Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"But having Leigh in Super League won't make Super League more interesting and won't help the RFL improve its feeble and deficient revenue stream any time soon. In fact it will more likely hinder the situation. London, Bradford and Toulouse need to be in Super League, not pathetically obscure Leigh, if rugby league is to improve its standing with sponsors, the media, and the general public in both England and France.'"
Complete tripe.......
A succesful London, Bradford and Toulouse would make SL attractive, not the nomadic and bankrupt London and Bradford of the last 5 years adding no value to a stale and some what dying division.
The notion of big city teams needing to be in the top divisions of any sport are just nonsense...... other wise.... in the premier league surely ::::::: Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Carlisle, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham must all be in and kick out those little suburban clubs list C Palace, Bolton, Wigan, Barnsley, Blackburn, Middlesbrough to name just a few....
Just maybe if the RFL had a clear marketing strategy then just maybe irrelevant of who the teams and locations are in the best division in the northern hemisphere we might just get blue chip sponsors and not sign TV deals going in to the next decade.
Not to mention if numpty fans didnt put the game down at every opportunity we might just grow....
enjoy your RL where ever and who ever you support. Try a visit to the suburb of Wigan in 2016.... ill personally show you round the areas!!!
