My point is factually correct.
The Super League club owners didn't want Toronto and allegedly voted them out - no doubt if the French clubs are NOT wanted, they could do similar;again.
As it was mooted,during the Licensing period,of a 20 miles gap between clubs,perhaps they could change it to a 20 miles maximum distance for all Super League clubs to travel.
Obviously I have used miles and no other measurement.
Twenty quid maximum travel costs,perhaps?
Exciting times ahead,then? I hate flying,anyway...

"The ultimate aim is to strengthen the competition. This, it is hoped, will in turn produce more players able to compete successfully at international level".


This is the Linky, and of course the two top French clubs were incapable of producing international players who could take on England. Australia or New Zealand.

In fact they presided over a further drop in the numbers and quality such that the 4 nations became 3 nations and the England France test games were hidden away on a dark night in Leigh before being quietly abandoned.....

It was referring to ENGLAND!
However,it now seems English players in,or with experience of, the NRL get selected as their competition is far superior,on and off the field,apparently.
It was meant to improve the standard of players in THIS COUNTRY.
Snowie still wins,though.
Where did Super League go so far wrong...?

The RFL Board have confirmed that part-time teams in the Betfred Championship will not be required to fulfil away fixtures against Toulouse Olympique for as long as the current UK Government quarantine regulations (which require players and other staff to isolate for at least 5 days on their return from France) remain in place. That means Toulouse’s home fixtures against Featherstone Rovers and Widnes Vikings, scheduled for May 1 and 8 respectively, will be postponed – but their first home match of the season, against London Broncos on April 18, will go ahead because the Broncos are a full-time squad. https://www.rugby-league.com/article/57 ... -olympique
