In RL circles, we may have though that Hayne going to the NFL was a huge story but, within their sport, it was a nothing story and just remind us how long he lasted and what he is doing now.
As for Toronto, in a city with established mainstream sports, RL is just a speck of dust.
Having said that, the people over there have done a great job to promote an "alien" sport to so many new people but, it does look like a rich mans play thing, rather than a serious move to take our game to the masses. All that we can do is to try and enjoy it while it lasts.
7000 mile round trips for the weekly (well, fortnightly) rounds, is just madness - so much for climate change ![]()
You didn't watch the NFL games that Hayne played in, nor the San Francisco 49ers fan programs, which were available on the internet. I did. I watched all of those that I could get access to. Hayne was a prominent subject of discussion among NFL commentators and pundits during the preseason and then the early games.
Rugby league is no speck of dust in Toronto when the Wolfpack can attract around 9,000 Canadian fans to a home game in the Championship. Those numbers compare well with attendances for other longer established sports in Toronto. Those Wolfpack attendances should rise even higher once the team starts playing in Super League, and at some point the club will probably need to find a bigger stadium to play in.
As for climate change, I hardly think that rugby league fans are making any significant contribution to carbon gas emissions.

Oh and by the way, it had nothing to do with mental health, it was Adams first day as president.

| Quote: JackDiggle "The development at Toronto appears to be working well if you agree with this type of overseas expansion. It appears to be achieving its goals.
Surely the same techniques, methods and determination can get the same results in London, Newcastle and Coventry (as suggestions).
The RFL should be forensically analysing and comparing TW with London Broncos where huge amounts have been spent over the years.'"
Fair point. |

As I stated, it was from Adams first day as president as Jim Mills and Bobbie Goulding commented on. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. The article you linked was the 7th August
