Catalans are in RL territory so I have no problem with them apart from no away support for obvious reasons and year on year expensive away game to get to but I don't agree that there should be another French team, one is enough.
I still don't understand the obsession with expanding abroad. Fair enough expand away in the UK, but why not create a European tournament similar to the Heineken Cup in Rugby Union or the Champions League for football? As long as it was made into a lucrative competition financially i'm sure the top teams would love the opportunity to travel into Europe and have the chance of being named European champions Yes there is the issue with there being too many games but i don't think it would be too much of a problem to just extend the season by a few weeks, then again it is the RFL. This will probably get shot down by everyone but oh well!

Because they reckon the English will just hammer everyone else and it'll be so one sided no one will watch. I couldn't disagree more, I for one would love it.
