That is ridiculous. They have already beaten the top Championship side Leigh in the Challenge Cup, and they played Wakefield close for most of the game played at Wakefield. I expect that next year in their quest to win the Middle 8s, they will buy a couple of fiercesome forwards that will make them stronger than the weakest Super League club. Toulouse will be promoted to Super League possibly at the end of 2017, but certainly by the end of 2018. Toulouse is a very serious sporting enterprise, while some of the Super League clubs are not.
The sports mad people of Toulouse --- a city bigger than Leeds --- have been thirsting for an entertainment machine like Toulouse Olympique for years. Once their hometown club locks horns with the English "big boys," the sporting public will come out in droves to support it. There is no reason to think that for the big games Toulouse Olympique won't get at least as many attendees as Leeds Rhinos do, and probably more.
