Sensible decision.....

Excellent promo video !

Toulouse is a far better opportunity for SuperLeague than Toronto in order to go beyond the M62 corridor.

Toronto should work in North America to promote a local Super League.

With Toulouse, capital city of the french rugby, it's not only a promotion for this club, but also for the french RL and for the whole of Super League and Rugby League in the northern hemisphere.

Look why oh why should they be in, for me its has to bradford, leigh mich better choice and makes it a small time insular league.

As a southern based supporter just as quick for me go to Toulouse as going up North, but better weather too.

Has to be Toulouse

They don't do pies though

À big city club would help French rl, it's far enough away from catalans and close enough to the aude region to attract young players from there, it'll be good if toulouse can boost rl around the aude and toulouse as much as the catalans have in perpignan. 

 

 

[barnyia]

If they get in I can see a couple of the catalans French fringe players moving to toulouse, could be a good move for Lucas Albert etc

Who are the bigger club in Perpignan now Barnyia, Catalans or the Union team? 

[barnyia]

The union still gets slightly bigger crowds, but I reckon they're at an equal level now, but if usap get back into the top 14 they'll probably be the bigger of the two.

Toulouse will get a large chunk of supporters from the Tarn region, Albi in particular. They got a 6,000 crowd in Albi against Leigh and get big support from there. RL fans in Lot-et-Garonne will also attend TO games. With them playing at the big RU stadium in the centre of town I can see them averaging 10,000, Covid withstanding 

[barnyia]

The catalans crowd may drop as quite a few people go to watch them from carcassonne, but if the fixture list is planned properly I reckon quite a few fans will go to both, especially in the aude area. 

Toulouse has a bigger catchment area than the catalans, with it being a city surrounded by rl playing towns and not touching a foreign border where rl is not known. 

It could be a massive boost for French rl,

Catalans having a French derby can only help in that though.

I agree Barnyia (Many fans will go to both) Toulouse though has a far bigger catchment area.

Could be exciting times ahead:)

On another note any news on the election?

Luc lacoste has unveiled his list today

Another game on via occitane on Saturday, xiii catalans v Toulouse, and St gaudens are streaming their Sunday game against carcassonne on you tube too. Maybe the lockdown is making the elite 1 teams and the fédération a bit more productive and realise that some things are possible if you try!

Getting rid of the fantasy of Toronto and replacing them with the reality of Toulouse will be the best decision Super Leage have ever done.

Not only will it be better for Super Leage  in the long term but should improve the international game with a stronger French national team.

Indeed, having Catalans in SL has really helped, hasn't it ? 

[Mattrhino]

Should be Tolouse but no doubt they will give it to Leigh if Derek Beaumont sponsors some competition with AB decking no money probably just free garden decking for all SL club chairmen.

Probably yes, imagine the French team without players who’ve come through the Catalans system.

Like I said before why don't we kick them out and bring in fax, leigh and bradford call it the m62 insular small time league 

[newbe]

The food, the weather the ambiance of the area, Toulouse all day long. Beautiful away days. Though still a Cats fan what a derby it would be 12000 plus crowd, should imagine french tv covering would be intense.
