Correct Toulouse being in NL 2 would not help any current NL 2 clubs [ exactly as it will not help any NL 1 clubs either ] but it would still benifit Toulouse , Obviously being excempt from relegation will be benificial to Toulouse because hopefully that is where they will finish [ in a relegation place ]

whether it does or it doesnt, for £100k you would expect these clubs and their fans could behave with a bit of grace

Correct , same as Salford and 6 behind Celtic , but still more than most other clubs

if your going to bang on about how much Leigh offers in terms of youth development, you really have no place to moan when they are expected to use it

What community ?

i'm sorry, i was under the impression that toulouse were permitted as many aussies as they liked. if this isn't the case then i apologise, but they're still allowed more than most of the other NL1 teams

why is it relevant that they've been around for 70 years? they've joined a new league hierarchy for the first time and have skipped NL2. you can dress it up how you like but it's still fast tracking.

how can a club be helpful to NL1 clubs but not NL2 clubs?

they have joined in NL1, there was no way for them to qualify from NL1, what use would it have been to them and NL2 clubs to make them play in NL2 for a year?

and NL1 clubs and NL2 clubs are very different things

Are you really trying to argue there is a meaningful difference between saying

NL1 and NL2 arent the same thing

and

NL1 and NL2 are different things

are you asking what the differences between NL1 and NL2 are? surely you already know that Starry, one is NL1 and one is NL2, one is the 2nd tier of RFL pyramid one is the 3rd, one is made up of generally bigger clubs than the other, one is a bigger competition than the other, one has better attendances than the other, one has a higher profile than the other, one is in general a bigger league than the other
