Interesting to see this on last tackle... dont' know too much about it but is there a place for the French clubs to break into the structure ? or will they get 'placed' as has happened with Dragons and Olympique ?

sorry about the picture scaling...

I have spoken to one club official (not at Dragons though) who says there will be some opposition.

What kind of opposition exactly?

'We've allus laked in winter, we allus will. We're BARLA and we dunt want that RFL sticking its nose in'.



At a guess.

what's wrong with trying to go forward ? you never know,new ideas may actually improve the structure of the game !

Shouldn't the French clubs be working with the French RL on their own set up?

Maybe... in which case then the "European Super League" becomes the property of more than just the RFL.

I would make the objective of all federations to get teams through their own system and ready to apply for a licence.

Is it still called the European Super League?
