However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

It's simple for me - It's bloody ridiculous to have a team from not just another country (France, which is restrictive enough), but another continent, thousands of miles away.
The vast majority of fans can't travel there, nor can (most of) their fans travel here.
Sport is for the fans.
What next?
Aussie club(s)?
SL becoming a feeder for pre-NRL teams to prove something?
Maybe allow some South-Sea Island teams, as they don't have a strong enough local league?

Seem their backer has either run out or isn't prepared to bankroll the club anymore.

As for the game in France, it actually started in 1934 when Jean Galia formed the first team.'"
The Vichy government banned all Rugby League it was booming at the time .
