No way, the day I hear someone from the UK describe their team as having a "5 and Oh season" I will promptly headbutt the nearest wall. Repeatedly

If it helps sell the game over there and allows them to understand the game, then, why not ?
Dont hit the wall too hard

That was my thoughts too. I'm not trying to be anti-BBC or moaning about the media but if some cycling or gymnastics had had such a potentially game changing event happen I am be certain their would be a correspondent there. Clearly we still have a long way to go as I don't think Toronto vs Oxford could be further from the M62 stereotype that we keep being told holds us back with sponsorship and TV deals.

A Super League with a Canadian side and possibly 2 French sides must surely add a few % to the TV rights?

It would boost the international game too in time.

Dream on.....

Of course it will......not

Why not give us a few examples ?

Interesting pattern there...

A 10 minute skim through their social media will give you a much greater insight than me making a list would. i suggest it. Their presence in the city and within the Canadian sports media is massive.

Unfortunately it's been a regular pattern for around a year now. Something positive posted around Toronto followed by a bunch of pitchfork wielding idiots from Leigh burning effigies of Paul Rowley.

Perhaps theres a fear, after all 6281 isnt all that different from 6692

So you don't really know do you ?

They are a completely new entity , what they can do doesn't necessarily relate to an existing club

Sorry this is the only social media I do

Thanks for calling me an idiot , and yet you don't know me , you don't know what I've achieved in life business or sport , you are obviously insightful given you can make statements based on a 7 word sentance

It's easy to say other clubs should do this , other clubs do that but every club is different , they are very well financed , I'me sure if any club suddenly found a consortium worth billions they would improve , but most likely still not be able to do what Toronto have so far managed , they are doing well , but a long way still to go

As for Paul , we never got on , I don't like him , he doesn't like me , do I care what he does ? Nope , did I ever rate him as a coach ? Nope , not from the day he ignored the school team he was coaching that included my son and several players I previously coached as they had just had 3 try's put past them by a top Wigan school in 12 minutes , he was just laughing with his mate as the 15 yr olds were falling out with each other behind the sticks , I stepped in and did his job for him

He didn't like it

I sincerely hope Toronto are a success , SL will most likely happen and they will put a few noses out of joint , not just Leigh's

I do know, thanks.

I've been following their every move since Toronto were first announced. Having family in the local area and having been fortunate enough to have visited a number of times, I have a pretty keen interest in the club and city.

As I said, their marketing is second to none. To get 6000+ people through the gates, the vast majority knowing nothing about the sport, on a cold rainy afternoon, for a third tier game against a poor side must be doing something right.

You don't need to be a twitter user to look through their twitter feed, so go have a look and see for yourself.

Then look at the way they've created partnerships. The cracking deal with AirTransat, deals with broadcasters for their games, the local Mayor's office is involved etc.

We have a Superleague with just half a dozen strong clubs and the rest making up the numbers with pitiful attendances, poor commercial performance and next to no prescence outside of their own small fanbases. Yes, there's a lot they can learn from Toronto, new club or not.

So which Airlines should Wakey get on board with ? , their eqivalent Mayors office is seemingly deliberately trying to shut them down in favour of Cas

So which broadcaster should Widnes tie in with ? , oops they can't , they like all the rest are in a deal with SkY

Sorry nothing there I'm afraid , try again , it's like comparing LA Galaxy with Fleetwood Town , why haven't Fleetwood signed Diego Costa ? , Galaxy managed to sign Beckham
