Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "All the England players play in Super League. They were evenly matched by PNG, the majority of who play in the Queensland Cup or PNG league. There are plenty of potential Super League players on show there our clubs should be looking to recruit.'"
I think playing in PNG has an effect if it was played over here it would have been a bigger score I think but it’s nice to see a bit of a resurgence in the PNG national team
Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "Game 2
PNG 32 - 22 England Knights
An all Super League England Knights squad have been defeated by a PNG squad made up largely of PNG based Queensland Cup players. This is a terrific result for PNG Rugby League.
PNG is a gold mine of Rugby League talent, there are so many potential Super League players, many on show today, our clubs would be foolish not to snap them up.'"
I’m sorry for a supposed English fan you seem to take delight in the loss. The fact liam sutcliffe is anywhere near an international side is a joke. Even more of a joke he got called up against France for the first team. The lads played a very good team in a hostile environment. The Queensland cup is a fantastic competition and I would say is higher standard than champ and lower end SL.
Anyway the lads seem to have have a great experience and it’s brilliant the concept has allowed this tour
Quote: Ruune Rebellion "So a team of full time professionals lost to a team of amateurs? Rugby league is dead in this country. Thank god for England v RSA. What a great game'"

£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

Having watched a fair bit of NSW cup action over the last 9 seasons I can attest that NSW 2nd tier Rugby is better than Queensland Rugby with the last 3 Interstate finals being hammerings for the QLND sides. NSW 2nd tier RL is as good as the top of the Championship, but any NSW/QLND 2nd tier side playing SL over 27 rounds would finish dead set last.
However......in this matter
