Is the score Toulouse beat 4th placed rivals Keighley. It looks a certainty we will be seeing them back in the championship next year.

That was an incredible win against a 4th placed team. And to score 15 tries in the process. It could have been 90-6 had the Toulouse goal kicker been more accurate.

He only managed to kick 12 from 15?
Disgraceful.

Some journalists grumbling on twitter about an elastic salary cap over in Toulouse.

We want things every which way, don't we.
If clubs are fast tracked into a higher division, everyone cries foul and if they start at the bottom and have ambition and resource and beat everyone (well just about everyone), we still complain.

Maybe there needs to be a slight re think before the Canadian team comes into the 3rd tier ?

Of course, if we still had franchising, we could have increased the number of clubs in the top flight but, folk would still be moaning.

IF there is a grand plan (or any kind of long term plan ), it would make sense to allow Toulouse to enter at SL level with an exemption from relegation, for say 3 years to give them an element of stability.

This would of course upset clubs like Leigh or Bradford (if they don't gain promotion and equally, it would upset fans of any relegated club (as Castleford found, when they finished above Catalan but, still got relegated).
However, there clearly needs to be proper thought given and IF it is the right thing to do, to have 2 French clubs in the top flight, then lets be up front an honest about what we are trying to achieve and then get on with it AND make sure that it works.
Rugby League spends is always looking for a quick fix and whilst some may say the sport is innovative, the sport usually just comes across as amateur and badly managed.
We should allow Toulouse into SL, providing that their presence improves the games profile, increases the competitiveness of France and increases the revenue coming into the game (increased TV deal etc).
Of course this wont happen and we will be back in a similar situation in another couple of years with the new Canadian team.

For God's sake, lets have a proper strategy for improving the sport, instead of just bumbling along and disaffecting fans as we go along.

Ah the great Toulouse who imploded the last time they were in the championship with 500 fans yep let's fast track them again ,they are playing in a league were bar 3 teams are of the standard of Leigh miners and wigan St pats so let's not go overboard and allow these teams to build slowly and steadily eh ?

Well said......

Too right, its about time the French Rugby League get there finger out and develop there own Superleague instead of piggy backing onto ours. They could have there own corridor of clubs via the A62/A61 and develop clubs like Bordeaux, Toulouse, Carcassonne, Limoux, Narbonne, Montpellier.

Toulouse have already beaten Leigh Centurions and got to within 6 points of Wakefield before going down 40-22 at Wakefield.
Therefore Toulouse are already at the standard of the Middle 8s!

You sir, and your few fans, are a motley little group of insular, flat capped UKIP donkeys

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe its called the European Superleague. That being so they're perfectly entitled to be a member, subject of course to being of a high enough standard.

And the inclusion of a French club was part of the TV deal but, we could get rid of that as well and then the sport would be well and truly screwed.

Is it the [iEuropean[/i Championship One as well ??

And why not!

Which has the bigger potential for our sport - Toronto/Toulouse................or Leigh?
