I'm not surprised after the French teams performance yesterday

The French team seem to be going backwards , maybe Bobby has done all he can .

True, but that was never going to be much in Bobbys case.

Bobby says he's staying now as the French RL dont want him to quit and have given him their full backing . Is this just because there is no-one else to take over ?

They can't afford a top Aussie coach so i think they should give it to Troy Robinson if he wants it, or someone who already coaches in the French Competition. Someone who speaks French and understands the French, possibly someone who has played the game at international level.
Bobby struggles with English and if he does speak French it would be very limited, and then i doubt if it would make any sense, much like his Engllish.

Do you think the french struggle because of the number of non french players playing in france? I know there are a lot of oversea players in the english game but we have a larger pool to select from .

To be honest i don't know what the percentage is of overseas players there are in French Rugby League. It would obviously help the French national team if they had a larger pool of players to choose from.
