Because I believe that Catalans will be much, much too strong for a 3rd division club, especially with the arrival of Joshua Drinkwater. |

You should be a detective.
The reality is, calamitous Catalans would be heading out of the cup had they draw a top flight side . |

They may be drawn at home next round. |

Well, I could see a SL team protesting vigorously, if they had to trek over to Toronto in the thick of the SL season. For example, Warrington are at Wigan, the weekend after this CC round. They probably wouldn't have been thrilled to spend the weekend before, in Canada, and then heading home when they should be preparing for their visit to the DW.
Oh, and one other thing - Toronto's ground/pitch improvements are only scheduled to be completed at the end of June!  |

Toronto had to agree to play all cup games away for (IIRC) the first three years. I believe this is likely more to do with non SL clubs and their ability to fund trips to Canada at short notice than any inconvenience of a short turnaround. With Toronto starting in League 1 they were always going to come up against semi pro and amateur teams in the early rounds due to the format of the cup. The likes of Siddal, the first team to play Toronto in the cup, for example could not be expected to travel to Canada to play a cup match. Add to that the difficulty of semi pro or amateur players getting the time off work at short notice for such a trip. For the time being it makes sense to make them play cup games over here.
Should they become established in SL by the end of that 3 year period then I would hope that they will be allowed to play at home in the cup, though they may still have to concede home advantage if drawn against part time opponents.

Jean, why do you persist with your pathetic denigration of teams you hold in contempt just because they don’t fit your dream scenario.
You really are the saddest person I have come across on social media and there must be a prize for your accurate impression of an harris hole.
The mods won’t bin you so it is up to the other members to do it individually.
I will block you after you have sufficient time to read it in all your identities and time zones. |

Sunday afternoon is prime time for rugby league on the bbc. They have obviously decided the Toronto game is the tie of the round.

The BBC have decided to put on Wolves v Wolves on the final day of the Premier League season and the pseudo frenchman thinks this shows that they believe it will attract a bigger audience than Castleford v Saints on the Saturday with very little other sports available......
