So it's confirmed, Fax will be playing away. I'm almost certain someone posted on here that we'd be at home. Link: http://www.code13rugbyleague.com/2012/0 ... um=twitter

I just wish that the RFL would have the balls to announce that they are giving Toulouse a SL franchise in 2015 instead of making us go through this obvious charade to keep them in the limelight.

This is still a better idea (and cheaper) than having a French club in our league.

Absolutemon!

Plus - let them go into Super League i say. They'll struggle - no doubt about it and then maybe the RFL will turn their attention to heartland clubs that are struggling - like Bradford Bulls.

Cracking stuff, what a team, sounds a real money spinner
And there was me thinking we already had a Challenge Cup, a SL and Championships.

Sorry but I have no interest in this gimmick comp. Whats the point of it? I would send our U23 team to be honest and let them get some game time.

Agree, but, we don't know the date yet and when we do the cost of air tickets will be sky high. If we did know a date, then a flight to Toulouse or Carcassonne could be arranged now irrespective of who we play.

going to cost alot more than its going to make thats for sure because who will attend? when its likely the english teams will field fringe players and the french who will just finish their comp put out full teams giving them a likely win which fat nige can then claim how far french rugby is coming to be able to beat the likes of fev and fax.

if it was being played for the right reasons (for fans to enjoy good games) then it would be played maybe by the 2 losing semi finalist from the nrc and the 2 finalist from the french league as a build up at blackpool like the grand finals day
