Can't see why the RL would want Toulouse.
He's just goading people suggesting Toulouse are a shoe in. As you can see he/she makes no actual case for Toulouse.
In fact if the game wants away fans on the terraces who also follow the game on SKY by buying SKY subs then an alleged 2,000 French fans in Toulouse will do neither.
Championship club fans returning from Toulouse have at time casted doubts on the actual TO crowds, their last published crowd being only1,068. It's possible to love French Rugby League and at the same time not support their inclusion in the game here. Catalans of course were admitted to the game here to underpin a competitive French International side, an experiment they were allowed 14 years to come good with. Instead the opposite happened and we have stopped internationals with France.
The question isn't Toulouse for SL2022, the question is will Les Catalans be included? It may be noted Gausch rarely attends Superleague meetings, the chairmen not being fans of his, and at the start of this season he aligned himself and his club with Toronto Wolfpack by simply signing a big marquee player as some sort of "contribution" to the player pool.
