May i politely suggest you read the operational rules regarding the requirement of teams travelling to Toulouse.

One you have completed that task it think you will probably delete this rediculous post.

Good lad

Thanks for the advice, really.(btw it's ridiculous, not the advice, just the spelling )

Toulouse have been awarded a 24 - 0 "walkover"

I think that will backfire big time if they win promotion to superleague on points difference and the difference between them and their rivals is only a few points.

I can see court cases By all means give them the 2 league points but to widen their points difference as well is monstrous.

The reward of the 2 points is more than enough

So, with the rules around clubs travelling Toulouse decided by s/c spend, there will be a number of clubs who would prefer not to travel and they will either postpone the fixture or, not play at all due to covid, which contrary to my previous post, could actually count against Toulouse.
OK, they benefited from a 24 - 0 score being awarder in their favour for the Broncos "no show" but, how will thy fare over the course of the season.
There aren't too many Championship clubs spending over the s/c threshold, although it's difficult to find any actual figures for this.
Which leaves some "big" spending clubs who will be prepared to travel, some who will not (like London) and then a number of smaller spending clubs who probably wont travel.
Although league position will be decided base on % of games won, this is a right royal mess.

Toulouse will benefit if the "big spenders" dont travel but, overall, by not playing too many games at home, there will be an huge disadvantage, with them having to rely on their away form.

If things get tight towards the business end of the season, the success of Toulouse and indeed the other challengers may well come down to willingness to travel and not results on the field of play.

You don't think super league will contribute for their officials then?
