Possibly because it is a good idea , and given that the Catalans inclusion hasn't as yet noticably improved the French national side , then hopefully putting Toulouse in would , also we dont want them or any other French club in the Championships

The number of Kiwi eligable players in the NRL means there isn't the same need for a second NZ team in the NRL , although it would be a positive for NZ sport

i await sanjunien's arrival to tell you what a parochial flatcapper you are whilst at the same time applauding you for your vision of expansion.

don't fall into the old trap of mixing the SL/club & international performances - the inclusion of arguably the best english players according to McBanana (some actually playing in the NRL !) representing England doesn't mean they will be successful : witness,the pathetic performances down under by the creme de la creme that is England ! they weren't even that convincing against PNG !
I can't see how TO in the SL will change much for Bobbie Goulding.

To answer the original question:

Rugby League is a credible sport in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, a small part of France and Queensland / NSW.

Outside of those areas few people give a flying .

just about sums it up,doesn't it ?

So you can see the benefits of allowing a club to time to prepare for their entry to SL and your arguments against it you admit were, as you would say, Bollox!!
