God I hope not. Would be disastrous for the sport if they pulled out.

because it would create a space for one of the failing English heartland clubs to fill. Would probably save Cas or wakey from going into NL1 |

Catalans are one of the most vibrant and exciting elements to Super League. Take them away and it would look very M62 and very, very dull.
SL needs a strong Catalans. If they are in trouble, the RFL should fund them. They should also consider taxing the other franchises in order to fund the Dragons to the level where they can win SL.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

Non!
Wakefield, Salford and Cas replaced by Toulouse, Paris and Palma would be better. |

Because that worked so well the last time they were all in Super League didn't it.
The sport needs to make a decision. If we want 4,000 crowds, whippets, by-ecky-thumping down the M62 corridor then fine. If we want a colourful, dynamic, exciting sport, that is in some way 'Super' we need to think bigger than we are at the moment. |

[quote="gutterfax":2v2cei1t]I like Bazza. He chose the name of a cross dressing Austalian institutions other persona.....and is your typical Aussie w@nker living in London whilst he tries to get some culture by visiting Prague to get pi55ed on Cheap Star, getting a fondle from a dodgy hooker in amsterdam and eating a snail for a bet when in paris. All of these things will make him a cultural icon when his visa runs out and he is sent the way of his great grandparents....alas, not in chains this time.[/quote:2v2cei1t]
NEW COMPETITION COMING SOON!! YOU COULD BE THE NEXT BARRY McKENZIE!! WATCH THIS SPACE!!

Barry McKenzie will try and keep this argument simple.
Rugby League is not popular enough anywhere else apart from the 'North' of England, PNG and up the East Coast of Australia to catch on to the extent where a club can have any real commercial success out side of these areas.
So don't try.
Make the sport stronger where it is popular first and then MAYBE, just maybe try expanding.
But not before.
This is how Germany lost Operation Barbarossa in WW2.
Too much too soon too fast.
