In the short term they would bring half a dozen or more french players up to speed.In the long term they would help the french national team to better compete

Fair enough. Ill leave you to enjoy your circle.

Great. Let's do it then.

In the meantime, another crappy home atmosphere with no visiting fans, a loss of revenue for UK clubs (the amount and relevance of which has been argued to death), 900 miles to travel for the away fixture and more journeymen Antipodeans.

I'm all for careful expansion, but not expansion for expanion's sake.

Either admit you can't answer the question, or answer the question.

Why would we want Toulouse in Super League?

Why wouldnt we?

Either admit you can't answer the question, or answer the question.

Edit Pto get more sl standard french players playing in sl?[/i

No argument from me with any of that but the point remains, its called SLE ltd and it exists to promote rl in europe ,not just the north of england

Not the question I asked.

Generally if someone proposes a change to the status quo - in this case, additional French players by means of another French club (generally assumed to be Toulouse), the onus is on them to provide an argument and demonstrate why that change would be positive and good for all parties. Therefore, seeing as you won't answer the question, I'll assume you can't.

Fair enough, but not at the expense of weakening the spectacle in the UK with lame crowds and atmosphere and yet another team of journeymen. We already have enough games with almost zero travelling support - Catalans & London, and several with low travelling numbers - Hudds, Salford and others - without introducing another one, and also asking fans to fork out many hundreds of pounds if they want to watch the away fixture.

We all love it when the big games are on - a good crowd, rocking atmosphere, etc. And then we all complain when the game on TV looks poorly attended with empty seats and a terrible atmosphere. By introducing another French side we're simply increasing the number of lame games. What good does that do anyone?

It was the statement posed by J.C,

You asked
So i asked you

So[i Either admit you can't answer the question, or answer the question.[/i or you can dance around some nonsense about the status quo not having to justify itself.

It's actually Super League (Europe) Ltd, and in case you hadn't realised wouldn't need teams from outside of the UK (or even just England) to satisfy the use of the word 'Europe'.

But not the question I asked, was it?



I assume the snow is causing you brain-freeze, you're arguing for something you have no argument for!

Oh, and as you seem to have missed it, I've laid my cards on the table many times and also in this thread. I'm not repeating it for you.

Obviously not in your little world

Is this the bit where you tell everyone how wonderfully hilarious you are finding the 'bites'?

Thats always fun
