Garbage. Rugby League today is a fully professional sport with really good TV coverage. It's at it's strongest ever. No need to reply, I know your not serious.... |

Even though I'm a Leigh fan, Bradford (if finances allow) are a Super League club. BUT the Odsal situation is a major problem that needs resolving sooner rather than later.

The Club no longer has a problem with Odsal. Bradford council may have a problem with a hole in the ground they can longer get extortionate rates for plus many Bradfordians no longer wishing to vote for them. I am sure Bradford Bulls can grace the city of Bradford again, as a Superleague club, with the assistance of Nigel Wood. These things unfortunately do take time but like you I do hope for a resolution soon. |

Bernard Gausch long ago dismissed the idea his club should be playing French players even though they were admitted to SL by Richard Lewis to do just that so we could have a return to GB.v.France tests. Those tests died out the other year and Catalans in any case don't even have a French reserve side or run a French academy.
Gausch has no intention of doing anything different to what Argyle has done. Which is nothing for grass roots RL in their respective countries. This was evidenced by every English SL club and several more committing to Reserve teams. TWP & Catalans ignored this and went out and bought marquee players...
Gausch disgusted the SL bosses by signing Folau, they asked him to come and see them and he refused. I wouldn't hold your breath for Catalans to be in SL beyond next year.

Agreed Donnyman, is Valley parade not an option ? They need to be based in the city don't they. I hated visiting Odsal, apart from that we always lost, you needed binoculars to watch the game. Their first game after they got relegated from SL was away to us in 2015, and the atendance was around 7500, mainly because they brought over 2K fans. BIG CLUB |

Or give them more time and a bit of support rather than a mountain of obstacles?
The other option would be to have an arrangement where English players and coaches worked over the winter in the French Elite 1 to bring that standard up? You would then have a bigger player pool of French players, less emphasis on Catalans and Toulouse to provide them and those test matches would be relevant. |

He wants rid of any non English clubs.
It wouldn't matter if you had 17 players born in Perpignan itself, he would still want rid.
Unless their are new rules, written, agreed and enforced, Catalan will do what EVERY other club does and try to assemble the best squad that they can to compete in SL, which seems pretty straightforward.
Were the Catalan academy rated "outstanding" and yet, his poster says they do nothing ?? You can see that he has an agenda |

I think we were given dispensation to play at Valley Parade for a year or two whilst we pursued one of our failed Odsal redevelopments, but the pitch is way too small (short) for permanent Rugby. And the rent is absolutely astronomical too. Sadly Valley Parade is not a possibility. The aim has to be to build something on the brownfield site literally across the road from Odsal and invite Bradford Park Avenue who are in some ways our sister club. |

Where's your logic or evidence "coaching" existing Elite 1 players will make them all Superleague players.
As for "give them time" read on for the reality...... |

The timing is predictable. TWP collapse and Wilby has to do something to try to keep his own pipe dream going.
My guess is Argyle has taken up all the shares at New York and will build the game in the USA as it has a stronger base there.
