JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

At least he didn't say that phrase "for the good of the game".

Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "Another great result for Toulouse, London and Toronto. It would be brilliant if all 3 gained promotion.'"


Unless there is a rule change to accommodate all 3, they wont all gain promotion.
Do you think they are stronger than Catalan, Salford, KR, Huddersfield d040.gif d040.gif

Unless one of the current SL clubs implode, which could happen, there may be no change come the end of the season.
Salford look a little vulnerable right now and KR aren't quite up to speed but, Huddersfield and Catalan will be ok.

I do like the look of a Toulouse v Catalan MPG, that would be a belter k020.gif

Quote: home "How would it be brilliant? Toulouse play on a pitch with a shed to one side that holds 4k but gets 1k, London play at a wedding venue with fewer than 900 guests and Toronto.......god knows where they'll be playing their "home" games next year, let alone their beer festivals?
None of them bring anything in terms of "extra value" through additional TV revenues, sponsorship or even media interest, only London run a youth set up and them replacing HKR, Catalans and Salford would trip 10-15% of the SL average attendance figures, thus further devaluing our fiscal value to potential partners.'"


CMG you turncoat, you clearly still harbour some bitterness towards the Broncos because they turned you down for the marketing job. Move on icon_wink.gif 500 yesterday when we mauled the Benign Bulldogs icon_smile.gif

I suspect Jean we could write something not to dissimilar about you. Replace Wellington with Chorley.

Your suspicions are unfounded and your analogy does not exist. Try to think more clearly. I am sure you can do it if you try.

Here is part of the reason why everyone is excited about the prospects of Toulouse. From the state of the art stadium at Dewsbury, in west Yorkshire:

Toulouse well positioned to consolidate their top four place by having a week off next week while everyone else plays in the Challenge Cup. I hope their application to be allowed to field 15 players every match also comes off. Good luck to them.

Do you think they are stronger than Catalan, Salford, KR, Huddersfield The number of clubs in Super League 2019 is yet to be confirmed. If it’s 14, there is a chance Toronto, London and Toulouse could all gain promotion.

Indeed.....and that would be more accurate then the fictional application for jobs. AFAIK, Gutters never applied for any jobs at the club and was actually only ever on the case of a certain CEO who reduced the club to rubble in his 1,140 day tenure.....I believe that there has only been 1 person with the word marketing in their job title at the club since 2006 and SHE lasted a year.....although he's right about David Hughes, a man who openly admits i the Book A pastel Revolution, that he hasn't a clue how to look after the day to day running of a club.......I mean to say, re-read the bit about the 1 year we had a marketing person in the last 12.

Anywhoooooo, back on thread.
Toulouse have 10 points, the same amount they had from the same games last season with HKR replaced by Leigh.....they are full deserving of 2nd spot and will probably make the 4, but I doubt they'll get more than 1 home win v championship opposition in the qualifiers.
With no trip to Canada and no Challenge Cup games to worry about they have certainly been dealt a favourable hand icon_mrgreen.gif

And if Leigh manage to get their season back on track and Fax build on their performance yesterday, then there's a chance that Fev, Leigh and Fax could all gain promotion. Your point is, well, pointless.

Yes the teams in 3rd, 6th and 9th are really likely to all gain promotion.

...as likely as London, Toronto and Toulouse all going up!

Of the 3 I can see Toronto splashing the cash in Australia once the bottom 4 or 5 teams in the NRL have started their 'clear-outs" preparing for 2019....neither London of the white flag waving surrender monkeys have the cash. Any of the players mentioned in dispatches for the NYC bid would be prime targets...as would Money Bill Williams who apparently is no longer wanted by the AB's....his super rugby season is over in early August (if not sooner) and he'd love the chance to be the of attention at Toronto for a few weeks.....SBW, Hayne.....then Toronto would be able to compete, but currently they look average at best.

The next 3 games will all be major tests for the French.....anything less than 4 points and they'll finish 3rd at best....3 home games, 4 away and 2019 Championship beckons.
