Better coaching will make better players. I don't think I said they'd all be Superleague players anyway.
But trying something different rather than just walking away is a much better option.'"
No you didn't say they'd all be Superleague players, but we were talking about
International players weren't we? We were discussing how poor the French International side is and sure, English coaching may help some players to be better players but by your own admission not all superleague standard, so how does that help when France need
International standard players to compete with GB?
Too late now anyway, the Test games have been pulled for good so again what is the point of TWP or Toulouse taking Superleague places?
Is it this idea that it's "expansion"???. When Catalans came in SL
Widnes were thrown out for them. Now Toulouse want to come in SL to create a French Derby, so
who get's chucked out for them then? How is this expansion?
Martyn Sadler recalled today in his paper when we launched Superleague with a "great night in Paris in 1996. Paris beat Sheffield on a fantastic night. But they folded after two seasons" and Sadler says "After it closed French Rugby Union set up a major RU club in the capitol" instead.
Rugby Union has pretty much squashed League in France hence they don't have the talent anymore more coaching or not. If we hand out Superlague places to Avignon, Catalans and Toulouse all playing players from our English player pool of course this will "Expand French Rugby league"......
To what cost to English Rugby league?
