borotra recalled 'the banning of rugby league was decided, in 1941, by the director of sports, who was a union player, and who was convinced that the disappearance of rugby league would favour the development of rugby.'
Rugby à Treize, as it was known, never recovered and continued to be the very poor relation of rugby union - so much so that even before union went open in 1995, they could not afford to hang on to their best players in the face of the financial inducements of clubs from the supposedly amateur code.
Thanks to Les Catalans, the Treizistes can at last look forward to a brighter future. They are not the first French club to grace Super League - Paris Saint-Germain kicked off the summer era with a famous victory over the Sheffield Eagles in 1996, but that hastily cobbled together venture only lasted two years.
Rugby league, more than any other sport, thrives on support from the community and a strong local identity. The Paris side had neither, they were not in rugby's heartland, were dominated by overseas players and the infrastructure was non-existent.
All lessons the new club have taken on board. They will be based in Perpignan in the heart of rugby country in the south and their entry into Super League has been carefully planned over a number of years.
In 2000, two local clubs, XIII Catalan and St Esteve, merged to form Union Treiziste Catalane (UTC), no small achievement given that according to local sources it was akin to Wigan joining with St Helens.
Perpignan is in the Catalan region of France, which has its own culture and language, so calling the new club Les Catalans taps into a very strong cultural identity.
Unlike the Paris venture the emphasis is on using homegrown players - 17 of the 25-man squad are French, including Jerome Guisset, who has top-flight experience with Canberra, Warrington and Wigan, and the exciting back-rower Jamal Fakir.
There is an infrastructure in place that should produce a steady stream of talented players, the Catalan region boasting 15 clubs with 1,000 players. Three full-time academies have been set up to ensure that young players get the right coaching and training early in their careers.
But not everything has gone to plan. Work to upgrade their Gilbert Brutus stadium will not be finished in time to host any games this year. Instead they will play at the home of the Perpignan rugby union club, although they will take some games to other parts of the region, including Spain.
They also parted company with their English coach, Steve Deakin, just before Christmas, but hope to announce his replacement in the near future.
However, their director of football, David Waite, a man with a vast experience in Australia and Great Britain, has been keeping a close eye on things, and Jones, the brilliant New Zealand scrum-half, captains the side.
Last season Les Catalans served notice they will not be pushovers by giving Wigan an almighty fright in the fifth round of the Challenge Cup, before going down 16-10 in a pulsating encounter at the JJB Stadium.
But in their first ever Super League game against the Warriors in Stade Aime Giral last night they went one better with their stunning victory. Wigan led 22-16 at half time, but Les Catalans hauled themselves back into the game to lead 26-22 with 10 minutes remaining.
However, a try by Pat Richards and two goals from Danny Tickle looked to have snatched a win for the visitors, but in a barnstorming finish Ian Hindmarsh crashed over and Laurent Frayssinous converted to give them a two point lead.
There was no way back for Wigan, Justin Murphy being awarded a try after a long deliberation by the video referee and Frayssinous again converted to spark wild celebrations among the home fans.
Soon, there could be more French teams looking for inclusion in Super League and the Treizistes will be able to hold their heads high.

The Ruck is the Centre of the Universe
By Owen Dalkeith
You hear many of today's NRL level coaches preaching that the ruck is the centre of the universe.
To the novice coach the ruck may not seem as a focal point for the success of their football team. But a team that is constantly beaten on the ground will always be on the back foot.
Daniel Anderson has previously spoken in RLCM about the attitude a player needs when entering the ruck to ensure success.
Players must see the ruck as a contest that must be won. They must enter the ruck looking to win. But how do we coach the player to win the ruck?
There are two ways a coach can help his team win the ruck- Technical and Tactical.
Firstly lets look how a coach can give the player the physical skills to win the ruck.
TECHNICAL: Coaching the attacking player in a dominant position.
When attacking, the sole job of the ball carrier is to hit the ground in a strong position preferably with the ball close to the chest and resting on his elbows and knees.
The elbows and knees need to be wide enough so as to provide a good base of support and prevent him from being turned in the tackle.
From this position the outside leg can be brought forward to a standing position in a single movement therefore speeding the rate at which the ball is played.
If the defender is attached to the legs of the attacker have them bring their upper torso and body back towards their ankles before playing the ball.
If the defender is attached to the attackers upper torso then the attacker should tuck drag his legs up under his torso to help him regain his feet quickly. This ideal situation, of the attacker on elbows and knees, is not always possible.
