maybe because Toulouse has more investment potential than the rest ?



probably a minor detail though...

Shouldn,t the investment potential objective to have a Superleague in France, rather than having a superleague with say 3 french teams reducing the finances of English clubs and reducing the no of English players in the comp.

No reason why English players can't play for a French club.

So we could be having our best english players playing in Oz and some others playing in France. That might increase the attendances in the Championship Leagues.

What are you on about?

french SL isn't sustainable



two french SL teams with the LER as feeder clubs would work tho'

Fev havent ' qualified ' to apply for this licence period, neither have Leigh , it is a 2 horse race, Fax or Toulouse

Halifax might find it a bit easier to get ready with a shorter lead in time. Toulouse would probably need a year to ready themselves

Rule books been torn up Starbug, or have you been asleep the last few weeks

If they put it to Fax fans to vote, I'd bet we'd be staying put

Never. We'd get an A licence and take the league by storm!



I'd rather stay put than keep it warm for some other experiment/pet club

Fax as it stands now are the best choice for the licence.



However having been down to watch Keighley in Toulouse twice I think the potential for a sustainable Super League franchise there is huge, especially if they could co exist with Stade Toulousain. Rugby is in their blood there and talking to some of the locals there's a real appreciation for the game.



Oh and their Hot Dogs are downright amazing, which must tick another box on the franchise application form.
