GeordieSaint Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I’d have to say Toronto this year; they’ll bring the glitz and the glamour and I’d expect to be a benefit to the TV renegotiations. Then I hope Toulouse are the next side to come through being a great RL club and real potential to develop the sport in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Broncos are now a club with a genuine history. Wasn't there a mad plan to get a Perth team in SL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubby Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 A Toronto versus Toulouse Championship Grand Final is literally a dream scenario. Knowing the RFL they will play the final at Salford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One F in Wakefield Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I think Toulouse would be the best option, give catalans a proper derby and increase the pool of french players coming into the game. I like Toronto but im not sure how sustainable it is long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2010 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I think they'd all add something but my preference in order would be Toulouse Toronto York Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headtackle Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Both TWP and Toulouse would be good additions to SL and shame can't have both under the current format A Toulouse / Catalans rivalry would be great for French RL and if fixtures were scheduled with a bit of imagination there could be some great week long away trips on offer TWP would guarantee media publicity for the game With either of those two I dont think the game can lose. Should be a good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Over the last year or so I have been gently trying to persuade Mrs Dunbar that Toulouse would be a nice a place to live for some of the year... full of culture, beautiful architecture, restaurants and cafes. It won't work overnight of course but I am strategically playing the long game for the beautiful long hot summers of Super League to come.

Stirlin Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 York a big city ? , you are having a laugh , takes only an hour to walk from east suburb to west. Much as I would like the Knights in SL we are still finding our feet in the Champ' , maybe a few years down the line....and we will have a stadium worthy of SL.

Maybe not a big city but a well known one that would be a great place for away fans to visit. I agree that it's too soon for them in the next couple of years but it's good to see them doing well. I think both the SL and Championship are going to provide a lot of entertainment this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Plow Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 If it was between Toulouse and Toronto I think it would be a win win for SL. A French derby or a new North American fan base to grow the game. Hopefully London stay up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Shepherd Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Featherstone, obviously. But in the real world, it's going to be Toronto, with Toulouse potential dark horses. Selfishly, I hope neither of them go up. I love the Toulouse away weekend and im sure I'll love Toronto later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Both Toronto and Toulouse with no club being relegated. A 14 team SL will be a vast improvement, 26 league games plus Magic and there's no loop the loop games. Both promoted clubs will add massively to SL. Toulouse will bring quality French players to SL and add to the national squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fevtom Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I would also go for a 14 team super league, but if we’re just picking one from the championship (and assuming it’s not Fev) then I think Toulouse deserve it the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be astonished if they finished above York. I was going to say the same about Fax, we have been atrocious this season but still managed to only lose 2 games we probably were not expected to win. Hopefully thats a good omen but from what Ive seen so far the predictions of 2nd and 3rd are way off the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues Ox Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Of the teams I would like to see in Sl it has to be Toulouse, they are going to be around for the long term where as I don't expect Toronto to be around even in 3 or so years let alone 10. Also worrying times if we are talking about Sheffield as a possible SL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it is finished then lets pass judgment shall we?

Mattrhino Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Toulouse. Nothing against TWP but Tolouse are a proper RL club and a French derby in SL would be a massive event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
