True and not beyond Leigh for sure. Looking beyond that, I'm not sure any of the wannabees will finish above Catalans who, like Leigh, surely can't continue to be as poor as they started. |

Toulouse look a better side than they did last year when they capitulated when the heat was on. I'd be surprised if they don't make the top 4 in 2018

They have another year of experience behind them ( Marcon, Ader etc) and the additios of Rapira and Barthau especially give them better options. As i ee it their only problem is overplaying when they should be managing the game better. With better game management they would be a decent side IMO.

For those who want to see some good rugby league tries, here are the highlights of Toulouse vs Halifax.
www.to13.com/actualites/to-xiii- ... ume-video/
The two best tries were the third Toulouse try by Rhys Curran after several players handled, and the Gavin Marguerite try in the 64th minute. Note the performance of the Toulouse backs, in particular Anthony Ford and Gavin Marguerite. In the third try Marguerite draws the defender and sends a beautiful pass to his winger who kicks to the centre field. Later, in the second half, Marguerite shows tremendous speed to outpace the Halifax defenders and score. I predict Marguerite will have a bright future as a centre for Toulouse and France. |

He might have a bright future for France, but France won't have a bright future.

...exactly what I was thinking.
Without Catalans and Toulouse KEY players being French, rather than Australian, then FRANCE RL will always be poor. |

Not true. Here is the likely French squad 2018
FB
Note that it is mostly Catalans forwards but mostly Toulouse backs. It would beat Scotland and Ireland, and perhaps run within 24 points of England |

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
