European Cup : Fri Nov 25, 2011 4:16 pm  

This is on a couple of other boards: http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=513652 Apparently we're being sent to play in France? Anyone heard anything? By all accounts nothing's been finalised but I reckon it could prove interesting.

Why Fax instead of Batley?

Sounds like a plan to keep Toulouse in the spotlight for the next 3 years to me.

Because the RFL are stupid , they've picked the top 2 league finishing clubs as the top 2 , but used the play off finishing places for 3 and 4

This is indeed happening in what I believe will be known as the French Anglo cup Featherstone, Leigh, Sheffield and Halifax will play Toulouse and the top 3 from the french league from last season with Halifax I believe going to Toulouse. If lets say Halifax, Featherstone and Leigh win but Sheffield lose England will win 3-1 and each team will get £12,000 in prize money but if lets say Halifax and Featherstone win but Leigh and Sheffield lose then the prize money will be split between all the English and all the french teams and if Halifax are the sole winners out of all the English clubs then we will get naff all for our efforts. Very strange but then again this is the RFL

Haven't told the wife that Toulouse have withdrawn from our league, so we were going to go one weekend any way,
This way we get two weekends away.
Viva La France.
