Those like Snowie saying they are out should follow through if they don’t want Toulouse, or anyone not from the North of England in Super League, and find another sport. I spent ten years working with a bloke who maintained Londoners should not play rugby league. The game is held back by parochialism, glass half full mentality, and just a pure and simple misery guts approach to life where moaning is the norm.
It’s some teams self serving mentality that has strangled the game through self interest, not Catalans or Toulouse.
Newcastle are coming through after thirty years of constant growth but I suppose they are too far away for some and have the wrong accent? They will soon be pushing for entry.
Shame for Fev but I fear their entry would be just one season, who knows, it may be for Toulouse.
Wakey have a massive season ahead, so do 11 other teams.
Those slagging off the RFL forget the elite is run by Super League.
I just wonder when some of you last smiled at anything you misery guts.

there's hell of a difference between a side from london and a side from abroad and there's now way is wanting sides within GB holding back the game, super league europe never worked at the start with PSG departing and you should realize it was the RFL that's introduced these sides with one not even lasting a season in SL.

Makes intresting read

Of course it does because it’s the truth.

It’s not just RL we now live in a world where truth and practicality are routinely ignored. It’s the Disneyfication of the mind.

Everyone is equal, there are no winners or loses and everyone is included. So long as it looks good and appears virtuous then sod the truth and forget reality just live for the moment.

The Chinese and the Taliban must be in dreamland at the moment is they see western civilisation wish itself out of existence.

Sure it’s only RL but the same harsh realities exist, when the money runs out and there is no more lipstick to put on the pig we will all crash and burn.

It’s like the kings new cloths and there seems to be nobody left with the guts to say he’s naked, just clown princess like Hetherington.

Where have all the leaders gone, the ones who could say no, that’s nonsense. There probably still there but we can’t hear them for the Twitter rabble and lame media.

Good grief I hope we're not one of them. Toulouse won it fair and square, they arent a Toronto back by a Charlatan who disappeared at the first sign of trouble, I think they could add real value to the division, as a sport we looked beyond the end if our nose.

Re: So.... : Mon Oct 11, 2021 8:28 pm  

“Another top-flight supremo who did not wish to be named said: “If you had a secret ballot among Super League clubs about whether they want a French team in, it would be 100 per cent no.””
But, in the same article, Leeds, Warrington and Catalans welcome the inclusion of Toulouse. So, basically Rugby League Live has drawn a sensationalist conclusion from one or two anonymous people and the whole article is potentially tripe.
Why are rugby league people so keen to see only the negative. If every poster on RLFans moaning about the attendance at the GF had actually gone to the game it would have been a sell out!
If every poster moaning about Catalans and Toulouse bringing no fans committed to bringing one extra person along (and the clubs got off their arses and actually marketed the games) there’d be bumper crowds.
Honestly rugby league doesn’t need to worry about RU or football or T20 or any other sport - its worst enemy is its own fans!!

There you go ignoring the facts that soon idiotic ideas like what has just happened will spiral our club out of existence if we can't find other ways of plugging the loss of income, car booters isn't the answer

Maybe we should drop a division and get away from all this crap

But they’re not facts Snowie, they’re opinions. And, from reading the article based on “anonymous sources” I’m not sure how valid the opinions are.
The “fact” is we are where we are and there are lots of potential advantages to having a second French side in SL. It’s just up to the fans and clubs and yes, SL and the RFL, to make the most of them and make it work.

What facts? It mostly seems to be opinion. If there is a shortfall it's up to Trinity, and the sport, to find ways to plug it. Christ if traveling to France is a problem then we need to stop pretending to be a professional sport and stick to playing teams in West Yorkshire, that's if the bus fair doesn't cost too much.

Well the seed is sown now so let's see if it turns into flower and going to bloom or whether it turns into another weed

See you are still posting positive stuff Snowie. I read you were done.
