We dont agree on much sometimes, but I am 100% with you on that.
Toronto need to be self sufficient and get a marketing team to big up games in Canada. IMO they could get crowds of 15k+ in SL
Toulouse would give France the shot in the arm it needs to boost interest there and to help improve the International game.

| Quote MonkeyLover="MonkeyLover"Do you realise the Saints 'Academy' that faced London had between them played over 400 more Super League Games than the 17 Players the Broncos put out there?
Tony Smith had no issue, Richard Agar had no issue so I am at a loss to understand quite why a Hull KR fan would have an issue?
The cap is based around a 25 man squad. If the numbers 20 - 25 are not good enough to be classed as first team players then they should be removed from the cap and Saints can have that to spend elsewhere. Would that make you happier?'"
Tony Smith did have an issue. He complained about it in a recent article.
I can see why a coach would be annoyed by it but I’m very much of the view that resting so many players rarely works anyway as it disrupts a teams momentum but also its attitude.
In recent time I’m struggling to remember a time where it’s actually worked resting a large amount of players.
So I doubt we’ll see it happen very often.

Cos the OP is a hull fan masquerading as a rovers fan so when we probably capitulate we'll get all the rovers fans thought they were safe diatribe

I've not seen that article however I did hear him shoot down that awful Aussie woman who has replaced Angela Powers when asked about it. He was adamant it didn't bother him so I am surprised to hear he has now backtracked. Can you provide a link?
Seems like very sour grapes for him to suddenly change his mind.

Straight after the game on live tv he said he had no problem with saints doing what they did. Seems odd he’d change his mind later.

And what if Toulouse lose away at featherstone (very possible) and York win at Halifax?
Will York go up?

| Wow, what have I started here, it’s only an opinion forum ,the statement was a bit of fun and a little relief after the London Leeds game, mr barham red trust me I am a rovers fan of 40 years ,spegs happens to be a dear friend of mine who is a dyed in the wool fc fan of 40 years, who only text me yesterday after reading some comments on here and stating “how can people take things so seriously” I am truly sorry if it has raised folks blood pressure and as some have said leaves me wide open for a slice of humble pie, but believe me I will be the first to come back to this thread at 21.30 Friday to take the medicine, I have duly apologised to Antwerp red as I thought by the time we played Salford on the final day we would be 4pts clear of bottom and Salford would be 4pts of top 5 ,this was posted days before we crashed to wakey and Salford cruised it at Hull lol, so people chill out ,enjoy life , it really is not worth getting mass hysteria over a game.

Its the world we live in. We are now brought up to 'complain,' the snowflake would say 'raise' anything we don't like, plus the internet has given the fat tw4t in the back bedroom a voice which they didn't have before.

You answer your own question. It's an opinion forum not a wind up forum.
If you post something that isn't serious to you but is serious to other people, I reckon you can expect a response like the one you have got.
Next weeks games are huge for a number of clubs.
