What is the actual "criteria" for 'Full Time ' anyway, how does the RFL decide who's FT and who's PT, if the Broncos employed someone "Part-Time' would that change their status, or if Batley employed one 'full timer' would it change theirs, is it the bulk of staff, the bulk of the squad or just the first team?

The UK was part of the European Union with everything it entails, that includes I think EU legislation and all it entails, you may be right personally as I've told our friend from Doncaster I neither know nor care, I would just like him to furnish proof that they are just guests in our leagues, as he is reluctant to do so perhaps you would like to help him out a touch by showing us a link where this is so.

Who are you? Are you really posting in good faith?

Several "contributors" to this site don't post in good faith as they prefer to wind people up, where they demand "proof" of everything said, yet never produce a shred of "evidence" themselves. If you do not want to take it in good faith that the French clubs are guests, if you do not want to look up the fact Les Catalans didn't vote on this last TV deal as they were guests then don't.

FWIW - I'd suggest it's probably anyone who competes in a league governed by anyone who isn't their national body - which could then essentially include the two current professional Welsh clubs also......

Again it’s anyone outside of the UK is a guest.

I think I already stated it somewhere. If a L1/CH club has budgeted or spending 750k on players wages they are classed as full-time.

Nope, the RFL is the governing body for RL in England, Wales Rugby League (WRL) is the governing body for RL in Wales, (with Scotland RL, and RL Ireland the governing bodies for RL in those areas).

The Championship, League One and Two are all RFL governed competitions - where all teams outside England are essentially partaking as "guests".

So I guess the trick would be to get "Players" wages to £749,999.99p, then employ everyone else as a gardner, butler, etc at your home, or as a "consultant" for your regular non-rugby business's to top up their money, lmao.

There is a serious point to the non travel to Toulouse, in that, it gives Toulouse a huge, huge advantage in the league table.
If they are guaranteed 6/7 24 - 0 home wins, plus any other victories that come their way, they have a massive advantage over the rest of the clubs in The Championship, which makes an absolute mockery of the competition.
It seems bizarre that we could go into the season with this arrangement in place.
There may be good intentions behind the "rule" but, the reality is that Toulouse, one of the favourites to make the Championship GF, are gaining unfair advantage over their promotion rivals, especially if any of the other "contenders" follow the same route as London and choose not to travel.
In order to protect the integrity of the competition, an urgent remedy is required.

May i politely suggest you read the operational rules regarding the requirement of teams travelling to Toulouse.

One you have completed that task it think you will probably delete this rediculous post.

Good lad

Well they will gain unfair advantage. Unfortunately for London they went down another unfair route instead of simply playing the game.
