It’s very worrying. If this happened to Toronto, Toulouse, West Wales Raiders or any other expansion club there would be a whole host of Leigh fans (or the same one under multiple usernames) calling for them to be kicked out of the league. Now I don’t think that should happen to Barrow but perhaps a fine for not having the full matchday 17.

Exactly, you’ve just proved my point, it’s garbage isn’t it for a team to be funded by the opposition to play a domestic game on another continent.

Would you have been happy for Toronto to have started out in Super League in year 1?

The embarrassing part is that Toronto could only put 64 points on them but on s serious note a championship team should not be turning up short of players that’s something you expect in the amateur game

How many were denied a visa? I know Dewsbury had 3 players denied the week before meaning they only had 16 players.

This is something that needs to be looked at (i know it's not the Wolfpacks fault), but its making an already hard task for these sides ni on impossible.

The answer to that would probably be a NO, last season Toronto had 23 overseas players out of a squad of 29 players an enormous unfair advantage over the rest of the championship and wouldn’t be acceptable in super league either.

When people say Toronto are paying for the costs of away sides it’s simply not true. It’s a lie.

Unless Toronto are paying for everything, including loss of wages (remember why were a separate sport?) then superleague can. Otherwise bin the fiasco off now as yet another gimmick cheapening our sport.

Toronto are paying for all away teams travel costs, obviously they are not paying for loss of wages for those semi professional players with other jobs.

Toulouse scored 70 against Rochdale if that’s more impressive

Kevsin, you seem to be very very busy now that canoeboy is having a 7 day rest.

It's would've or would have.

They’re not it’s a lie. They aren’t paying transfers at either end, food and drink or insurances.

It’s really important that they aren’t paying for lost wages of part time players in a league made up of largely part time players.

If that’s the case you can’t complain about part time clubs not fielding full sides.

Put up or shut up

Its been a problem for players using up there holiday entitlement, if I remember rightly Barrow went to Toronto on 2 occasions one was a cup or play off game, a couple of players struggled with visas and a few others couldn't get time off work.
Toronto are a bit like Wigan in the 90's can sign up a lot of good players on a full time basis, there just is no parity, its making Toronto look pretty good.

There is an album with the abbreviated title of JEEP by Stereophonics, it reminds me of you !
