Decent game dominated by Rochdale errors which made it easier for TO but they deserved the points tho' maybe a 25 point margin would have been fairer. Barthau was awesome again. Robin didn't get in the 19 so I suppose he'll be back for Dewsbury with Barthau being rested.

Another great result for table topping Toulouse.

The Championship has been given a new lease of life with its international dimension.

Leigh have lost again to rivals Featherstone in front of 3,594.
Leigh’s home game against Toronto Wolfpack was watched by 5,452.

Today’s Super League West Yorkshire local derby between Wakefield and Huddersfield had just 4,055 at the game.

We need the expansion clubs or we’ll end up as an amateur sport.

Has the weather played a part in such an embarrassing attendance for a derby?

You sound suspiciously like a non French Lancastrian

Kevin Sinfield is not a French name. But Jean Capdouze is.

Yet we both celebrate the success of terrific table topping Toulouse.

How many fans of the expansion team were at Leigh?

1,700 Toulouse fans rattling around a 4k stadium.....London now consider 1,000 a good gate.....both cities have more of a Union pedigree with Stade Toulousain averaging 17k , whilst Quins 22k and Saracens 15k are both much better supported. Toronto......they had an 'away" event at a local downtown pub at the weekend, attended by a hundred or so people........without the beer tents and free tickets they'll struggle to get 3k to games and free tickets aren't free to Argyle......he's bleeding cash and owes suppliers money........his CEO and driving force has left and hasn't been heard of in the media since November........it's all smoke and mirrors.
I am all for expansion but not just as a pin dropping exercise.......if we are to expand then we need to expand the playing pool.......Toulouse will need to hire 10 to a dozen Anzacs if they are to compete in SL.....how is that helping French RL? If London get up, they'll have to do something similar......but both those sides are doing well in the 2nd tier with home grown talent and I'd rather they stayed in the 2nd tier and continued the development rather than a season of getting hammered by the likes of Leeds and Wigan....

How do harlequins average 22k in a 14,800 stadium and Saracens average 17,000 in a 10,000 stadium

Witchcraft.......as well you know.

77,825 attended Quins home game on December 30th 2017.......... that's how quins average 22k. But because it's Union you'll no doubt question its legitimacy.....unlike Wigan v Hull attracting 12,416 in 'stralia which is "league leading the way".....Saracens are taking a home game to the Olympic stadium later this month....I reckon they should be burnt at the stake!

Toulouse, after some nervous moments, ran away with the game against diabolical Dewsbury, winning 40-20. Toulouse scored seven (7) tries to four (4).

Another great result for Toulouse, London and Toronto. It would be brilliant if all 3 gained promotion.

Yes and what with the charismatic Catalans winning this weekend, you can bet erectile dysfunction won't be a problem for Chorley john this weekend

How would it be brilliant? Toulouse play on a pitch with a shed to one side that holds 4k but gets 1k, London play at a wedding venue with fewer than 900 guests and Toronto.......god knows where they'll be playing their "home" games next year, let alone their beer festivals?
None of them bring anything in terms of "extra value" through additional TV revenues, sponsorship or even media interest, only London run a youth set up and them replacing HKR, Catalans and Salford would trip 10-15% of the SL average attendance figures, thus further devaluing our fiscal value to potential partners.

Probably the most unlikely scenario in the whole history of RL. Sums up the intellect of Sir KS.
