Expansion is a thing we have to do and new teams are always going to be given extra privileges. At least this time they were made to come trough the ranks and not just put directly into Super league as the others were and that includes Catalan who were formed out of UTC. Get over it

Catalans were not formed out of UTC, they are UTC. UTC were formed by XIII Catalan and St Esteve merging and St Cyprien joining later. They adopted the name Dragons Catalans at a later date but it was just a name change from UTC.

And it is inaccurate to say that "they were put into SL directly" when they were one of the top teams in the French league. Granted the French league is a lower standard than the old NL1 but it's hardly similar to Paris St Germain who were created out of nothing.

Unlike Hull Kr with their recent dispensations on Lovegrove and Gene
Kr are as much of a joke as Crusaders.
Try getting a ground where the away fans dont have to visit amsterdam to watch a game
