Money?
Catalan and Toulouse have wealthy backers, so before we rush to et the next French side in, they need to find the moneymen. As Donnyman will tell you, French RL isn't all about Catalan and Toulouse....the game at grass roos level is struggling....I would rather that Catalan continue to use their Elite 1 club to recruit good french talent.....same with toulouse, but I really would like to see them both lift trophies in the next coupe of years....it would be epic for the games profile down there

And message boards aren't all about trolling around with five identities Ismir Tabby Warrington etc........Your made up story about your grand final visit was a howler.

So if Franchising comes in for the Superleague next season when the new Lower SKY deal clicks in who do you think the member clubs of Superleague will pick to be in the same league with them??

I would certainly think Toulouse and les Catalans will be first picks if they have a well paying French TV deal and are turning out SL quality French players.

My favourite is Remy Casty who is a superstar and legend of the game - look forward to seeing him play here next season..........

I agree with all of this. Fev should be in at the expense of Wakefield for sure

Already announced his retirement prior to Sunday's final and confirmed it post-match.

Sky sell advertising as well as subscriptions, advertisers pay more for vibrant cross continent exposure, they pay less for mushy peas and gambling, Sky and the top clubs want this!
you have being regurgitating this all Northern England SL fir the last few years snd its now further and further away, been a bad few days for you hasn’t it.
