It's a pointless debate anyway: Toronto will be back in the lower-leagues at the end of this year; enthusiasm will wane; any interest there is will decline and they'll cease to exist.
It's just history repeating itself. There's no reason to think that this new club will do anything other than follow the same route as Paris, Crusaders, Gateshead etc.

How has a thread on Catalan signing Folau got onto yet another pointless Toronto conversation?

Not sure why cos you do have a point, but it tickled me

Any thread that Donnyman gets involved with turns into a pointless Toronto Conversation. I could start a thread about the 1964 challenge cup final and within 2 pages Donnyman would turn into a thread about Catalans and Toronto

The 1963 challenge cup final would make a far more interesting conversation, and might take up a few pages more, just saying like.

Do you mean citing?

Yes, the grammar police are always appreciated, thanks.
I cant believe that you went back 50 years to try and validate Folau's views though

I'd be interested to know what Dally thinks of [url=https://www.sundaypost.com/sport/football/interview-that-led-to-glenn-hoddles-axing-from-england-post/Glen Hoddle's views[/url

It's "we" now is it? You need to speak for yourself, stick to the debate and not try the trick of trying to discredit me. These sites represent only a tiny minority of RL fans that includes most of those who dream of RL bursting out around the globe. Perhaps tens of thousands of RL fans along the M62 are generally more in favour of their clubs not standing down "for the good of the game" 3000 miles away?

Mr. Sadler is clear this week it is in the interests of RL as a whole that [u"Toronto are successful to the point where they create a significant market for RL in North America"[/u do you perhaps want to explain to me why he thinks this as I don't get it? It's probably my "out of date thinking" but I am happy to invite you to explain this comment to an old and confused man stuck in the past.

[uSo let's hear your thoughts on how this works??[/u

Well how many "threads" and how many replies have Jean Capdouze and yourself generated on pointless NA cheerleading?? Your hippocracy knows no bounds.

The conversation will always come around to Toronto as they are the club leading us to a Transatlantic league and alleged success in the North American market. Especially as this is all you and Jean ever post, hundreds of times over. I happen to think this would kill the game here, as do a lot of fans who agree with me and post accordingly.

What do you want Steph? censorship? After TWP were a pathetic flop against Cas this was pointed out most forcefully on Total TL.com. Massive argument and locked threads and bans all round.

There is every point to fans who want to protect the game here speaking out at every opportunity, an opportunity you would deny them, and is often denied, [ubut not on RL Fans[/u so credit to those who organise this site and allow free speech.

Did you mean: hypocrisy

1. the false profession of desirable or publicly approved qualities, beliefs, or feelings, esp. a pretense of having virtues, moral principles, or religious beliefs that one does not really possess. 2. an act or instance of hypocrisy.

Jean/Steph maybe many things, but they are not hypocrites. Duplicitous, yes.

How on Earth is there still no TV deal in place for Catalans games. After all this exposure I was sure they'd be able to sort something out. This one is on Elstone imo.

Maybe everyone has cancelled their subscriptions in protest



Seriously though, it's pretty poor form from Sky, SL and their broadcasting partners over there and those in England that had become used to watching a TV game on Saturdays are missing out.

Not great when we are hoping to negotiate a new deal soon.

My Catalan shirt with Folau on the back has just been purchased.
Should be here by the middle of next week. Cant wait

Typical Bulls fans, never did have any taste

You just beat him to it

One Dirtbag UK newspaper ran a story today that Catalan are set to nail a new french TV deal.

So it’s been revealed that Catalans are in advanced negotiations for a lucrative TV deal on the back of the Folau signing of which super league teams will get a slice.

Will be a nice little windfall for us all. Except Hull KR of course. Unless they do take the money which will make Hudgell look even more like a whopper lmao

Revealed where, by whom, how can they negotiate without the say so of SL clubs, or will they blank out opposition players?

Come on Steph, try harder.

It was you that mentioned the late Bernard Manning. I was just pointing out the error of your post.

“Talks are set to take place” is a long way from advanced negotiations.

You mention total rl a few times now, why the resentment? Were you not welcome in a previous life?

Spread over 2 days so should move things on a bit.
