O/T but every time I see your avatar I imiediatley see an ostrich running towards me

getting fastracked in to NL1, they have been around since 1937 for f@cks sake, if thats fast tracking now wonder the game isnt spreading, 70+ year old clubs are looked on as the new boys


yeah because being in NL2 would be very beneficial for both Toulouse and the NL2 clubs, of course they are exempt from relegation, you would have to have serious learning difficulties not to understand why



no, that would be 5, exactly the same number Salford had this year



not really, i just used it as a word to describe the RL community, none of the things above are relevant to 'fraternity'

T'other thread

This one is the bitchfest thread

If you dont like it , ignore it

So they have had 70 years to make something of themselves and they havent , time somebody else got a chance



Correct Toulouse being in NL 2 would not help any current NL 2 clubs [ exactly as it will not help any NL 1 clubs either ] but it would still benifit Toulouse , Obviously being excempt from relegation will be benificial to Toulouse because hopefully that is where they will finish [ in a relegation place ]





Correct , same as Salford and 6 behind Celtic , but still more than most other clubs



What community ?

other than winning cups and leagues and such, im not sure what else they could make of themselves





whether it does or it doesnt, for £100k you would expect these clubs and their fans could behave with a bit of grace




if your going to bang on about how much Leigh offers in terms of youth development, you really have no place to moan when they are expected to use it



the people who are stakeholders in RL

Nope





" Here little boy , have these sweeties but dont say nothing to your Mummy and Daddy "





We dont have any , ask Richard in the morning




So that would be the SL clubs , the amatuer clubs , the internatinal federations and thier teams ,

oh and those little useless clubs from backwater pit towns , we musn't forget about them

erm, ok i guess,

i'm sorry, i was under the impression that toulouse were permitted as many aussies as they liked. if this isn't the case then i apologise, but they're still allowed more than most of the other NL1 teams

why is it relevant that they've been around for 70 years? they've joined a new league hierarchy for the first time and have skipped NL2. you can dress it up how you like but it's still fast tracking.

how can a club be helpful to NL1 clubs but not NL2 clubs?



pick your petty insults better next time please. you might end up really offending someone. prick.

they have joined in NL1, there was no way for them to qualify from NL1, what use would it have been to them and NL2 clubs to make them play in NL2 for a year?

and NL1 clubs and NL2 clubs are very different things

An away crowd

You didn't say that

This is what you said




Away you go

Are you really trying to argue there is a meaningful difference between saying

[iNL1 and NL2 arent the same thing[/i

and

[iNL1 and NL2 are different things[/i

are you asking what the differences between NL1 and NL2 are? surely you already know that Starry, one is NL1 and one is NL2, one is the 2nd tier of RFL pyramid one is the 3rd, one is made up of generally bigger clubs than the other, one is a bigger competition than the other, one has better attendances than the other, one has a higher profile than the other, one is in general a bigger league than the other
