Agree about linternationals being better, maybe hold a 4 nations over there.
Would also take the WCC over there. Especially the current 3 game system. Hold it in 3 cities close together.

But we all know these things are about how much money can be got out of these even'ts and not about promoting the sport.

I’m all for expansion but I don’t get why they need to deviate from Newcastle because it’s always a great weekend. I’ve met some quality people over the years from other clubs and I don’t think we will get the same in New York

And why would the New York public want to watch 6 matches back to back, of a game they have never seen before? I'm all for taking rugby league to New York, but 1 game will be enough for now!

And it's usually you three moronic individuals who stir the pot of hate that does it

It is obvious that having Toulouse in Super League will create a local derby with Catalans. This will boost the popularity of rugby league in southwest France. It will also give French, English and other international rugby league fans a French club game on TV every week.

It will be a winner in so many ways having Toulouse in Super League.

As you've said for the past two years. Do you not get tired of saying the same thing over and over again?

Terrible Toulouse were lucky to get a Point from their home game with Laughable London....having dropped 5 Points at Home to Luckless Leigh, Limp London and twisted Toronto, they find themselves with a must win scenario v Have-a-Go Halifax at the Shay or the prospect of being overtaken in the race for the top 2 spots. Lolly Laden London are the key to the finishing positions.....but trifling Toulouse will loose 6 from 7 if they scrape into the 8....losing to Fev and Batley shows how poor they actually are away from home.

Toulouse were robbed yesterday.
A shocking call given as a Toulouse knock on, when the ball came off a London player denied them the win but, it was an entertaining game.
The bigger issue will be where they play if/when they gain promotion.
However, based on yesterdays performance, neither they, nor London appear to be ready for SL.

Why not ready? You surely don't expect them to join Super League with exactly the same team that they have now!

Terrific Toulouse could easily retain their current outside backs and halves, but need another prop, two second rowers and a lock from NRL ranks, in order to be placed in the top 8 of Super League alongside Catalans.

Over 200 km travel is hardly what you'd call a local derby?

The Funding for the top 4 is what everyone is playing for....Toulouse, London, Toronto and Leigh have the largest wage bills......Fev and Fax are playing for bigger pay packets next year....it really is going down to the wire, but as you say, other than Toronto and maybe Leigh none of the Championship sides look good enough.
