Do ‘flatcappears’ stop the cap slipping down?

So not one of you can provide a quote where a poster has suggested that French players don't bring anything to the game?

I like to see French players playing their trade over here. It offers them an opportunity that the French system never could. Who want 's to play in the South of France anyway when you could be in Barrow in the rainy season.
The problem is that the French Elite set up is a basket case. Rarely do all the teams complete all of their fixtures. Given the support that they get from regional government they should all be well organised but they are not. If you think that we are provincial you ain't seen nuthin'. I just cannot get my head round the fact that my family's local village, equestrian centre, gets better television coverage and more often than French Elite 1.

French Elite 1 needs to be a feeder league to French Super League teams. Both England and France would benefit from this.

Yes indeed. Catalans and Toulouse (and later Avignon) in Super League can be fed talent by a rejuvenated French Elite competition. English clubs can also benefit from this.

I think Wanderer was referring more to Hakim's impact and popularity at Doncaster. We love him!

Isn't that the goal of expansion? Using our system to promote theirs.
