The hatred is strong in this one

Yeah, if the Toronto team joins then the idea was that they would play all their home games in one massive block and then all the away games together as well. They are also going to pay for the travel and accommodation of all the visiting teams.



It could work but I do agree with jean, why cant they just join the usarl? Again this is what I said earlier about the french league. Instead off just developing one system why don't they put money into the American and French leagues and make those systems better and spread the game that way?

Quote ="yorksguy1865"Really happy with this decision, if French teams want to join our system then great as long as more come into it, 4 seems a decent number. If they are serious about this European super league idea then maybe teams in Ireland and perhaps Spain should be considered in our system, I think Catalans have played in Barcelona before, which is why I say Spain. What I would say though is someone needs to put money into the French league. In the long term French teams coming into our system isn't sustainable because of travel costs and home advantage etc. Develop a decent French league and we could have a European competition or expand the world club series ">further.'" Tbf, Catalan have shown that there may be home advantage but, that this turns on it's head when they come over here to play, so there is no overall advantage for them. Although it's great to see another French club entering the comp, I just don't understand how it can be sustainable.

Given the performance of Frances 14-30 best players yesterday you have to consider the decision to put them in Championship 1 as a realistic one

If they want to raise the standard of French rugby why not send Leeds, Wigan, Saints and Wire to take part in the French League, renaming it European SL Div 1 and rename what we have left as European SL Div 2. Alternatively we could sort out the British game, without the help of the French. Long gone are the days when using Euro or European in a company name was a business generator.

No but competitive games between England and France would be a business generator.
