That's not an argument, try again
Quote: dally messenger "
SL has enough heartland clubs in it, especially from small places. it doesnt need more of these clubs. the only way they should be allowed into SL is at the place of another small town heartland club which has failed'"
Why should geographical location matter if a team is well enough supported?
Quote: dally messenger "
if SL expands the number of teams from now, it should do it with expansion teams that could actually grow the sport a lot 10, 20 years down the track'"
There's been pro RL for nearly 30 years and they still get by far the lowest SL crowds so it's a lie that crowds in a big place will grow in 10-20 years time, they if anything dorp off over time. Also how will they pay the wages for those 10-20 years of tiny crowds?
Quote: dally messenger "
the only thing destroying SL is poor heartland clubs with hopeless crowds and poor stadia. to show how poor these clubs are, Les Cats have done more in 3 years than these guys have in decades'"
Crusaders are far worse than any other team, and only them and Harlequins have truly tiny crowds most heartland clubs have at least double their crowds. Catalans have done well but they were a success before they joined, they weren't let in as a charity like Crusaders were

no you are right then, count leeds as RL territory even though the soccer teams gets more people watching.
all the RL fans are in the pub

when i find people are insensitive to logic i tend to lose interest in their replies.
your nonsensical response to the facts i rasied re widnes and bradford are what im on about
if paris fails its because RL will never work there
if widnes or bradford fail, youll explain that away in silly terms.
hence your credibility is shot
and of course RL also failed in wigan and leeds so therefore they shouldnt be in SL now either

that football team got a higher average attendance in the third division than any rugby team in the whole world
not being quite as big as one of the biggest teams in the biggest sport isnt really something to be ashamed of

It's lucky no-one appears to take that approach to you, otherwise you'd never have anyone to talk to
As for credibility (as well as logic), to say Wakey out and Toulouse in and then on the same thread say CC Bears every time over WA Reds is not only illogical but totally hypocritical. Only you could achieve that

not only is soccer particularly popular, leeds utd are particularly popular, they are one of the biggest clubs, in the biggest competition pyramid, in the biggest sport in the world,
they get larger attendances than many clubs in the biggest sporting competition in the world, watched on a regular basis by more people than any other league in the world
clubs, in any sport, outside of maybe the NFL, would likely be happy to have the attendances leeds utd have despite them being in the third tier
only an idiot would pretend it is something to be ashamed of, an idiot like you

Not even close you ignorant person as neither got put straight into SL, I have no issue with a Paris team working up from the French leagues. Also you are lying about Widnes failing as they didn't fold, so it's not nearly the same. Also Bradford folding over 45 years ago has zero relevance to today as they get support now. Stop trolling and grow up, if you want to make well thought out arguments in support of Toulouse then go ahead, but racist arguments purely on their country make your lack of any intelligence whatsoever clear, and any arguments for Paris whatsoever are purely stupidity beyond belief
