| i know the RFL recently said it would stay at 14 teams, however the wildcard is Stade francaise and a potential TV deal with French TV
i read somewhere where toulose entry into SL was conditional upon getting a tv contract from french TV.
so what if stade francaise and toulouse manage to tie in a TV deal which costs zero from sky funding?
it would still leave widnes to replace the worst current heartland club
potentially a SL with 3 french clubs, plus wales and london
that would be massive for the game and achieveable as well

| It isn't going to happen though. If you read between the lines Toulouse have basically been shafted in favour of avoiding legal challenges by the flat cappers so won't get in.
Salford or Quins will go to be replaced by Widnes.

| I personally think 1 French team in Super League is more than enough, 2 ridiculous and 3 laughable.
If there are to be 3 French teams able to compete in our league then why wouldn't they want to have their own "Super League" to rival our own?
If expansion is the way forward then SL should be looking to Scotland before adopting another 2 French teams.

Why are they "flat cappers" for pointing out that if Toulouse went into super league, under different rules to everyone else, it would be unfair?
If it was your club losing out to a team playing to a different set of rules to everyone else you would be playing a different tune.
The criteria are in place to strengthen super league and make a more balanced competition. When a club is allowed entry without meeting the criteria that just weakens the competition amd makes a mockery of the whole thing.
Ask yourself - are all the clubs in super league meeting the criteria as they are, and are the clubs that aren't the ones that are struggling?

Quins will never leave Superleague.

No, Toulouse have been told that the same criteria applies to them as everyone else: get into a Grand Final.

It would be a pretty crap league with only 3 teams in it

Well they can do their bit for RL expansion and allow another European team in to make it 4. I nominate Wakefield.

They've been royally stitched up. Not allowed into the Flat Cappers Rail Northern Whippet Cup, which is being used by certain clubs as enough to qualify for a franchise application.

| Toulouse should be let in. It's time we made some difficult decisions in our game and forget about these failing towns in Yorkshire. Castleford and Wakefield could both go and nobody else would miss them. We have big clubs around them so there os no need for them to stay anymore.
Leigh should be nowhere near Superleague, they are a minute town next to an alreadu established big Superleague side. There would be little point bringing them in.
Same goes for Widnes, small town near a big established Superleague side.
Another French team who actually make an effort is the way forward.

I agree that this makes it unfair for them.

Catalans Squad numbers from 18 through to 25 or 27 have been made available to them.

If there is any truth to that, it's not much different to top sides loaning out the "almost" players to get competitive experience. The lesser players are more likely to be French, and Catalan have a duty to promote French rugby league and bring on domestic players.
