I like to see French players playing their trade over here. It offers them an opportunity that the French system never could. Who want 's to play in the South of France anyway when you could be in Barrow in the rainy season.
The problem is that the French Elite set up is a basket case. Rarely do all the teams complete all of their fixtures. Given the support that they get from regional government they should all be well organised but they are not. If you think that we are provincial you ain't seen nuthin'. I just cannot get my head round the fact that my family's local village, equestrian centre, gets better television coverage and more often than French Elite 1.

This forum has slid into the murky depths of being a troll house and at the bequest of the moderators it would seem.......another anti/pro expansion debate designed to deliver ad impressions for the ever decreasing pool of advertisers....and here I am responding. I got a rap on the knuckles recently for calling Jean a name and by-passing the swear filter....so in true cockney rhyming slang, the three of you are a bunch of James Blunts......in other words you write a lot but inevitably end up saying little but your popular with the housewives who run this place

French Elite 1 needs to be a feeder league to French Super League teams. Both England and France would benefit from this. |

Yes indeed. Catalans and Toulouse (and later Avignon) in Super League can be fed talent by a rejuvenated French Elite competition. English clubs can also benefit from this. |

I think Wanderer was referring more to Hakim's impact and popularity at Doncaster. We love him!

Isn't that the goal of expansion? Using our system to promote theirs. |

Which is why France needs a bigger playing pool of French professional players, which can only come from more French clubs playing in Super League. |

Probably because they don’t do what every other nation does and fill the team with Aussies |
