The Daddy

Does anyone have a link for where this game is gonna be shown?

Avignon....huge potential

Essentially this is the pro league that was going to be launched in tandem with France hosting the World Cup.

Super 13 would be better. Top 13 is just a silly reference to the name of the Union competition

If people want to talk about Leigh they should start a separate thread

Recruitment for next season has been underwhelming to say the least

This is sad news, I wish Tom the best of luck with his treatment.

Any details on who the new owners are? I'm getting the impression that Mick Hogan is behind it or helped to facilitate it.

I agree. Next season is gonna be much tougher for Toulouse.

Which I agree with. Their old ground where the Elite team play, at its peak was a cauldron. I remember Widnes getting beaten there in the Challenge Cup several years back, great atmosphere. Stade Ernest Wallon is a great venue just too hig for TO.

Zac santo is some player

Thanks, unfortunately RL people in the UK are happy for things to stay as they are while the world changes around them and other sports continue to get more and more exposure in terms of coverage and column inches. Women's football, MMA, Boxing for example. The Sky TV contract gets lesser and lesser and there doesn't seem to be any serious effort by other broadcasters to compete for the coverage. The sport is just too regional right now over here. That really needs to change and all I see are echo chamber comments. I think people on here and elements of the RL community would prefer to be right and win an argument and not have a problem with the sport becoming more and more irrelevant in the eyes of the joe public.

Liverpool City Region, the metropolitan areas and Merseyside metropolitan county are all well over 500,000. That's not making anything up.

It's not about the game but you are bias towards your own club and heartland clubs whereas I have a bias towards newer/expansion clubs and clubs with larger catchment areas

It was just a joke calm down

Is it coz Fev lost last week that you're on a downer with the whole sport?

Yeah I'm sure most on there will disagree more vehemently than people are here, but it's food for thought.

Hmmm, USAP were very influential in Perpignan and a major Top 14 club. I think they done well coz RL has a rich history in that city and surrounding areas in southern France

You don't have much confidence in RL do you?

Maybe I'll do that then.

The city, metropolitan area, city regions and council boundaries all have varying distinctions and populations

I've been to those places and never raised this topic with locals, I'm raising it here though.

Sorry, I don't understand your point fully. But our club is not successful due to some poor decisions, not having a permanent base or club colours or identity.

I'm listening and replying to everyone some are good factual responses others not.
