That would make a fantastic Super LeagueWigan
St Helens
Warrington
Leeds
Hull FC
Hull KR
Huddersfield
Castleford
London
Catalans
Toulouse
Toronto[/i
That would leave room for future expansion to include [iNew York[/i and [iBoston[/i in a 14 team Super League, and later [iMontreal[/i and [iAvignon[/i in a 16 team Super League, and even later possibly [iPhiladelphia[/i and [iParis[/i in an 18 team Super League. Once we got to the 14 team situation I have described, the media in Britain and France would start to sit up and take notice of Super League. By the time we get to 16 teams the same will happen to the media in north America. However this scenario assumes two major developments[sizea recruitment of majority local players from the expansion countries,[/size because there aren't enough quality English or Antipodean players to fill 16 or 18 SL teams.
Toulouse is showing that this is no pie-in-the-sky regarding France, because they now have a large majority of French players. They only need a couple more Antipodeans to compete well in Super League. Toulouse's ascent into Super League will attract more French youth away from rugby union and into our game. The same thing will happen, though more slowly perhaps, in the case of the north American teams.'"
How many British players are on Toronto's books...20 i think.
That's them out of your SL charade then |

Toulouse just annihilated Barrow (who beat 2017 Super League side Leigh)
Toulouse racked up 50 points with 9 different try scorers.

For those who missed it, highlights of a terrific top of the table contest between Toronto and Toulouse. Many of those tries were of good Super League quality. Two great teams:

More hype. It was very poor defence rather than SL quality tries.

That is not true. The defence of each side was strong, but some of the attack was brilliant.
For Toulouse Paul Marcon, Mark Kheirallah, William Barthau, Stanislaus Robin, Jonathan Ford, and Justin Sangare are SL quality players. |

Good to hear, in all honesty I can only see Toronto troubling the middle 8s from a champ perspective (Leigh have a good squad and are runnng into a bit of form, but even if they got in the 8s wouldnt do much from 4th). That's purely because I believe Toronto will strengthen further, would Toulouse have he finances to do the same |

Rather than argue the toss about what may or may not happen in the future why not relish the present and look at what a fantastic Championship competition we have this season.

Col,that's unfair at this stage of the season. BTW - We have two middles coming in to strengthen our pack. |
