We've already got 1 french team so you haven't got a chance really. There are more suitable teams that Toulose who would want to be in Super League.

IIRC the RFL added a clause, that basically said that clubs need to have got to the final of one of the comps to apply, unless the RFL like you, in which case they can make an exception

We'll that's only one criteria I chose to mention there are the other as well. Im pretty sure by the criteria widnes and fax can apply. Although I think widnes are nailed on for 2012.
And to reply to tvoc, I'm can't say iv heard that, but wouldn't be surprised with anything the Rfl do.

I'm just going off the criteria ie win or reach final, average. Crowd of 2500 for 2010 ect.

Wrong - quite the opposite really. The RFL would love to have another French club in the SL - why do you think they were invited to join the Championship?

The South of France is a perfect location to expand the SL into - it has a ready made supporter base and would be exactly the kind of thing the RFL would be likely to do.

personally I wouldn't consider Toulouse the South of France, Perpignan and Carcassone

Toulouse No way

It's in France and it's in the South of the country, although I kinda get what you're saying.

More chance of me starting at Quarterback for the New England Patriots on Monday night than Sir Kevin Sinfield joining Toulouse!!!

And believe me that ain`t ever going to happen!! Sadly for me

Why would Tououse want even want him? Unless they are desperate for someone who can kick but goes hiding during play?

All started by the same guy on a new account with next to no posts. amazing how the other thread managed 6 pages.

I have to ask, why would someone got to the trouble of creating a user account, post a load of bollox until said user account was banned then create a second user account to do the same?

You are seriously pathetic my friend - there must be something fundamental missing in your life.

Said it before and I'll say it again - its an illness.

Geography not your strong point

I can see a few clubs throwing a lot of money at Sinfield. I doubt the Salford one rumour is true, but you can see a club like toulouse targetting Sinfield as a big boost for a license. Will Sinny be able to resist?

I actually stand by everything i've said. What is pathetic is that you chumps dedicated EIGHT PAGES to me! Equally pathetic is your forum moderator banning me for having an opinion different to his own, and for having the nerve to post negative things about his team! I think he fancies himself as some kind of dictator, a bit like saddam. He'll proabaly ban me for this, just to make himself feel important.

they have nothing to lose


<fx: awaits groans>

TAXI...

OK, gone.

Mc F the "Jim'll fix it" of SS.COM

Not everyone is motivated solely by money.

I get the definite impression that Sinfield could be one such person.

I could perhaps see him making a lifestyle choice for his family but I'd expect Leeds to attempt to keep him close and have a post playing career mapped out for him in either coaching or possible the administration side of the game depending on his outlook.

Super League have inserted a clause into their franchise criteria, whereby an overseas club can apply for a franchise (irrelevant to meeting any of the criteria), if they are invited by the governing authority. This makes it obvious that they are a shoe-in for 2012. They don't actually need to have 2,500 average crowds, have made a major final, have a £1million turnover or a player development system in place. Instead, the just have to wait for the inevitable invite, and turn up at the party. I thought more people would be aware of this?

No clubs have to have 2,500 average crowds, a £1million turnover or a player development system in place to subbmit an application, so were no different there. Why do flatcappers find it so hard to understand?
Overseas clubs are not even entered into the Northern fail cup, how are they expected to win it?

Must be a tough decision for Sir Kevin - cold, wet, dark and dank Oldham for the south of France lifestyle... cheep booze, sunshine, If you dont want to go Kev - send me your tickets!!

As mentioned before - he would be out of place there - he doesn't want to lose.
