| As it stands Toronto will have home fixtures of Hull KR, Fev, Widnes and Toulouse. What's the bets the Toulouse game will be at a neutral venue in the UK? I suspect their schedule will be: AWAY, HOME (NEUTRAL), AWAY, (all played in UK) then 3 home games (which will also allow teams to get Visa's processed etc)
Fev would have the unfortunate position of away games to Toulouse and Toronto.

| Quote Alan="Alan"This situation (with injuries) bites as the season wears on and suddenly, the club is scrabbling around for players - often on loan from SL clubs. A club can often be in that situation, just a week before travelling to Toronto, and then there will be a timing issue.'"
Last month, Barrow tapped amateur player Ben Garner for the Toronto trip on the Tuesday. He was on the plane on the Thursday. If a club is scrabbling round for players at the last minute, the first things to ask are, do you have a clean sheet and a valid passport?
Agreed, would be great if all clubs were at full strength.

| Quote Noel Cleal="Noel Cleal"Leigh. The wildcard. Could actually get results and finish higher than Toulouse if they get in the top 4. Doesn't bring the money the other 2 bring but are as good as a Widnes/HKR/Salford in that respect. Three quality teams would get the Super League club sweating.'"
So let me get this straight. You think Leigh, Widnes and Salford are on a footing with Rovers financially?
Just for a second, let’s forget about wealthy backers etc. Rovers are one of the best run clubs in the league at the moment from a financial point of view. We’ve a decent average attendance of around 7,500 (very good considering our league position this year) and are able to put big events on at Craven Park i.e the little mix gig on Friday evening were over 23,000 people attended.
So I’d be interested to hear your argument against this.

What's the source for your suspicion of the schedule?
We're expecting 2A, 2H, 1A, 2H.
The bottom six SL teams have been apparent for a few weeks now. They should have already applied for visas for any players that require longer processing time.

Far be it for me to agree with a Rovers fan, but he's absolutely right. They have a history of being well supported, even when they spent time in the lower division. They regularly outnumber certain Superleague teams in regard to attendances so to compare them to the clubs mentioned is just foolish.

I was asking Wadski about source for TWP's qualifiers schedule being away/neutral/away/3 home (which is still a game short) speculation. I've read Mascord's article and correction.

| So, if Toronto or/and Toulouse finish the Middle 8’s in a promotion position and the Super League clubs vote not to allow them membership, would the team/teams in the position/positions directly below them automatically get their SuperLeague place as they are full members?

Without knowing the structure for 2019 that's unanswerable at present.

it should be H,A,H,A,H,A,H.......but as usual, you'll be given preferential treatment.
Widnes are bolted on for visiting Toronto, so let them know now that they are first cab off the rank......the rest will all have over a fortnight to prepare and Toronto can book all their visitors travel accordingly.......except Toulouse, who they will play at a neutral UK ground as AirTransat don't fly there

| If the RFL and SL refuse TWP entry, be prepared for a costly lawsuit Mr Rimmer and Mr Elstone plus damage to the reputation of the sport in the UK.
Mr Argyle will not fck around.
