Same as they are for Catalans! Anyway, the days of local sides are long gone, except in the lower leagues. Oddly, Toronto train in Rochdale! Rochdale themselves were founder members (with Huddersfield, I think) but those days are also long gone and Rochdale are in Division 3 this season.
I never played league, but I like the game very much. The scrum is killing Rugby Union (that and steroids). But I still watch it, having played ar school and college. My limp never lets me forget!
