7000 mile round trips for the weekly (well, fortnightly) rounds, is just madness - so much for climate change
It's a 5000 mile round trip from Sydney to Perth, but every one think that NRL expansion is good.
Yes, flying creates a carbon footprint, but the effect of flying alone is massively overstated.
Flying and driving will become the preserve of the rich again soon, under the guise of saving the planet.
Stopping TO playing the SL is not part of the solution needed.

| Without wanting to create thread drift, avoiding 1 return Trans-Atlantic trip per year, would save 1.6 tonnes of C02 per year.
You can make the same saving by switching to green energy.
Or, you can save 58.6 tonnes of C02 by having 1 less child in your family!

Sorry mate but, the inclusion of a club 3500 miles away in a "European" league was mad from the outset, regardless of climate change.
As a Super League Club, they are exempt from just too many aspects of the game.
Being classed as European as far as quote spots, in itself is just daft and that's only the tip of the (melting) ice berg.
Reserve sides, junior sides, quota spots, any meaningful player development etc, etc, etc.
Just a (very) rich mans play thing

| All valid arguments worthy of discussion, but stop trying to make it about saving the Earth or stopping climate change. It's not.

As I said, even without that element, it's still mad.

How would you know? You didn't follow Hayne's reception in the USA. I did. You just emote because you have acquired no evidence to argue with.

| We should cancel rugby league altogether. Too many people driving cars to games/training/anything related to rugby league. Plus the amount of meat the players eat.
It's contributing to climate change.

| The climate change situation, must be why Toulouse might not be attending the Summer Bash in Blackpool !
Toulouse to snub Summer Bash
Net year’s Summer Bash could be missing two teams as Toulouse Olympique prepare to stage their own event that weekend, report League Express.
The French club are set to be absent from Bloomfield Road in 2020, with Toulouse opting for their own mini ‘Magique Bash’ at their new Stade Ernest Wallon Stadium home, according to League Express.

Spot on, we have a fan called Belly could do something or other who swears this is massve.
Let's get this straight, nobody in Canada knows who SWB is, they barely know who the Wolfpack are and this meeting of the two registers 0.0000009 on the news scale in Canada.
If they were to go for a gimmick signing then surely some mid-range NFL/Candian league player would do better, someone they may have heard of. Won't matter much as I suspect SBW will barely play anyway and just trouser his pension.
