| Quote ant1="ant1"Apart from an annual weekend away what do Catalan bring to Super league?
They bring no support to away games, Catalan at home is always a flat game without atmosphere. At least Leigh fans are vocal and create some banter on the Western Terrace.
Catalan relegated and another negative on McBanana's CV
Leigh for me!'"
Huddersfield dont bring any fans either, or wakefield so do you want them kicked out too?

| It won't let me vote for some reason. Catalans for me, they get bigger crowds, have an academy, expand our reach beyond the M62 corridor, and benefit the international game. Plus they have shown on field potential at times, having made the CC Final once and play offs numerous times. I've nothing against Leigh, but they bring a lot less to SL.

| So, we have a club which add some je ne sais qoui to the comp and is a strong vibrant club which people enjoy travelling to or, a club in the shadow of Wigan, in a borough of Wigan, that doesn't have it's own academy.
It's really hard to make your mind up.
Home fixture, partisan crowd, Leigh will stay up.
(unless there is a conspiracy between Sky and the RFL to keep Les Cats in SL  )

Hang on, We've had 1 season crack of the whip in SL, We've put everything we were able to do so in place, and now you want us condemned? I've nothing against Leigh my @R$£. Why don't you offer Catalans a place in SL instead of your team and keep the M62 corridor expanded?

| Quote Parkside Freddie="Parkside Freddie"Do go on...'"
Just my own personal opinion pal. In my eyes they are the probably either 4th or 5th in the World (not hard in terms of RL like!) but I feel they bring more to the International game than some countries. They are a true French side. Unlike say Scotland who are made up of English players, or Samoa who are made up of people who have played international for Australia. The majority of the nations in the 2013 WC (excluding England, Australia, New Zealand and France) were made up of people not from their nation.
For me France and PNG are the ones outside the top 3 who are at least playing their 'home' players in more than just qualifying. Yes France do get battered by the likes on ENG, NZ and AUS. But for me they are getting stronger and that is down the Catalan being a professional SL side. Hopefully Toulouse will join them and improve the French player pool even more so!

| Leigh because on the evidence not provided Catalans hasn't done much for the French national team, and it would prove that no one outside the game would bat an eyelid if they stayed or went down:

| I certainly don't have a problem with Leigh.
I don't really feel anything towards them. Just a small club from over the hill. Don't wish them any ill will, but if they where relegated, Super league wouldnt suffer for it.

Do you honestly disagree that Catalans offer more than Leigh to SL? If it was Leigh or Salford, I'd say Leigh, but it isn't.

I respect your opinion,however, If Leigh do go down, then what you're really saying is,shut shop and leave us 12 clubs alone for the good of the game,and protect Catalans.
BTW - The structure will change for the 2019 season,so it might not be a bad idea for them to
go down, and rebuild, regroup, and restructure themselves.
Most folk on this thread are showing a selfish view because they might not have their annual Jolly with a game thrown in.

You might as well say that Catalans should be exempt from relegation
Look, Leigh haven't been given the opportunity to build, and be a bigger club,one season isn't enough. I hope Leigh stay in SL, not just because it's my team,but i believe we will grow as a club and compete better. WE put 50 on you lot twice last year,so we certainly have the potential to get bigger.
All this Catalan crap is down to folk not getting their annual rugby jolly in France/Spain.
