Think it's a kick in the teeth to all the true Rugby League cubs like Widness, Leigh, and Halifax. Me been nice, I took the time to link a profile to each of these clubs, just in case you don't know who they are, what with your 10500 die hard fans been new to the sport and all.
I think it's absurd that celtic are allowed to have as many overseas players as they want, they have been hand-fed by the RFL for the last 4 years, and have absolutely no right to be in the top tier of our game. If they had worked hard to gain promotion and stay there on their own back I wouldn't have a problem with them, but as well all know it's not the case. And I know for a fact, the majority of the Rugby League world agrees with me

Its been going on for years its not new the extra oversea players Gateshead (when they were brought into Super League) Fullham sorry London Broncos sorry Quins. Expansion is a thing we have to do and new teams are always going to be given extra privileges. At least this time they were made to come trough the ranks and not just put directly into Super league as the others were and that includes Catalan who were formed out of UTC. Get over it

Catalans were not formed out of UTC, they are UTC. UTC were formed by XIII Catalan and St Esteve merging and St Cyprien joining later. They adopted the name Dragons Catalans at a later date but it was just a name change from UTC.
And it is inaccurate to say that "they were put into SL directly" when they were one of the top teams in the French league. Granted the French league is a lower standard than the old NL1 but it's hardly similar to Paris St Germain who were created out of nothing.

Unlike Hull Kr with their recent dispensations on Lovegrove and Gene Kr are as much of a joke as Crusaders. Try getting a ground where the away fans dont have to visit amsterdam to watch a game
