We need more Frenchmen in other super league clubs. NZ have improved partly because there are so many kiwis in the NRL, if it was just the warriors I doubt NZ would be up to much.

I guess it's up to the French mainly to get the best elite league players in the shop window to convince super league clubs they are worth a shot. In the medium term another super league club would be helpful. It's up to the RFL to decide how far they are willing to go to help what is in reality a rival for silverware despite the disparity.

Quote: wrencat1873 "You're right of course but, the big question is how to expand the game successfully without destroying the root's.
There have been numerous attempts to plant new teams into traditionally non-RL areas and tbf, most of these have failed.
IMO the game can only grow by grass roots development + time and we seem to always strive for a quick fix.
It does appear that there is a good chance of adding a further French team sometime soon and this will certainly help their National team but,
how would you suggest we expand ?'"


Agree, RL has got to be in the schools and amateur clubs and then build from there, otherwise history will repeat itself.

Quote: frank5613 "If some clubs owner's get there way Super league will be reduced to ten teams, so if we bring in four French teams, that would mean firstly reduce to ten, we loose four teams, then we bring in four French teams and get rid of another four teams, instead of having thirteen British teams in Super League, we end up with five British teams in Super League, so the French get stronger and British Rugby league gets decimated at the top level, it sounds like a well thought out plan, bring on the Aussies..'"

When you can provide a proper argument, and not a convoluted strawman argument, then you will be worth arguing with.

Quote: Shifty Cat "But wasn't the reason Catalans are a success is because it's always been a RL heartland, places like Toulose aren't. Outside of that heartland very few grassroots exist and without them we'd be asking for trouble imo.'"

How is Toulouse not a rugby league heartland but Perpignan (pre the SL announcement) is?

What is wrong with the argument, its what people are going on about on hear, they want a reduction in super league, and bring in 4 French teams you do the maths, or don't they add up, we need more British players not less if we go down to 12 or 10 as some want what happens with all the young lads coming through, they ether go to the lower divisions or to RU. would you be happy if you team was at risk of being demoted, for a French team to come in i don't think so, its all hypothetical it wont happen,these not enough French players for one team let alone four, all the talk about there is not enough players for 14 teams in SL, its poor & needs sorting out, all clubs should bring player through the system, i now my team do & its time others do the same including yours,
