What a CR@P argument, Melbourne Storm are an Australian Club with largely Australian players, Toronto are a Canadian Club with 1 Canadian who has as far as I recall never played !

Update, they did have a 19 year old Canadian but he has left and gone to Victoria, British Columbia to further his professional career.

No it is not. The promotion will come down to Toronto Wolfpack and Toulouse Olympique. Both of those teams deserve to be in Super League by 2022, to ensure an improved value contract with Sky.

No team deserves to be in SL , it will be earned on the field.

When a club finishes the regular season top of the league and 8 points ahead of 2nd place they deserve and have earned promotion IMO.

The system didn’t provide for that, they missed out because they didn’t win the most important game of the season.

That is because the system is deeply flawed.

I agree with this, so will most Leigh & Fev fans for example !

Thanks for the concession.

& why not ?
I am reasonably educated & intelligent, therefore I recognise when a system does not favour the best team who should rightly be promoted.
Fev were for a period the dominant team in Championship, followed later by Leigh & neither were promoted due to franchising.

Toronto
Bradford
Widnes

What that means for who gets promoted, who knows. Ask me a week before the play offs start. Bradford might be coming up from League 1 but they have the best coach, best crowds and best juniors in the league.

I very much doubt Bradford have the best juniors in the league, maybe 2nd behind Widnes, the under 19s table shows this.

Crowds - Yes
Coach - Possibly
