Whilst I’m sure improving the National team was one of the objectives, I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t be the only thing.

Are you saying you don’t believe Catalans are an asset to the league?

Also, I’m not inventing millionaires, Argyle is doing it right now, but you’re challenging whether we should allow it.... why not? If he’s stupid enough to throw silly money at it, why stop him? And if it does work, you can bet your bottom dollar there’ll be others who want to follow suit...

I’m more than happy that we’ll agree to disagree on this one. I agree with all your latest points on the history of the game and expansion attempts in the past, and it all being about survival - I guess where my head is at, is that expansion offers the potential of more than just survival, it offers huge growth potential if done right (which it never has been), and I think it’s worth a shot, you clearly don’t, and that’s cool too. One things for sure, I’ll still love my rugby league, and whatever path the game takes, all I want is for it to prosper and reach its potential - and its a million miles from its potential currently.

You can "over and out" as much as you want, if the French quality player pool is smaller than 1996 and the French TV deal was pulled then what "expansion" are you going on about?

Your welcome to any opinion even if it doesn't have any basis of fact. As long as TWP go round pretending they are the best thing to ever happen to the game here the vast majority of fans will call it out, I thought once in SL TWP would be found out by one and all, but a small percentage of fans still want to argue sending the old Leigh team to play 3,000 miles away as a plaything of a mega rich Aussie is "expansion"

Perhaps you can organise a ban on anyone pointing out how nonsensical it all is? Or you could try posting on Total RL.com. They do threads where your not allowed to post anything but nice comments on TWP. Staying on topic I wonder if 80% of the Salford fans were scratching their heads saying "[iwhere are the Canadian players?[/i" "[iwhere are the Canadian fans"[/i

No just leave it out of the game threads as some of us actually want to discuss the game and leave the politics out of it. There is a thread to discuss expansion as you know.

Well said

The game is over now, time to move on.
