Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="Huddersfield1895"I think with the money that Toulouse and Toronto appear to have i think its only a matter of time before both are knocking on the Super League door. The RFL will have to expand the competition back to 14 teams again.'"
You don't have to convince me. I agree with you completely. Adding two new clubs to Super League won't dilute the quality of Super League players very much because although both clubs will start out with lots of Super League Englishmen, and/or NRL standard Aussies and Kiwis, Toulouse will still be majority French players from the beginning, and Toronto plans to be majority north American players within five years.'"
Hey Barrie, how's things man? Are you still following Cronulla or is that done? I agree with expansion but really, it has to come in the form of clubs coming up through the lower divisions. No nonsense, so clubs can believe the road is fair and people domestically who want to come in and invest can do. There are plenty of good investment opportunities in Rugby League, it just requires improvement in guidance from the RFL in marketing and getting the word out. Toronto, whatever they turn out like, have made waves and they should be commended for that. The RFL should listen and help out with all clubs and make it as attractive as possible below SL to invest and encourage success. For me that should be a total introduction of a turnover-percentage based salary cap below Super League, the more media, sponsor and attendance revenue you get, the more you have to play with.
