Whilst I’m sure improving the National team was one of the objectives, I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t be the only thing.

Try my post above, it's a reality post, and of course you don't speak for everyone nor do you qualify to patronise them over their thought processes.

We would have been better served adding Toulouse to SL and helping further, rather than chucking Catalan under the bus. '"
Read my post above, I know you won't troll and will give it a fair chance.
The inclusion of Les Catalans as a Superleague club was of course to develop quality French players and a French TV deal. Those' two things keep the game just about alive along the M62. Those two things were also asked of TWP. Those two things apply to Toulouse - Lenegan went to Toulouse years ago to tell them that the game needed quality players and paying TV deals.
My friend, Toulouse have no SL quality players otherwise Les Catalans would have signed them. Despite Toulouse being in the league here the TV company pulled the deal.
The French have very sadly failed big time yet you would still give then two spaces in Superleague? What do you think clubs like Leigh, Bradford, Newcastle and Widnes would say if Ian Lenegan put Toulouse in Superleague???? They would be livid....

I’ve been involved in the game for over 30 years, so I’m pretty well versed in the history and the facts - I’m not sure you’ve provided any facts that I’ve not accepted. What you have provided is your opinion that heartland clubs are more important (which I don’t even think I’ve disagreed with), that the aim of Catalans was to have a better French national team (again, I don’t disagree, but believe it’s about more than just that) and that expansion is pointless - that bit I do disagree with.....
Anyway, that’s me done with this conversation, I think I’ve shared my views in a rational manner, with a nod to what I see as the very long term potential benefits of expansion, the factors we’d need to rely on for it to work and an acceptance that it is a long shot, and that IMO it’s worth a try.
Over and out!

Of course I don't speak for everyone but that his post was understandable. Are you saying that you didn't understand what he was saying because it made sense to me?
As do some of your points that I agree with, just not every one of your points because I believe we can have both, expansion and heartland. Also that widnes and Bradford are nowhere near financiallly capable to be in super league. Any proof that they are?

If only eh! I wonder if every Toronto game thread will end up like this.
On a note relating to the game, the Williams try has gone viral on social media after football fans picked up on his likeness to Mo Salah. Nice bit of exposure for Salford.

Let's hope it's the only likeness to that little $h1te from down the M62!
I got all excited about a 5 page Salford thread only to read about half a dozen posts about the actual game!
This new Salford team is definitely a WIP. The problem is we don't have much time to gel with the fixtures coming up. Home games against the likes of Hudds, KR & Leeds are games we need to be winning before we get the (on paper) tougher fixtures. I'm still confident we'll be sat just below mid-table by the end of the season but the next 4-6 weeks will probably define our season IMO. Get the points on the board early and take a bit of the pressure off.
A few promising signs from Brown last week and Seb will be a key player once he's fully fit. Sarginson was excellent I thought as well against Toronto and will definitely solidify the backline defensively.

You can "over and out" as much as you want, if the French quality player pool is smaller than 1996 and the French TV deal was pulled then what "expansion" are you going on about?
Your welcome to any opinion even if it doesn't have any basis of fact. As long as TWP go round pretending they are the best thing to ever happen to the game here the vast majority of fans will call it out, I thought once in SL TWP would be found out by one and all, but a small percentage of fans still want to argue sending the old Leigh team to play 3,000 miles away as a plaything of a mega rich Aussie is "expansion"

Perhaps you can organise a ban on anyone pointing out how nonsensical it all is? Or you could try posting on Total RL.com. They do threads where your not allowed to post anything but nice comments on TWP. Staying on topic I wonder if 80% of the Salford fans were scratching their heads saying "[iwhere are the Canadian players?[/i" "[iwhere are the Canadian fans"[/i

No just leave it out of the game threads as some of us actually want to discuss the game and leave the politics out of it. There is a thread to discuss expansion as you know.
