I think you may need to change employment law or, at the very least change the rules on who can play for Catalan / Toulouse before you can "force" either of them to include more French born players in their respective squads. one and as a result, the game is going backwards.
The bit in the first sentence is nonsense. "Rugby league cannot change "employment law". Just get over the mistake......
Yes rule changes can stop clubs from throwing aside home grown players, and as far as guest clubs go we don't even have to have them in our leagues if they don't want to follow the way the game wants to go as regards players. The trick Catalans play is to put the French players in the high number jerseys and play them as little as possible. Toulouse will just do the same
At a time the SKY deal which is aimed at obtaining SKY subs from English fans, has been slashed it is madness to allow another French club into SL and therefore pointless to keep the existing one. Unless of course they are a value to the French game, but they are not are they, they leave the French league weaker and they fail to develop players for a stronger French International side.
Bottom line is we need the Superleague to have as many English clubs as possible to deliver the maximum value to SKY
Concentrate on that not on "Employment Law"
