Widnes and Fev are refusing to go to France as well so 2 more 24-0 wins for Toulouse, who with teams refusing to go France will be long odd's on to win Championship and a Super League place next season
I don't know about that, you may be right, but there is a re-structure of SL coming up plus can a club really be promoted on a series of phoney wins, or if it's tight a phoney points difference? If the re-structure was to be 10 clubs in SL with Toulouse promoted that leaves the number of English clubs for SKY as eight.
SKY required more than that under the old deal, maybe they won't mind only 8 English clubs 2022 if they are paying far less for Superleauge?
So maybe those who really believe, and aren't just Wumming either here or on TRL , that those who run our game see the future of the game as "Anglo French" will get their way and they will see "Expansion"
But the only "expansion" I can ever see, as was the case with Toronto, is a massive expansion of air miles and the massive expansion of the costs of such travel.
Then what after that? Do we feed in Avignon 2023, and Villeneuve 2024? Who then steps down and reverts to semi professional for them?...Useless Wakey and Fartown?
Once we have four """French""" clubs in Superleague can we resurrect the whole purpose of Catalans in the first place and revive France.v.Great Britain test matches home and away every season?
Do we change the qualification to play for France (so "France" can compete), to simply that a player can be selected for France as long as they play for a French club??
Do SKY renew 2025 when half the game will be "Anglo French" but with hardly a Frenchman in sight let alone any French RL TV deals?
Thoughts??
