| Quote: nottinghamtiger "If we are moving towards a system of basing leagues on sporting success then Toulouse have done nothing to deserve a place in SL. If the RFL want to go to 12 clubs then they should either relegate the bottom two at the end of the 2014 season, or relegate the bottom 3 and promote the top team from the Championship. If this is Toulouse, so be it. If it isn't, they can play by the same rules as everybody else and gain promotion to SL by earning it.'"
These are not the rules we have been playing by since 2005. If they were then Catalans would not be in Super League.
We have a licensing system, which has worked well so far in the case of France. |

Why do you think that Toulouse should need to achieve success in a part-time English competition in order to be deemed worthy of Super League inclusion? Do you not think that's a bit backwards and stupid? |

But the point that we are moving away from a licensing system from 2014, aren't we? Catalans have been a success but the other French team thrown into SL was an unmitigated disaster.
I'm also not sure there is enough French talent to sustain another SL team. |

The other team (Paris) wasn't in the French League heartland, abit like London. It was never going to work. |

This
Including Toulouse is simply a question of whether we want the game of RL to prosper or, whether we want to look at self protection along the M62 corridor.
IMO, it looks too good an opportunity to miss. |

I'll gladly accept Toulouse, but i think there should be a long term plan put in place that after a said period Catalans and Toulouse, leave the ESL and help the French domestic league.

To get a viable international opponent for mid-season tests. |

Because the game shouldn't be a game an M62 sport, it's too good for that. We should use every tool, international tests, exhibition games, new teams and amateur aid to clubs to spread the game far and wide.
Typical flat-capper, this is why we are shrinking as a sport. |

Its pretty much a certain type of Rugby League fans encapsulated in two lines.
If you don’t want the entire game isn’t set up for the express benefit of a few lower SL /upper championship games you are selfish |

It's funny that English fans think the only relevant people in the RL world are 'Kiwis and Aussies'.

Bit harsh, there's plenty of people on here who want a credible France in the game. |
