Well not at all........the facts are on my side.....
The so called French expansion club now have 13 major signings that are NOT French and that makes a whole non-French first choice first team.
As the years go by they become less and less French. Casty and Albert are now out the door.
The only French players they have are squad players, making up the numbers and the fantasy that French RL is growing.
Ironically several of these French players come from Toulouse. How can Toulouse build a real French SL side if their best players are just squad bench warmers for Les Catalans? How many French lads will Toulouse show the door if they got in Superleague?
The reality is French RL has been on the slide since Les Catalans entered SL and the purpose of their entry - to underpin a competitive French International side disappeared one Thursday night in Leigh when Great Britain murdered them.
SL clubs are supposed to underpin the English TV deal and develop English players and the same was asked of Gausch - develop French players, get a French TV deal support a strong French International side. The Internationals went and now the Catalans Academy has gone.
Too easy of you to try to shoot the messenger all the time. Whether your actually French I dunno - it seems to have been regularly doubted on here for years. If you feel an urge to reply then please bookmark what I say here and refer back to it because it says it all about France being the saviour of Superleague and the international game.
A shrinking French game is not actually expanding anything but air miles
Is this YET ANOTHER made up post.
Perhaps you could answer Silent's question on the total number of French players in SL, which seems to suggest that you are wrong ?
