I mean, what a...
Andrew VossHOST
And they hold the likes of Toulouse over a barrel and Catalans.
Andrew VossHOST
I mean, it's a bit of a huge show, to be honest, what we're getting into.
Andrew VossHOST
But, yes, I think we're closer now.

Lee AddisonHOST
I think this has to be... a huge reason why France are so poor, because they've got two teams in Super League, so in theory they should be getting better.
Lee AddisonHOST
However, because of the overseas quotas, and it's not necessarily incumbent on Catalan and Toulouse to develop the French game beyond their needs, and that's another issue, They're obviously getting as many overseas recruits as they can to stay competitive in Super League.
Lee AddisonHOST
And we're really seeing this sharply, I think, with the French side because they've regressed from the last World Cup.
Lee AddisonHOST
And I would almost say this is their worst ever World Cup performance so far.
John DavidsonHOST
New Zealand have probably got... close to that you know and I think it's the quality it's not just the number it's also the quality of the competition they're playing so France apart from Seawald I think from South Sydney France have got no heritage or they've got no NRL players and then you know you look at how small the game is in France in terms of participation so This, for me, comes back to how the French clubs are also treated in the Super League.
John DavidsonHOST
You know, they've got to pay travel costs.
John DavidsonHOST
Toulouse have got half funding.
John DavidsonHOST
So that's money that they could be spending on development, on pathways.
VolstagPANELIST
I thought France had to give a far better account of themselves.
VolstagPANELIST
Maybe I've been duped into it by the performances, by the likes of Toulouse in the Super League, who've been phenomenal.
VolstagPANELIST
And they've had so many... young French players playing Catalan.
VolstagPANELIST
They've had some, you know, good performances in stages.
VolstagPANELIST
Is it just that bit too much for them at the moment? They're still on a learning curve, shall we say.
CraigHOST
Yeah, I'd have to agree.
CraigHOST
And when we look at what, like you said, Sylvain Houlaz has done at Toulouse, certainly with a lot of French players.
CraigHOST
And you've got to wonder if he can make them stand up and perform.
DaveHOST
Right, boys, as we have been doing all the way through the off-season, it's time now to take a look at those teams who finished 8th and 7th in Super League last year.
DaveHOST
And we're going to start, of course, with Toulouse Olympique, who finished in 8th.
DaveHOST
The highest attendance of the season, round 26, 7,360 for the Hull FC.
DaveHOST
Again, well done to the FC fans who went over in their droves to really drive that attendance.
DaveHOST
60 points to 18.
DaveHOST
Oh, yes, get that into you, boys.
DaveHOST
A beautiful win for Toulouse Olympique in Round 17.
DaveHOST
Their loss of the season at home in Round 8, 46-0.

PedroHOST
Yeah, that's bad.
PedroHOST
Then you've got two super league clubs, Toulouse, and Catalan, right? Two clubs in a big competition, a Super League, like it's just not enough.
PedroHOST
There's no pathway.
PedroHOST
There's no development.
Matt SimsHOST
Cass, is he? Got a Cass? Oh,
Paul WhitesideHOST
no, Toulouse.
Paul WhitesideHOST
Did he go to Toulouse?
Matt SimsHOST
Well, he was at Cass, wasn't he? Trying to think.
Matt SimsHOST
I can see the image of him getting it with that elbow by...
Matt SimsHOST

at
Matt SimsHOST
Toulouse last season on loan.
CraigHOST
Certainly if you want to get Scotland, Wales and stuff, but we need more competitive games.
CraigHOST
The best thing that can possibly happen now is Toulouse staying in the Super League and having two French teams and getting a France team from Super League quality.
CraigHOST
And obviously, you know, Toulouse and Catalan's doing better in the Super League with more homegrown French players.
CraigHOST
Then we've got actual competition that we can sharpen our skills for and we've got that bit more of intensity.
CraigHOST
France will turn up at the weekend against England.
