It seems that even after over a decade of Catalans being in SL, the French game is still a shambles and fewer than 2,000 people attended the Elite 1 Final, down from 12k a decade ago.
It's obvious that Catalans being in SL and Toulouse in the Championship is not having the desired impact on the game at grassroots level and it seems that the infighting is still going on.
How can we assist France?
I'd like to see English clubs take their "home" games v Catalans to other French towns. The NRL clubs sometimes do this for their home games v the Warriors and they receive incentives from local councils for doing so. This coming season, the Bunnies are playing the Warriors in Queensland......it would be good if a side like Warrington took their Home game to somewhere like Avignon and fill the 17k stadium there.....surely better than the 8k they usually get and no doubt the local council would appreciate a few thousand visitors?
In the Championship, Bradford could look to take their home Toulouse game to another City o the South of France.
What's obvious is that if the game in France isn't given urgent help, it'll continue to shrink
