Terrific Toulouse could easily retain their current outside backs and halves, but need another prop, two second rowers and a lock from NRL ranks, in order to be placed in the top 8 of Super League alongside Catalans. Not ready to compete with the bottom 4 of SL and their ground would need expanding (or maybe they would Share with Toulouse RU ??), with capacity of around 4k, it doesnt seem big enough and there is little room to add new stands etc, with the open air pool at one end and about 10ft of space behind the sticks at the other and access for traffic was awful, with small winding streets. Also, speaking to the locals, they seemed to think that Catalan are not overjoyed at the prospect of Tolouse competing with them for @local@ players etc. A great day out though and very welcoming.

JESUS WEPT  HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.  |

Lolly Laden London are the key to the finishing positions.....but trifling Toulouse will loose 6 from 7 if they scrape into the 8....losing to Fev and Batley shows how poor they actually are away from home. Remind me how Toulouse got on in London?

Don’t worry about the facts or anything will you. Fax have actually gone upwards, not downwards. London away, Toulouse and Rochdale at home, ( fax have won almost all home games at home ). Fax will finish top 4 along with Toronto. I see Fev getting pipped by Leigh and Toulouse sneaking in.
