That's what I said basically although I meant SL may well remove them because they had failed.

They won't fall, as long as Gausch can spend all his money on English/Aussie players they will never fall, so the plug has to be pulled sometime, and it ain't de-railing anything to say this because if they are not removed 2022 and a worthy English club loses out it will be a travesty. I would advise you to leave moderating to the moderators.

Otherwise the next thread is [i"How do we help Toronto Wolfpack to become a loved and cherished Superlague club to grace SL forever and encourage more NA clubs".......

You are still making stuff up.

Who knows what will happen beyond 2021, I certainly dont.
Despite me posting that ALL clubs in SL should develop their own players, you are questioning why I have said that they shouldn't ?

You keep banging on about Catalan not doing "enough" to develop players and not having "enough" of their own players in their squad.
Again, I suggested that there should be a number put into the criteria for them competing. However, they aren't too different to some SL clubs (not having too many club trained payers).
You also keep banging on about Catalan not producing enough players for the national side, last time I looked they didn't do too badly.
However, apart form 1 club being expected to provide the national squad, which is just crazy, they would of course be disadvantaged if they effectively had to play X number of additional games, in an already testing season - this is one of the main reasons why there probably should be an additional 1 or 2 French clubs in SL - in ADDITION to the current SL sides.

Of course there has to be a TV deal which has some balance to ALL competing sides, although it does seem that Toronto are struggling in this respect, which adds further fuel to the anti expansion argument.

As for there being a "limit" of 3 overseas clubs in a league of 12. I've been saying for a long time that the league should expand to accommodate these clubs and NOT have a situation where the current sides are merely replaced with "plastic" clubs.

You need to define "worthy", just because a club has been around for a long time doesn't make them any more (or less) worthy.

Think about how the workplace functions, "This is Ted, he's been here 63 years,he can't use a computer and often forgets what he just said, but we're keeping him, Paul shows promise, but he's not even married, he'll most likely leave and make a competitor stronger"

no, doesn't happen anymore.

We CANNOT cling to the idealism of (Hovis advert theme here, boy freewheeling down a hill in Ilkley) how life used to be. Do you want rid of Sky, back to the bakerlite switch behind the TV, a round earth pin, the girl with the balloon and National Anthem at midnight?

We MUST embrace POSITIVE change, not change for the sake of change, but change we need.

As for leaving moderating to moderators more than happy to do so.I will, however, express my opinion within the AUP.

This was the only bit I understood in your post. Happy to change Catalans for Bulls, and Toronto for Newcastle.

That would be one heck of a nett gain business wise. I hope you would not suggest such a change was merely due to being prejudice against overseas clubs?

It's merely that doing such a swap would make Superleague a stronger business, higher crowds better player development and a touch of expansion to boot.

When are you hoping for these changes.
Bradford, at the moment are sinking fast (albeit with various rescue plans being muted) and Newcastle are in the third tier
You appear to be the opposite of Jean Capdouze, bigging up UK clubs that are still a long way down the pecking order.
Granted, Bradford are a sleeping giant (maybe) but, Newcastle, although getting better are still some way off SL.

Leigh, London and Toulouse and York will be the likeliest candidates for promotion this season and out of those, it would be great to see York make it into the top flight but, I wouldn't begrudge any of them a place in the top flight.

1. I do because I read it up. Superleague get to choose who is in Superleague 2022, and will be no longer forced to accept anyone they don't want which the current TV deal forces them to do.

2. I have to bang on because you can't accept Catalans and Toulouse can hardly produce any French professional quality players and the small number they do have is going down - I looked this up.

3. And I've been telling you for a long time there aren't the quality of players about to go to 14 clubs, the SL clubs said this over a year ago.

Your the one who ignores the facts and "bangs on". Listen to the Bosses in the game who say these things.....

Bradford have just been taken over and have Nigel Wood at the top and Eric Perez as CEO - how is that sinking???

Newcastle are owned by a multi-Millionaire Semor Kurdi who can just sign a whole SL quality team up???

Both will offer good player development systems i.e. Foundations, academies and reserves. whilst TWP and Catalans offer nowt of the kind They just leach off the game here.

Sorry that we keep disagreeing mate, but these are truly the facts.....and your not grasping them

what does read it up mean?

He could. If he wanted to. Union's his passion though.

You not aware of Woods CV?

Research my dear boy...

Yeh, a very powerful and influential man in the world of rugby league

How is your CV going?
