ABT will do me.....ANYBODY BUT TORONTO !

Obsessed

They just won the Challenge Cup. When did, Wakefield, Castleford, Widnes, Salford, Huddersfield, Hull kr, Leigh or London last achieve that?

HA HA HA. Only while traitor/Mr Morals Rowley is there, hope they lose everytime they play. Hopefully again next Saturday, you fake Leeds Rhinos .....

Catalans just won the Challenge Cup, beating Warrington and St Helens (easily) along the way.

Catalans would have beaten St Helens again last weekend had it not been for a forward pass ignoring incompetent referee.

Catalans has a core base of nearly 8000 fans. In Super League only Leeds, Wigan, St Helens, Warrington and Hull FC have a bigger core fan base.

Wake up and smell the coffee!

... Superleague club.... Your words not mine. They are a 42% win club... Lower mid table side at best and mid table attendance wise....

IF my Auntie had (rugby) balls, she would be my uncle.



What does 'wake up and smell the coffee' actually mean ?
I know you are French



, but please explain further.
Also can you explain why Catalans supporters do not like visiting England ? Even rubbish/lowly/scum Leigh Centurions took over 500 fans to Catalans, on each of their 3 visits. The 1st game, we took a 1000 fans.

As I have shown, to the other collective troll I was addressing a while back whilst discussing the claim about a top SL team and nothing to do with the Challenge Cup....., Catalans have won only 42% of their regular season SL games since the end of licensing. 42% of games would deliver 22.68 points, or 6th spot this year, 7th last, 5th in 2016 and 6th again in 2015...they are a mid table outfit, not once finishing in the top 4 spots, which defines a top SL team. Tey did finish 4th once, some 7 seasons ago, but since then they have dropped to the ignominy of having to win the MPG just to survive less than 12 months ago......they are mid table at best

Another tin pot club that's going to the dogs supporter in denial again.....

As well as being pseudo expansionist yet anti-TWP and now Les Catalans type, I really wonder why you are so hostile yet your own tin pot nomadic club has failed to establish itself after 34 years???

Bless.
I am neither pseudo expansionist, not pseudo-anti-expansionist. I like things like and others I don't.....as for London being "tin-pot"....lol.....try harder son, try harder

Jesus, don't set the bar too high, will you?

Genuine question here. Back in the day when you were gutterfax and shep were a pup, a lot of people on here, including yourself, used to harp on about the 250,000 kids playing rugby league in london on a weekly basis. How come nothing was built on this foundation? Did the kids just get bored? Schools stop playing the game? No amateur clubs set up?

Genuine question - why are you still here?

Genuine question here. Back in the day, what name did you go by on these boards to know what Gutterfax was saying?

Note to Moderators. 3 posters (e Bron, Sir Kev and Joff) in particular seem intent on calling me out collectively by claiming to know who I am and harping on about bans etc....if this isn't proof that these goons are in cahoots then I really am at a loss as to what constitutes trolling anymore.

They did make it to the play offs semi final one year. I do think if Catalan wouldn't have lost Trent Robinson then they would have quite possibly won a grand final by now. He was on his way to building something real special.

London made 2 play offs and finished 2nd in the league as well as making a Challenge Cup final........if Ian Lenegan had been permitted to bankroll them instead of handing the club to a guy who can't tie his own laces (but can afford to pay someone to do it for him), we'd still be in SL.....and if my auntie had ball she'd be my uncle, the reality is that Catalan are currently (since the ed of licencing) a 6th place 42% win team, not a "top SL side" as claimed by the troll collective

Challenge Cup winners Catalan are a top Super League side. They had no half backs and had a dreadful start to the year, hence the skewed percentage figure you keep referring to.

You're a Leeds Rhinos Season Ticket holder.....my @rse !

Nah....29 wins from 69 games 2015-17 delivers a 42% ratio........this year they were 43%

Any thoughts on symmetry below?






Nobody else seems as preoccupied with my identity as you 4......or is it just a coincidence?

He may well be.......and Jean is French, Le Bron is a Scouser and Joff isn't a troll either

I personally think if Toronto , Toulouse or London finish in a position to get into Superleague then it will be on merit and they deserve their place...if i am being selfish i would like Toulouse to stay down for one more season then my daughter and myself can visit them in 2019 .

It looks like one will replace Widnes ..Good luck to them all in the remaining games

As the creator this thread I have no interest in derailing it. On the contrary I am interested in other people's answers to the original question, answers which may of course change as the Middle 8s competition progresses.



Thanks for bringing the thread back on topic.

Toulouse are the team I’d like to see promoted. I think it would be a really good thing for a country with a player pool already there, that isn’t that far away, that would bring a French derby to SL, to get promotion.

I agree and having teams in France is bringing good French players to Superleague and more so the Championship , as said i am being selfish because i was on holiday this year when we played Toulouse.

We dont know the league structure yet so more than one could go up anyway ...
