You know the French smashed the kangaroos in test series in Australia when Australia were strong

English clubs would rather an over the hull Aussie than develop a young French player
Back when the sport was a different sport.
French 15 year old kids liv g in beautiful south of France arent moving to north of England for a chance of earning 50k in SL lol

Guys guys there’s a reason the nrl is the biggest rugby comp on earth and super league is one of the smallest

just let the Aussies grow the game as we’ve shown we can do for over 100 years and you can ride our coattails

And yet the smaller competition has been more expansionist friendly.

go figure.

Yep just brought in a second team from Wigan instead of Toronto );
Nobody was “brought in”. You do understand how promotion and relegation systems in sport work don’t you?

having gone bust there was nothing stopping toronto joining the championship and building for a shot at promotion again.

Maybe you should learn a bit of rugby league history and sports history before talking bs
Haha yeh only reason RL is so big in two states of Australia is because soccer never took off here. If it had it would be the dominant sport, as it is in most countries around the world.

if we ever see rl take off beyond two states then we can get excited.

The rules were skewed in favour of Leigh

Leigh would e received ten million pounds over time as a super league club from the game

Toronto received zilch and had to pay for travel costs

then when covid hit got booted
