Toronto are paying for all away teams travel costs, obviously they are not paying for loss of wages for those semi professional players with other jobs. |

Toulouse scored 70 against Rochdale if that’s more impressive |

They’re not it’s a lie. They aren’t paying transfers at either end, food and drink or insurances.
It’s really important that they aren’t paying for lost wages of part time players in a league made up of largely part time players.
If that’s the case you can’t complain about part time clubs not fielding full sides.
Put up or shut up |

Its been a problem for players using up there holiday entitlement, if I remember rightly Barrow went to Toronto on 2 occasions one was a cup or play off game, a couple of players struggled with visas and a few others couldn't get time off work.
Toronto are a bit like Wigan in the 90's can sign up a lot of good players on a full time basis, there just is no parity, its making Toronto look pretty good. |

There is an album with the abbreviated title of JEEP by Stereophonics, it reminds me of you ! |

The poster on question is a relentless tool, who cares what it says or thinks. |

| Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "Barrow showed up to their fixture with only 14 players, meaning they only had 1 substitute. This is the sort of thing that happens at U12’s, not a Championship fixture. It’s not even a one off, the Raiders only had 15 fit players available for last Sunday's game at Featherstone Rovers, with former player Chris Fleming coming out of retirement and Barrow Island amateur Ben Garner joining to boost the team.
What an embarrassment, yet some people repeatedly claim we should have a Super League club up there.'"
Presumably Manchester City are also a laughing stock as they have, on one occasion, failed to name a full complement of substitutes? |

Rugby League is a 17 man game (occasionally McDermott only uses 16 but is heavily criticised by Leeds fans) to only start the game with 15 is shocking. There is no comparison with football substitutes.

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |

Got to agree the comparison with football is ridiculous I think you can name something like 8 subs but only use half that so Barrow taking 14 players is like something out of Sunday league pub sides game |

It sounds like a bit of a minefield with getting Visa's at short notice into Canada. It'll be a bit more embarrassing for the sport if one of the current SL teams turn up to play TW without a full 17 in the M8's.
