Obviously you do....

You watched the Broncos at the Stoop? 2012 & 2013 saw that side win 6 Home SL games over the 2 seasons. As a self proclaimed CONNOISSEUR of Rugby League I am surprised you'd have bothered trecking out to Twickenham....unless of course you were working as a pot-man at the Cabbage Patch?
As for your claim to having been mistaken for a player, I sincerely doubt it, given that most of the handful of fans in attendance were all on first name terms with the playing staff......

Despite all the money in the game in Australia, the sport is arguably diminishing, largely down to the arrogance of its administrators and so called fans, and the lack of coverage of a home world cup is even more evidence of how deluded they are'"
depressingly I have just figured out that the 9 games so far in Australia (including 2 double headers) are averaging 8k a game.... they really don't give a toss and they should never host another one. We can only hope that Perez et al manage to create a North American league and we can leave the 'stralians to their own devices.
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.
