Taking your ' logic ' to the next level,and I disagree that the international game will ' help ' the sport,it is mostly the case that the governing bodies pay for the internationals - I avoid,deliberately,the funding of club trips to Toulouse by the RFL.
By your logic the international sides are wasting their time,and money,to have internationals played.
I shall allow you to go to the Jamaican players and inform them of this,bearing in mind many of them funded a lot of things themselves.
Just because you want the sport played at the bottom of your garden shouldn't prevent the sport expanding.
Soccer clubs,another full time professional sport,travel long distances into Europe,should they prove successful enough in this country.
Strangely,those nasty horrible French clubs travel to England more times in a season than Salford do with their once a year visit to France.
I am surprised you are not acknowledging how professional and well - run,and non-complaining, those nasty horrible French clubs really are.
Maybe wealthy French people are better than wealthy males along the M62 corridor...

What exactly makes me ungenuine? The mere fact that I disagree with you?

But this is what forums are all about, everyone has a right to have an opinion.

isn't is what they chose to do, as British clubs teams have no choice at all in the matter

My point is factually correct.
The Super League club owners didn't want Toronto and allegedly voted them out - no doubt if the French clubs are NOT wanted, they could do similar;again.
As it was mooted,during the Licensing period,of a 20 miles gap between clubs,perhaps they could change it to a 20 miles maximum distance for all Super League clubs to travel.
Obviously I have used miles and no other measurement.
Twenty quid maximum travel costs,perhaps?
Exciting times ahead,then? I hate flying,anyway...

now you've gone from one extreme to the other,

you say it was mooted that 20 miles distance between clubs during the licencing period have you a linky for that

how was that going to work anyway then when there was Leeds bradford cas wakey all within distance of 20 miles just have one club

[u"The ultimate aim is to strengthen the competition. This, it is hoped, will in turn produce more players able to compete successfully at international level".
[/u

This is the Linky, and of course the two top French clubs were incapable of producing international players who could take on England. Australia or New Zealand.

In fact they presided over a further drop in the numbers and quality such that the 4 nations became 3 nations and the England France test games were hidden away on a dark night in Leigh before being quietly abandoned.....

You win Buddy

Widnes and Fev are refusing to go to France as well so 2 more 24-0 wins for Toulouse, who with teams refusing to go France will be long odd's on to win Championship and a Super League place next season

It was referring to ENGLAND!
However,it now seems English players in,or with experience of, the NRL get selected as their competition is far superior,on and off the field,apparently.
It was meant to improve the standard of players in THIS COUNTRY.
Snowie still wins,though.


Where did Super League go so far wrong...?

shot him self in the foot

forgetting about the clubs below them

Most definitely! They chose another hand that feeds,but forgot the game.
