Ex-Drac theme continues at nearby Palau

Thanks to our ongoing love of Oliver Elima we have always held a candle for Palau Broncos. 

Their voluntary relegation down to the Ligue National is a sad thing for us. 

Benoit Albert left the club at the end of the season having replaced Olivier Elima midway through the stop-start 2020/2021 campaign. 

The club had thrown a bit more money into the campaign so to end up going down the leagues will have been galling. 

However a ray of light has come with the annoucement of their head coach for next season. 

Rodney Howe is a name that needs no introduction to Catalans fans having working in S&C at Stade Gilbert Brutus. 

He was always an excitable proposition behind the posts dishing out water when we'd conceded. 

We wish him luck in the job and will be keeping our usual eye on our second favourite teams journey this winter.
