Pray tell me which Championship clubs besides Leigh and Bradford (and Halifax on a good day) would draw more than 2,000 fans for games against Coventry and Doncaster? Toulouse's average crowd is higher than anyone else despite every game being a walkover.
As for the claim that Toulouse's squad isn't majority French, you'll have to provide evidence for that I'm afraid. It isn't true. This and the fact that you seem to think they will be out of existence in five years (you do realise this is an old club of great heritage and not a franchise, right?) shows that you know little of what you talk about.

| Quote: Judder Man "By avoiding areas where other sports are competitive, the London guise had to compete with the football giants of Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and the union equivalents of London Irish, Saracens, Harlequins. We created a a South Wales Team against the hot bed of Welsh Rugby Union, Salford really struggle for support against the likes of Man Utd and Man City.
Currently there are no "elite" sporting teams in the North East and the Midlands a 5 year plan should have been put in place to get clubs to Championship Level, the North Wales development should have been RFL financed properly to assist the future backers.
The only positive out of the 20+ years with London is that we did eventually get some super league quality players from the capital area. Maybe the RFL want 20+ years in France, Canada etc whilst our own domestic product eventually becomes a feeder league to the NRL, maybe the RFL are happy of the possible outcome that 90% of the England international side will be anonymous in super league because they are playing 10,000 miles away.'"
So you'd turn down inward investment into the sport, and invest money the sport doesn't have into areas that don't really care? |

Depends how you see the "areas that don't really care" perspective and the fact that the RFL haven't got a clue on fast tracking a development model into potential areas similar thoughts published by the welsh coach Clive Griffiths. The RFL only scratch the surface in marketing potential areas and offer no structure and expertise in a time scale to allow a new club to grow progressively. |

Therefore Toulouse are already at the standard of the Middle 8s!
You sir, and your few fans, are a motley little group of insular, flat capped UKIP donkeys'"
They beat Leigh fare & square on their own turf in that there French France ....
How would they have done playing at Championship level for a full season ?
Maybe top 6 or 7 but not Middle 8's standard.
Let's [iNOT FORGET[/i that they are [iNOT[/i playing on a level field with [iALL[/i the other Championship 1 Clubs & are for all intents & purposes a Championship Club.
The situation will be exactly the same for the [iToronto Centurions[/i
[iRemember[/i also that Catalans had a [i6 YEAR DISPENSATION [/i gifted to them by the RFL, 3 years [iDirect Entry[/i to Super Dooper League followed by 3 Years Licence *which was always the RFL's plan*.
Your admiration of the French is .... well .... admirable .....
even if you are from Wakefield/Gateshead/Sheffield or wherever. |

So far both the playing & coaching teams are mostly made up of Ex or soon to be Ex Leigh Centurions.
It is a play on words with a nice mix of sarcasm & humour ....

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "That was an incredible win against a 4th placed team. And to score 15 tries in the process. It could have been 90-6 had the Toulouse goal kicker been more accurate.'"
Should have been at least 90 - 6 as a perfectly good try was refused in the first minute |
