We'll jean was out the other night in a restaurant with the owner and having dinner and a couple of bottles of wine and he said Jean please tell every one I have no ambitions for this year we are just taking part

I was sat at the next table in McD's and that's what the guy said

Whats really embarrassing for Super League is the crowd that the TWP got, which was higher than either the Warrington v Castleford clash and the Wigan v Salford clash. I reall can't see how Super League can turn them down if they win the Championship Grand Final https://www.rugby-league.com/championsh ... r-toulouse https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/ ... tch-report https://www.salfordreddevils.net/match- ... september/

Depends how it's decided. It's a racing cert that a few chairmen would prefer to see a weaker side promoted, ideally even weaker than London proved to be this year.

the side promoted should be exempt from relegation the following year for them to get up to speed, they did it with catalan

It will be a farce if they are not allowed promotion.

No central funding is a joke in itself.

Jean's only ambition is how does he move out of Leigh where he was born and bred and how does he get rid of the "League Freak" thing - MPD but be a real challenge.

Wakefield didn’t receive any central funding when they were promoted to super league after beating Featherstone in the playoffs. It was only the generous gesture by the other super league clubs at that time, which allowed Trinity to compete. So nothing new re Toronto, although it shows our sport in a poor light.

Toronto are on fire at the moment and I hope they are promoted they deserve it.

I have spoken to a few players who have all said the same that they're blowing out their after 25 minutes and cant compete, at the moment they look a different team than last year and it will take a big effort from anyone to win there and Toronto would need to have an off day.

Would be interesting to see how much the logistics of it all changes when SL clubs have to go there and how many teams do go on and win there.

they should be on fire as they have one of the top coaches in charge as well as nobby, most of all the super league rejects which could still linger in super league amongst most teams of championship players that are playing there for a reason as they are just not good enough in super league, deserve it maybe, buying them selves into super league yes they are

Should be interesting if you play at home on a Sunday and the play away @ Toronto on a Thursday night. But I suppose the times of Toronto matches being shown live on Sky is another issue.

Actually it was the generous gesture of the (then) Northern Ford Premiership clubs who gave up some of their funding to subsidise Wakefield after the SL clubs denied them a share of the SL pot. Wakefield paid back that generosity by voting in favour of scrapping promotion at the first opportunity.
