what r u laughing at...especially with some of the boring posts you put on here pal.

thanks! I was laughing because quins/cats games have generally been very competative, so is a good game to show.

Quins have about 500 fans & Cats are french??

Plenty of teams in NL that would support the superleague better
Barrow, Halifax, Widnes, Leigh would get much more support, more fans, mean bigger gates, more cap.

oh & chuck in that welsh team as well

Oh, and ban those Yorkshire teams too - do nothing but the bring the game into disrepute

Bo11ocks, none of those clubs would beat Catalans average crowd which must be circa 9000.

if any championship team can get 18,000 for a home game with warrington,let them in.
catalan deserve their place in super league,good average home gates and a wembley final,not bad in 4 yrs

FWIW I agree with them on Quins, they really don't deserve a place in Super League, they don't bring anything at all, on the field or off it.

I love Catalans though, when they were struggling terribly at the start of the season I felt as crestfallen as if Saints were doing it.

Superb place, superb fans.

Not always the Crowd though is it?
It's about expansion.
How can you spread the word of RL, if were sticking to our Northern Roots? You think sports which get like 30000+ Like Football got the crowds they did because they stayed still? not really, because they roamed and went to London, Manchester, Scotland etcc.. and the rest is history.
We need to do the Same.

If your looking for Barrow and that, maybe make the Co-op Championship a little more lucrative, so that they can challenge the bottom pack in Super League.
