Toulouse have more french players, just put them in Superleague and Catalans out until they get some natives.

You still seem a tad annoyed you’re not making the annual trip to O.T

.

Nah visiting 2nd Headingley had become a chore really. Nice to let others scamble over it. We're nice like that at Leeds.

6,900 according to Sportinglife website - LOL

This is a ' discussion ' forum, isnt it?

It's the team showing they're in touch with and care about the fans and the sport by not making us pay to go to yet another final and giving someone else a chance. As shown by losing to Catalans, Leeds always have the best interests of the sport in mind...

Yes as I am discussing?

Shush! William desperately needs attention so let's all circle on his 'attendance' post.

IMO, slightly dissapointing after 8 years that we still only have a dozen or so French players in SL , surely there must be some quality in Elite 1 that could step up either with Catalans or UK based clubs?

Elite 1 is not a professional competition, until there is a second professional French team we can't expect much more than what we are producing. Talented kids just get lost to the game if they are not signed up by the Dragons.

Best thing I ever did was adding him to my 'foe list' so I don't see those inane attendance ramblings anymore!

Rugby league has been played in Leigh for a hundred years and still there are no above average super league players from Leigh

The stand facing the camera was closed due to a power failure, the crowd were all in the other stand, and as far as i am aware its the only above average attendance for any play-off game so far this year !!!!

From Leigh, or developed by Leigh?

I didnt realise France was only as populated a Leigh?

If you think the entirety of France represents Catalan Dragons' catchment area, then you are seriously deluded

Ooh, get her,

No I dont but as the only fully pro club in France they do have a slight advantage

Some ' touchy ' bell ends on here tonight

Not really, we have the joys of selecting from amateurs in a few towns in a small region of southern France. Leigh is in a very densely populated area with kids growing up in a more pro-RL environment. Catalans have no advantages at all.

they are a disgreace!!

Pretty pointless them being in SL unless they are growing the French game. How bad must French RL be if they can't form one team from a whole country of jnrs? Their systems must be terrible.

No you have the advantage of developing a jnr system for thousands of kids playing RL in the sth of France with no competition for cherry picking the best. The fact after all these years catalans still can not find 20 decent SL standard players from that pool is a damning indictment on the quality of the French jnr systems and Catalans scouting and development program's for the elite of those jnrs.

In WA we only have around 300 jnrs playing RL in AFL land but still manage to develop players going on to play in NRL. It's as much about the system as the numbers.

Don't tell people that! Only Huddersfield get poor crowds for the play offs! Biggest percentage of home support for a play off game in 2014 so let's slag Huddersfields crowds shall we?

To be fair to Hudds that figure's 2000 more than I expected personally.

It has to be a Wigan v Saints final (for the attendance as much as anything else). Cats at Old Trafford would be an utter disaster and embarrassment IMO.
