Then he should gather up his toys and f**k off and play elsewhere, freeing up £1,800,000 of perpetually wasted central funding that is spent each year on survival rather than growth!

The reality is that whether Toronto are good for the game or not, they are at least giving it a go and apparently doing it with a smile on their faces......meanwhile we are inundated with threads bemoaning expansion, generally started by fans of tin pot pit village clubs, teetering on the financial brink and watched by an ageing and shrinking fan base.

Carter can use that spare 750k he’s got burning a hole in his pocket.

then let the french teams organize their own league, if they can find enough quality teams

They have their own leagues...
..oh the Irony. English RL can't even support 12 top flight sides with the likes of Widnes and Salford on the edge of the cliff and potentially being replaced by a French and Canadian side......and you reckon the french have an issue with quality players, when sides in the UK are rammed with average Aussies?

The attitude of the NIMBY brigade in RL is it's biggest threat. Adverse to change, unwilling to travel and distrusting of johnny foreigner.....Sir Oswald would be so proud

Unfair ' having a pop at lower teams fans who haven't even posted on this thread , doesn't help the cause Gutters

The majority of threads on the front page of the VT are those started by fans of Wakey or Leigh or other smaller clubs bemoaning expansion, be that because of the red herring that is away fans not traveling or travelling to Toronto being an expense. Leigh look like they have gone boom or bust, wakefield are living hand to moth, Salford and Widnes are on the brink and I'm the bad guy?

I don't trust Toronto, but the arguments being used to "dis' them just hold no water, but what fans of clubs lie wakey will never admit is that without their annual £1,800,000 hand out, they'd be dead an buried and that's why they are scared of Toronto, not because they'd miss out on £10 of away fan ticket revenue

my remarks were aimed at the "The English based teams have it pretty damn nice compared to what the French clubs have to pay."comment, if they want to play then they have to pay

I find it better to reply to the post , not necessarily the poster , and certainly not to others who haven't even posted , as I said , it doesn't help the cause

Nobody is disputing that the French clubs should not have to pay. What will be disputed is seeing any english club moan about travel costs to Toronto. Not when the French clubs just get on with things and pay a hell lot more.

Any club who cannot afford a single trip to Toronto shouldn't be in super league quite frankly.

Are we gonna see Salford get the buckets out next season asking for fans to fund the trip for the players and staff??

This!

Clubs seem to have no issues getting to Perpignan each year. Just another poop stirring thread from a bitter fan who hates the thought of 'his game' expanding....yawn
Jealousy keeps you imprisoned sunshine. Let it go.

As other posters have said. It really shouldn't be an issue with regards SL.

However, if Toronto aren't promoted, and stay in the championship. Then it does become an issue.
