Not true. We only call union trolls union trolls.
But saying the pro league won't happen unless they get a big TV deal is the "no sh:t" statement of the decade. The whole point is that they are trying to get such a deal. Whether they will or won't nobody knows yet and anyone who makes outlandish statements either way is a fool. Not necessarily a union troll though. |

Whilst the preoccupation with the size of TV deals is on the table, where will the players come from if the NRL gets cashed up next month.....will the French be able to compete with SL for players? Will the TV deal be for a local comp with local players? There already 4 clubs struggling to make ends meet in France.....how much will this mega-bux TV deal be for? |

Maybe we need to promote rugby league to some French Billionaires that might be interested in funding a league, sort of like the Formula 1 rival A1 GP...but run much better...(please don't take this statement too seriously).
I'd hope to God that French clubs wouldn't be competing for our English players, there's hardly enough to create a competitive Super League at the moment.

sticks and stones mate - water off a ducks back
i've been following both Saints and Wasps since the mid sixties along with Essex CCC and THFC even earlier
the basic premise of a Pro french league sounds good but the volume of fans required to make the idea anywhere near viable or realistic will never happen - you can't make the french public in Nantes or Lyon or even Paris etc turn out for something they don't want and no tv company is going to bankroll a league with no interest from Joe Public
The FFR13 s latest idea is to take the France v Wales autumn international to Lens in the far north FFS !!! about as far from any RL heartland as you can get !
completely bonkers ! |

| Probably eventually 
Basically French clubs are looking at a proper, stronger domestic league from 2014, with more clubs added to those in the south, some of them being new teams from existing football clubs. It looks like they want spread it across France and the guy pushing it, from RC Lens, is a big fan of RL |

Your an amazing linguist, you managed to distill a half page article into 2-3 lines, lol. |

Mods might want to merge this with the last 'french league' thread.

Basically they're looking to make a league out of franchises selected from existing clubs plus 4 clubs linked with northern French soccer clubs in the top 2 leagues (out of Lens, Nantes, Valenciennes, Strasbourg, Paris or PSG). They'll choose between existing clubs and maybe Albi and Lyon. Albi and Realmont may be entering a joint team in this year's Elite. They'd like Lyon and Montpellier to be linked with soccer.
