DEANO Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 5 hours ago, damp squib said: In the Championship I agree, but that's more than Catalans were drawing before they entered SL and now they're pushing 10,000. Toulouse should have been admitted on the Catalans model which is tried and tested and was a complete success. In this system they're going to wither away, which maybe was the plan from the start. I don’t get that they should be in super league. There are routes to get in but you have to be good enough sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toulouse don't have a billionaire backer like Toronto. Teams outside the north of England are at a complete disadvantage unless they have mega money.

Steve Slater Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 On 10/10/2019 at 08:51, The Blues Ox said: Just specualtion and I said the same on the Fev forum, but Leeds having a reserves will probably help Fev and is the reason Fev didn't apply for the reserves league. Im sure Fev will now send the pick of their reserves team if not all so they can play as Leeds reserves still giving Leeds plenty of chance to send players to Fev to enhance their development at a level that will be far higher than what any reserves league will be. Sutcliffe and McClelland show great promise but won't get a game with Rhinos at the start until injuries hit the squad, but they need to be playing for Fev, not in the reserves. Luke Briscoe will probably be back with them too until he's needed back at Headingley? What Fev do if players like these are recalled will determine their season, but Longo and Campbell have a good track record at bringing quality players in.

One big issue will be how a new coach manages your star player. Forever in our shadow, forever on your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall Toulouse or Catalans ever having to subsidise travel for clubs, nor should they.

I believe Kiggy is right, I remember that Toulouse did this a couple of seasons back but unsure if they still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
