Pearson has to promote Superleague in this interview even through gritted teeth. SL can't afford to have spats and rifts before it even starts. He's not going to say the likes of TWP, Ottawa and New York are some sort of breath of fresh air ESPECIALLY since 80% of his fanbase don't see anything good in the American dream. That American dream also lines up Hull.K.R. to be relegated to make way for it. Does Pearson want that - he's big mates with the Hudge? He just has to grit his teeth.

ANYWAY It appears that New York were due to meet the RFL for final approval for 2021 in "Early December" did you or anyone else see anything on this perchance?? Thanks in anticipation.

Just for clarity, I was agreeing with you, knowing AP if he fully backed TWP he would have said so.

New York, Ottowa etc. are pipe dreams, RL couldn't make a Welsh team work, Catalans isn't really French, Jean is a dreamer and a fantasist.

[i""Rugby league is a constantly evolving and expanding game - and now New York, is setting their sights on the Super League by the 2023 season. A team from the 'Big Apple' are set to join England's third division competition in 2021 - meaning they could realistically be in the top flight by 2023. According to senior journalist Dean 'Bulldog' Ritchie “They’ve got all their ducks in a row at the moment - money, home ground, sponsors – and I think by Christmas the RFL will formally approve New York for 2021,""

The meet with the RFL was supposed to be early December, this quote above put it back to "by Christmas", and now we are at the New Year? Anyone seen any approval yet?

At the risk of causing offence, you do seem very repetitive, I don't think I am alone in having suspicions you may be Jean/Steph, arguing with yourself.

You are not the first person to have such thoughts.

Aye, and you all keep replying to all of em - hence creating the click bait that funds the forum through the sponsorship

Really? Happy to withdraw from the Forum if this is a general opinion?

BTW it is very offensive especially as I was the one to suggest nobody replied to Jean Capdouze, and yet nobody took any notice clearly enjoying the games with the alleged Troll.

What do you want guys, a debate and discussion on Rugby league or to just exchange insults with trolls??

Maybe someone could just press the reboot button.

I intend to leave 2019 with the truth, RLFans is ultimately corrupt, Jean, and it's various personas are allowed. The whole shooting match is finished, there is more spine in a jelly.RL will die, and idiots like Jean will see to it.

If SADFISH has the nuts to front up, great, we can talk, otherwise this place goes the way of TotalRL et al.

a sad day

It has been mentioned not too long ago, don’t feed the trolls ( whoever each of you think they are), there is definitely one double agent but just ignore him/her, please don’t quote the nonsense.

I know what you're saying, but there's not too much moderating going on at the moment. They seem to be enjoying the 'discussions/arguments' as long as it doesn't contain personal abuse.

Please stop berating the Moderators. It is the off season, after all. And moreover at this time it is the holiday season. In any case there is nothing offensive in the posts of Steph Curry, Donnyman, or Jean Capdouze. So just give it a rest please.
