French Rugby League can't ever get the ball to bounce thier way.

We're all awaiting for the French government to help French RL to get back to thier glory days as they promised when they cancelled the World Cup lol

I'm not holding my breathe they'll invest 1 euro into the game.

Congratulations London, fought to get in the final then fought back from behind to win the game and promotion.
Unlucky Toulouse, 6 Inches from promotion! It can be a cruel game as feth and Toulouse fans will tell you.

let’s hope broncos can attract some further investors and build a club worthy of being in SL. They’ve got the stadium for it at long last, just need to build a competitive team and attract fans and sponsors now for long term sustainability.

So out of the last 28 seasons only 4 clubs has won sl and 1 of those isn't in it anymore.
That's 3 teams in 3 decades..
Just thought I'd point that out to mr pro p an r

I think four clubs out of 12 don’t spend the full cap. Wakey significantly so

the big three clubs can just sign players and coaches from the little clubs when they have a good year

If we open this comp up to big cities and investors, that won't be an issue and they'll loss there advantage.
Imagine that they're against it lol.

Only threat so far has been an expansion club..Catalan.. go figure.

Perth red is against such expansion in the the North of England.. Wonder why?
Yet pro expansion here.. Wonder why?

You can't make this shit up.

Arlc needs to take over super league
Or start a totally separate league that bypasses super league

Say four to six French clubs
England have London Manchester Newcastle Liverpool Leeds and Bradford
wales
Toronto and ottowa

So this new ground they are sharing with Wimbledon (AFC?) is worthy of Super League? And will help them with the pints system Vs some of the other SL clubs?

Rumour mill saying that they don't pay any rent on the ground as the Broncos owner loaned the soccer a large amount of money to stop the soccer club going under on condition that the Broncos don't pay any rent until the loan is returned in full, but i stress Rumour.

Yes, it’s just over 9k all seater with corporate facilities. They lose points being tenants rather than owners but it’ll still score more than a number of grounds.

What are your thoughts on the chances of Toulouse being promoted through img ?

Thier crowds weren't great when in SL ( largely due to covid restrictions) and a small crowd to watch them in the final last night .....?

I can’t see them beating cas who are probably going to be the lowest level license along with London next year.

I expect any SL club who gets a lower license grade than a championship club will take it to court tbh.

my guess:
Criteria
Fandom (25%): Cas - Toulouse - Wakey - London
Performance (25%): Cas - who ever gets promoted - wakey - team not promoted
Finances (25%): cas - whoever gets promoted will have a bigger revenue stream- wakey - team not promoted
Stadium (15%): Toulouse - London - Wakey - cas
Catchment (10%): London/Toulouse - wakey - cas

Hudds more a chance of going Down than cas

6800 isn’t small for a top of Championship / bottom of Super League level club. Good base to build on.

From what I understand finishing last in SL accumulates more points than finishing first in the Championship under the new grading. Seems a very genuine possibility that London could still miss out to Wakefield for 2025.
