Hello,

First, I want to thank you all for this wonderful website. I am very impressed by the amount of data and the time you invested in.

I report a mistake in Catalans Dragons summary : https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/teams/catalans-dragons/summary.html.

In your database, Catalan Dragons and Union Treiziste Catalane (UTC) are considered as the same team. So UTC Challenge Cup games before 2005 appear in Catalans Dragons summary and records.

But obviously, Catalan Dragons is a distinct team from UTC, although there is a link to them : UTC (known today as Saint-Esteve XIII Catalan) is the reserve team of the Dragons and belongs to the French League ("Elite 1").

On the "Les Catalans" website, it is mentioned here :
http://www.catalansdragons.com/articles-124/127-20-saint-esteve-xiii-catalan/
"Les dirigeants décideront de créer un nouveau club sur les bases de l'UTC, les Dragons Catalans."
Which could be translated as
"The directors will decide to create a new club based on the UTC, the Catalan Dragons."
