Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Toronto and Toulouse will definitely ignite a bigger interest in rugby league in Canada and in France, and thereby increase marketing and sponsorship.
Obviously. Leigh, Featherstone and Halifax have no ability to do that.'"
If that was true. Why aren't we awash with French marketing and sponsors? Why is the only French TV channel showing RL Al Jazeerer (spelling)? Why did the French magic weekend only get 2,500 and 2,000? Why is the elite 1 still struggling to get attendances and Marketing?
Given that catalans have been in sl for 12/13 years.
Toulouse might make a further dent, but no were near what you seem to think.
