Yeah a super league level team thrashing part-timers - a real "inspiration" to us all

Meanwhile in the real world of League 1

Last week Doncaster just shaded a hard fought 3rd vs 4th clash against Hunslet that everyone from both sides agreed was a great "proper game of rugby" (to quote our CEO).

This week 3rd vs 2nd against """"Toronto"""" .... well the quotes below from our board this week say it all so can't be bothered to add much to them - except to say I'm glad we didn't appear to put a great deal of effort into marketing this complete waste of everybody's time.


Quote: inspiration "I could not watch another moment of that bollox.
A near Super league standard club, artificial in every way, full of mercenaries, beating our lads up with the tacit approval of the three stooges .... nah!'"


Quote: inspiration "Watched the debacle on TV, totally out played by a full time highly paid and subsidised outfit destined for SL, no malice to Toronto but we and the other Championship clubs are not facing this team on an even playing field.

The way the great sport of RL has been run since the inception of Soooper Dooper League is one of the main factors why I no longer attend matches, its run by cowboys. Wave enough cash at the RFL/SKY and you can break any rule you like, Salary Cap, Overseas players....you name it.


Thought of the day, Toronto is in Canada right, so surely there are limits on the number of Non Canadian players they can have, I think there were only maybe one or two actual Candians on display today...some others may once have said aboot or had some Maple Syrup does that now qualify???

None of the Championship clubs will prosper while ever we are not expected to play on a level playing field, the french last year and now Toronto, who's next The Mexico City Bandits!!!.

It's clear that were on a level playing field then, the salary cap for Championship clubs is 50% of turnover or relevant income....how much income have Toronto got from gate money etc?

Until there is a massive shakeup in the way our sport it run I am done with RL'"


Quote: inspiration "
... That was everything bad about this current set-up in this league.

I will make the Leeds game my last ... I am finished with it.
I said I would if more of this money-club induction carried on, but didn't stick to it.

As for Donny harbouring thoughts of promotion ... get real!

Gonna walk away from this stinking game ....
While ever there is a placement club.'"

Quote: headhunter "Hemel and Skolars have been going over 20 years, Coventry nearly that long, and Newcastle is a former SL club with one of the most interesting histories in the entire sport.'"


sorry, that's a bit desperate. In RL terms, that's no history at all as far as time is concerned. And as far as a rich heritage goes nothing much to write home about either - basically just one long struggle for survival. The vast majority of UK RL fans have no interest at all in any of these teams, no memories of rivalries, nothing. So to expect Canadians to somehow be really getting into this league just doesn't ring true.

Quote: SmokeyTA "Local as in coming through the well financed, well structured academy and youth development system built to provide a pathway for youngsters from youth RL through to Pro RL.

You know that thing that that is absolutely necessary to bring through youngsters and that thing that after 139 years of existence Leigh havent got in place.'"


That thing we have had in place many times in the past as you well know , either way , an old argument done many times in the past and much discussed on this and other boards

But I'm done with this for now , you're welcome to bleat on regardless

No you haven't.

There is a big difference between setting up and investing in a pro pathway to develop youngsters and taking your pick from a strong amateur area to play in a semi pro comp.

Fair enough I'll add one last one

Glad to see you are exonerating us from not having an academy , as your post states , if we haven't been playing in a pro comp before , why should we be expected to run a ' pro pathway to develop youngsters ' , much appreciated icon_wave.gif
