They may well do that, nothings confirmed for Toronto yet and the big clubs here are interested, so this is the usual empty boasting stuff, most of us get fed up with, plus the game needs to be competitive, Toronto are set to have a long hard season with a thin squad. Still, they could start preparing for a possible game now by announcing the crowd as a sell out, and teasing us as to whether SBW will play or not. This will bring thousands of "eyeballs" to our game.  |

Would be a great coup for Toronto, if it comes off but, if they end up as a lower end SL club, it wont be much of a test for the Aussies.
Plus, they would be adding a whole load of extra travel to what is likely to be a tight itinerary.

Might as well let Hunslet play Australia, if Toronto are doing so.

To be fair it’s Toronto who are generating the column inches over here too. |

Pity they don't generate TV deals.
Pity they don't generate players.
Why is it "fair" they are in Superleague when all they generate is a massive debt
You'll go to any extreme to justify this fake club  |

Very shortsighted, harnessed propertly Toronto could be a great benefit to the game. Just the kind of shot in the arm the sport needs. Helping to dispel the flatcap image and bring more attention and fans to the game.
Also if it takes off over there we open up a new market of millions of potential players, refs, fans etc. They havent been parachuted in either, won promotion fair and square from both League 1 and the Championship.

Are you serious here, or just making stuff up for fun?
Promotion was fair and square? I thought they spent a fortune on players in both League 1 and the Championship. That was hardly "fair" or "square" was it? We are in the fourth season now and there aren't any Canadian players or Refs. No sign of any?? No TV deal either. Millions of fans?? You are making stuff up here, are you Bob Hunter
I'd give you the benefit of the doubt all day long here, if perhaps you would accept they need to come up with TV deals, fans, ref's etc before they take a place in Superleague?
So what's your vision for them? How would you "Harness them properly"?? |

Not making owt up. They are self financed, complied with the rules and worked their way up from L1....
Things take time to develop for the fans, refs etc. Cant just demand they suddenly be producing crops of players after 4 years. They increase our exposure to sponsorship and general visibility. SBW is a global superstar and they have brought him into RL. No othe SL club could have done that - its great for the profile of the sport. Not to mention they arent taking their Sky money so all other clubs get another 100kish
I think having them in the top tier is better for the game and will allow them to develop quicker. |

No such thing as "their" Sky money, they are on the deal as agreed, so far all TWP have done is moan and want preferential treatment. |
