| Quote: Derwent "Hemel shouldn't be in this league for the completely opposite reason. They are currently conceding an average of 66 points per game so far this year so it's no surprise Keighley put 84 on them, just as Barrow put 82 past them recently. God knows how many Toronto will beat them by especially as the game is in Canada.'"
yet they chose to play in the league still, so will expect these results |

It's shock and awe tactics. Plus, I suppose it could be argued that there is little point in putting novice North Americans in there and then getting rid of them all next season when they won't be good enough for the Championship. Still, you would think the squad they had was already big enough and more than good enough. |

| Quote: headhunter "Not really, I doubt Toronto could claim to be on the same level as those clubs yet, although they would probably be able to outspend some SL clubs who still don't spend the full cap. But that's not the point, the point is that in less than one year they have clearly been able to surpass to a ludicrous extent clubs with 60+ years history. And you can't blame Toronto or the RFL for that.
The best answer is one where the strongest clubs are in the highest division. Which is what we had, but people didn't like it. So now we have a system where meek part time clubs are being toweled and nobody can complain about it IMO because this is what they wanted.'"
Yes really , it took those clubs 100 years to become full time proffessional ,so having a pop at Doncaster is pathetic
Toronto haven't actually played a match in Toronto yet , but you claim them to be a ' strong club '  |

| Quote: Wellsy13 "I was hoping someone would mention Keighley!
League 1 is in transition. It always will be a mix of old clubs struggling, new clubs struggling, ambitious new clubs, ambitious old clubs, sleeping giants, etc. That's what you'll get down there.
It feels like people want to complain when a new club come in for any reason they can find...
They're too rich
They're not rich enough
They're too far away
There's a club close enough
They shouldn't be in this league
They should be in that league
They've got to prove themselves
They're too good for this league
They should have to field locals
They aren't strong enough with locals.
Seriously, what do people want?!'"
What most people want is a SL consisting of big city clubs playing to packed out crowds in modern stadia , as long as their particular club is part of it , and winning it regularly in some cases
Other than that they couldn't care less how else or where else RL is played |

| Quote: Smith's Brolly "Shame on the teams being hammered. But it's the fairest way. Judging how Bradford are doing, it would be a shame if Bradford were put in League 1 and their place went to Toronto.
Cant for the life of me think why Wolfpack are wasting money on players coming to the end of their careers and are not needed.
If they go the season undefeated, isnt that far more of a turn off to a fan than games that least pretend to be competitive?'"
Paul Rowley , he likes having lots of players to choose from and loves battering opposition teams , makes his ' stats ' look really impressive |

So when do you think we might actually see a genuine real Canadian/American in the 17 ? |

Then following your reasoning these clubs are all pi55 poor excuses for RL clubs then , 20 years and they've achieved absolutely ZILCH |

It is a conundrum , or are you suggesting we have to ignore the clubs we do have , but put structures in place to suit non existent clubs that might just one day turn up ?
Toronto Wolfpack RL Club didn't exist when the current structure was decided |

They approached the RFL under franchising to enter SL. Im Suggesting they should have been given one rather than this nonsense.
a small minority of clubs are affected positively by their being promotion to SL, the few that are immediately suffer the negative effects of relegation from it thats why none of the team promoted, the club relegated, or the club surviving the million pound game are running an academy. Your premise that no P+R to SL 'forgets about the clubs we do have' is false. |
