It was in response to a Wakefiled fan mocking Toronto and sarcastically saying they won't be successful. I pointed out that there are a lot of things that point to Wakefield not exactly being a modern example of success either. Not really that difficult to comprehend is it? Go have a lay down.'"
As someone who is very much in favour of expansion (I know that you havent time to read any previous posts
), one just gets hacked off at folk that begrudge Trinity their place in the top flight.
Only the arrogance of certain clubs' supporters wish to drop clubs like Wakefield from the top table and it's probably because the or the utter shame that they feel when they get turned over by such a poor, poor, excuse for a team (which includes all of this seasons top 8- apart from Hull FC and Castleford)
It must be terrible to be taken down by them
FWIW, I think Toronto have a great chance of success.
The geographical distance will be a problem, not least because of the current scheduling of games but, the potential springboard that their inclusion can give to RL in a non rugby league nation is immense but, as mentioned in a previous post, expansion and the current league structure are not compatible and if the game is serious about including the likes of Toronto or Toulouse in the top flight, there will need to be a change and reverting to a franchise or licence based system would be the most sensible option.
