I have it on good authority that Kevin Sinfield is a major target of the Toulouse club. We are hoping to sign Kevin for the 2012 super league season on the condition we get a super league licence. Kevin is thought to be keen to moving to the South of France as the lifestyle is very appealing to him, and as he will be 32 in 2012 he would be able to finish his career down there, earning a nice packet for someone ending their career. I for one am very hopeful we can pull it off.

Join the queue...

Nice try but hes already signed for Salford dontcha know.........

And Warrington.. again!

Cant apply for a 2012 franchise as don't meet the criteria for a Championship club to apply.

One of the points being . Club must have either won the GF or northern rail. Or got to the final.

Can't see you lot pulling one off over either Sinny signing for you or for that matter Toulouse being in SL in 2012!

But you already know that don't you?

You can tell it's the off season can't you?

We'll see, were not even entered into the northern rail cup so hardly a level playing field

Haven't the RFL reserved the right to invite clubs to apply for a franchise even if they haven't met the 'on-field' qualifying criteria laid down?

(That's what I were told earlier in the season when I asked the same question on here.)

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?
