Firstly, on this thread I ventured forth a clear explanation of why two clubs will benefit French RL strategically. If you choose not to see this that's up to you.
No you didnt you offered what you think might happen based largely on the success of Les Catalans, I think there is only so much growth that can be accheived before reching a plateau.
I do its a message board its my opinion!Secondly, who says the club(s) is/are going to struggle?
You dont have to be a genious to see that despite currently running a magnificent second Les Catalans have struggled to finish higher than 10th is that not struggling?
Some people are saying we should discount Wakefeild because they have not finished above 10th in however many years.
Your way - bringing imports down in Les Cats first - is too slow when we have the opportunity to accelerate the growth of the game in France massively with another SL franchise.
It could also make the game spectcuarly implode, whereas my way would ensure, admittedly slow but steady growth for the one team we have and must cherish, my biggest, possibly my only worry is the health of Les Catalans, maybe I'm blinkered because I have grown a huge soft spot for the Dragons.
As you seem to be solely worried about the playing ranks being French, isn't it obvious that having more French players exposed to SL will benefit the French national team.
Can i ask a question Screeny, Where so you live?
I live in the heartlands and despite some Heartland teams having similar numbers import-wise to Catalans they are derided as "a team of Aussies" I am sick of defending them as not so, but realise that they rely too much on Australian players and will need to lower that if they are to be playing by the same quota rules as the other clubs and I have no reason to belive why they wouldnt be.
You havent seemed to ask yourself why he got his opportunity?Bosc wasn't playing SL, now he is. He's a half.
He is playing halfs because Mick potter gave him the chance to do so when they couldnt get an import in to fill the halfs spot, so again you have almost given me ammo for my opinion that Les Catalans need to bring their imports down allowing more French players like Bosc to fill key postions.
Ditto mateAs you said to DM above, it's your opinion and I respect it, but I feel you're wrong in a strategic sense.
