Toulouse it is then

What happens to the completed fixtures so far??

As they were using players who should not have been in the country--are the results null and void??

Catalan is hardly an example of the RFL expansion programme.

They'd had a top flight French team in Perpignan for many, many years unlike Paris, Gatesehead, Bridgend, Nottingham.

Yes the Dragons are a positive example but not a definitive one.

Hmm..i do feel sorry for the Celtic fans, especially after having gone through the whole Celtic Warriors thing and now this. WRU are probably laughing.

Expansion in a Rugby League area--I would have settled for that instead of Celtic when the franchises were announced.

Why mate? Your team would offer a lot more IMO - large city, huge tourist attractions, no competition (e.g. no league football team), large student population, traditional RL side, good fanbase.

Yeah that's a plan, Celtic + Quins out (sorry Gutterfax

), Widnes + York in.

They were legal last year. They had to leave and come back in the close season - remember them being late back at the start? That's where the problem has arisen. I am guessing they travelled before being given clearance.

No - the players were registered with the RFL so there will be problem with games played.

Nah, let's not be silly.

Stop with the digging. You'll get mud on your Sunday trousers


In the modern era, we have made 2 play-offs, finished second in SL and made (a pretty poor) challenge cup final. So far, you lot have done SFA apart from make a play-off this year.
So, 14 years, 3 top 6 finishes and a CC final.......not bad for a bunch of Cockneys


Yes, Wales have gone very very tits up this year, but London FulhamcrusaderbroncoQuins are just fine thanks

But then surely they would have been stopped at whichever UK airport they flew back to?
