I thought I read that the travel costs would be paid?
And surely an NRC game against third tier teams isn't going to bring out many fans (home and away)? If marketed right, they could be much bigger games.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

In groups of 4 , you would only play 3 games , so 2 clubs would only get 1 home game
Plus as has been pointed out , nobody is interested in playing the French , Toulouse in the Championship showed that

Sometimes I wonder why you bother with the sport? You're so boringly negative.

I'm just boringly negative about stupid gimmicks , ones that don't actually help the clubs involved in them
As Leyther Matt has suggested , the only cross channel matches at our level should be a Championship champions V the French Champions , it should be part of the reward for both clubs winning their respective competitions

Agree entirely, again.
I think I need a lie down.

I was just about to say if someone other than a Leigh fan suggested that idea, you'd be talking it down in such a dismiss and negative way, and then you went and did this when someone suggested the exact same thing...

You can't even make up your mind. You just have to dismiss everything. It's why your not really worth listening to. We already know your opinion on everything before you say it.

If a Leigh fan suggests a stupid idea ( and plenty do ) then I still say it's a stupid idea , as for the last couple of posts , I get the feeling the poster was being ' ironic ' , but I'm not sure
