Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021!

Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022!

Specifically, do you mind if Toulouse, Toronto,and Montreal join Super League under promotion and relegation, which means at the expense of a traditional heartland club?

I would prefer licensing to be reinstated, with non-English clubs and London Broncos, if they can make it to the tier of top 4 clubs in the Championship, and have a solid business plan, be added to the existing roster of Super League clubs.

However if we retain promotion and relegation, I would want that the new non-English clubs be appointed to Super League, as add-ons to the existing roster, and given at least five years exemption from relegation.

Nevertheless if Toulouse, Toronto, Montreal and London can make it under the existing rules of promotion and relegation, then it will be a brilliant achievement.

The three options are spelled out in the poll.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

Not cost effective and damaging to English player participation.

A Pie is for life, not just a Wembley Final

simple answer, if they're good enough they will make it. If not they won't, this isn't the cash rich NRL whereby teams from far afield can be parachuted in and supported by the governing body. Most Fans and Owners put their own clubs above anything else so hardly going to see turkeys voting for xmas

Good topic Jeanette - I think all three would be an improvement on Catalans.

I didn't pick Montreal at random. I was basing it on the comments of Eric Perez -- the power behind Toronto -- who has stated that Montreal will follow Toronto at some point in the future. Perez is the sports business whiz who could well revolutionise rugby league in the northern hemisphere.

I am shocked at the poll results so far. As of now 32% of voters don't want Toulouse, Toronto and Montreal in Super League at all.

It is a minority but it is a disturbing "Little Englander" minority.
