In my opinion

NO

what does Leighs inclusion in the NLs do for the other NL clubs?

This is the Toulouse board

If you are ' bored ' ask the question on the Leigh board

just trying to get an idea of the context of your question,

what do Leigh add to NL1 that Toulouse wont?

what does any club add to NL1?

NO, it harms both NL1 and the French Elite's credibility and benefits noone but Toulouse and may not even benefit them if the excess travelling ruins them

Once again Bowes you seem to have hit the nail right on the head

so im guessing this is what the Toulouse board is being used for, making the fans of NL1 clubs judged not good enough feel better about themselves by putting down toulouse and doing their 'arent we hard done to wheres our Daddy Warbucks' little orphan annie impression

In as far as helping the answer is NO.

but saying that how do any of the other clubs promoted from NL2 help us?

It's something different and will be a nice couple of days away for the hardened NL1 fans.

In my opinion

YES (possibly)

it's not like it's being used for owt else!

and isnt that a sad indictment on the rugby league fraternity

Shock Horror



Fans discussing Toulouse on Toulouse Message Board

Whatever next

Oops

We heard you the first time.

fraternity!?

getting fast-tracked straight into NL1,
exempt from relegation,
as many aussies as you like,

and you're talking to me about fraternity!?

O/T but every time I see your avatar I imiediatley see an ostrich running towards me

getting fastracked in to NL1, they have been around since 1937 for f@cks sake, if thats fast tracking now wonder the game isnt spreading, 70+ year old clubs are looked on as the new boys


yeah because being in NL2 would be very beneficial for both Toulouse and the NL2 clubs, of course they are exempt from relegation, you would have to have serious learning difficulties not to understand why



no, that would be 5, exactly the same number Salford had this year



not really, i just used it as a word to describe the RL community, none of the things above are relevant to 'fraternity'

discuss Toulouse then, their squad, the way they play, their coaching, how they are marketing the game, anything, anything actually about Toulouse,

not another bitchfest about the RFLs decision to put them in so you can feel better about how leigh are,

T'other thread

This one is the bitchfest thread

If you dont like it , ignore it

So they have had 70 years to make something of themselves and they havent , time somebody else got a chance



Correct Toulouse being in NL 2 would not help any current NL 2 clubs [ exactly as it will not help any NL 1 clubs either but it would still benifit Toulouse , Obviously being excempt from relegation will be benificial to Toulouse because hopefully that is where they will finish [ in a relegation place





Correct , same as Salford and 6 behind Celtic , but still more than most other clubs



What community ?

other than winning cups and leagues and such, im not sure what else they could make of themselves





whether it does or it doesnt, for £100k you would expect these clubs and their fans could behave with a bit of grace




if your going to bang on about how much Leigh offers in terms of youth development, you really have no place to moan when they are expected to use it



the people who are stakeholders in RL

Nope





" Here little boy , have these sweeties but dont say nothing to your Mummy and Daddy "





We dont have any , ask Richard in the morning




So that would be the SL clubs , the amatuer clubs , the internatinal federations and thier teams ,

oh and those little useless clubs from backwater pit towns , we musn't forget about them

erm, ok i guess,

i'm sorry, i was under the impression that toulouse were permitted as many aussies as they liked. if this isn't the case then i apologise, but they're still allowed more than most of the other NL1 teams

why is it relevant that they've been around for 70 years? they've joined a new league hierarchy for the first time and have skipped NL2. you can dress it up how you like but it's still fast tracking.

how can a club be helpful to NL1 clubs but not NL2 clubs?



pick your petty insults better next time please. you might end up really offending someone.

prick.

they have joined in NL1, there was no way for them to qualify from NL1, what use would it have been to them and NL2 clubs to make them play in NL2 for a year?

and NL1 clubs and NL2 clubs are very different things
