I don't think we got slagged off as such, but folk should bear in mind that the match was on TV, on a THURSDAY night and against Giants who unfortunately don't seem to travel in numbers (and this is not a dig at them). All in all, I think we didn't do too badly.

Could the same not be said of New Zealand relying on Australia?... |

A bit rich from someone who was advocating a second NZ team in an Australian competition after the Warriors game in Wellington a couple of weeks ago! |

Kiwis make up 29% of the NRL and closer to 40% of the u20s comp down here......2 French players outside Catalans and 8 starters for the dragons is no comparison! |

What the hell has that got to do with it? If NZ has that many players then it should have its own thriving competition not trying to piggy back into the Aussie competition. You can't have it both ways.

It is lovely in France at the moment. I am sat on the terrace with a drink in hand. If I was a bit closer to the South West I would be looking for a game.

Nope....NZ Players ply their trade in the NRL because that's where the money is. The #1 sport here struggles to generate sufficient cash or interest, so the idea of a cash rich PROFESSIONAL domestic RL comp in a country of 4 million is insanity........but France, with 66,000,000+ population and apparently a massive following for the game in the SW struggles to get anything like the attention of the other football codes. The opportunity in France is a reality, but NZ, with it's tiny population, will never be able to support a top tier competition. |

| Quote Judder Man="Judder Man"The problem with this is that its all one way traffic, you might get say around 500+ going over there from the big clubs but there are never ever more than about 50 french fans coming over here and contributing to the income streams of the clubs.
Long term the game needs to develop a superleague over there instead of french teams potentially displacing the english teams over here.'"
Think your being unfair on the Catalan fans, its a one off visit to France for supporters from England. How many could afford to travel every second week? |

think the catalans attendances are abit suspicious ... is this the old favourite 'tickets sold' attendance or the actual that turned up.
8549 last season when i went to watch Giants there and didnt look anywhere near that!
