I'll gladly accept Toulouse, but i think there should be a long term plan put in place that after a said period Catalans and Toulouse, leave the ESL and help the French domestic league.

why should we help the french ?
do the kiwis/aussies wanna help us ?
typical 'short minded/selfish' PIE.

Why should we help x?
You're selfish [for wanting to help x].

To get a viable international opponent for mid-season tests.

Because the game shouldn't be a game an M62 sport, it's too good for that. We should use every tool, international tests, exhibition games, new teams and amateur aid to clubs to spread the game far and wide.

Typical flat-capper, this is why we are shrinking as a sport.

Its pretty much a certain type of Rugby League fans encapsulated in two lines.

If you don’t want the entire game isn’t set up for the express benefit of a few lower SL /upper championship games you are selfish

It's funny that English fans think the only relevant people in the RL world are 'Kiwis and Aussies'.

Bit harsh, there's plenty of people on here who want a credible France in the game.

It really is that simple expand or contract.
Btw staying as we are = contract
We all know Paris was doomed to fail but, Toulouse with the backing of the French authorities looks like a no brainer !

At the expense of your club??

But the competition is called the European Super League, not the Wakefield, Salford or anybody else Super League. We need to spread the game as far as we possibly can. (Apologies to the clubs named above, just using them as examples, it could have been any club.)
