I'd be happy to analyse the issue you two have between you. Again the definition of expansion that Mr. Perez agreed with along with Officials here was an expanded pool of professional players and an expanded pool of TV money.

On the former nearly all ENGLISH SL clubs encourage and help run junior development through their foundations and academies. Salford don't run an academy though. On the latter all the ENGLISH SL clubs attract subscribers to SKY which then funds the TV deal payback......the idea our friend proposes that "Some UK SL clubs fail to do so after how many decades?" isn't really true..................

What is true is Les Catalans stopped their academy and are now nearly an all Anglo-Aussie team and Toulouse want to follow that....No sign of Academy level French player development nor any sign of French TV deals. Do you Snowie think stating these facts makes me a Francophobe?

But that is not entirely true is it?

It's Something that you state quite often because it supports your narrative but in reality it doesn't stack up. The idea that clubs like Salford Widnes Wakefield who all draw less than 5k have the supporter base to add a significant subscription numbers is fanciful. There is no evidence to prove otherwise.

Toronto have got nothing to do with the failings of the three mentioned clubs.

Good post, other "facts" point to Catalans and Toulouse not having Academies either let alone TV deals :) Sadly they offer no more that Toronto did..........

And as such are bigger failures than Salford, Wakefield and Huddersfield will ever be.

when are you going to stop this constant raging about failings making you look like petulant child, none of the clubs have walked away from the game Widnes have chosen to do the same as Featherstone as their have other super league on their boundies two of the mentioned clubs are in the championship but you're chasting them for not having academies
Salford have budgeted and chosen do the same, ever thought that they might just want to keep afloat rather than not paying their bills

as for Toronto they did fail massively and had an oppertunity to correct it but walk away, the last time Iooked Salford, Widnes and Featherstone are all operational and looking forward to 2021

I can't agree with on this on as at least they are linked to St Estève XIII and Toulouse are linked to Toulouse Broncos XIII

Oh dear! Another poster giving Donnyman the facts.

Still,the fact he seems to have made,that by promoting Leigh Centurions to Super League will lead to a huge surge in Sky take-up,when it wouldn't work while they were in The Championship, is a real eye -opener.

Sky will certainly pay out more on the next broadcast deal,now.

Oh,wait...

Toronto blamed Covid for their dimise surely the reduced broadcast deal can also be blamed on covid or are you another one with blinkers :roll:
