No dog in this fight, but that is .

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg

I was going off Wikipedia, I checked again and the list is actually districts and includes all 32 London boroughs separately, so yeah a bit off, the point remains though.

Really hope that this venture can be a success, but.... and this has probably been mentioned, but I don't think RL's domestic structure could be less well suited for expansion teams... the middle/super 8s/playoffs are announced with very little notice, so you could have teams having to travel to Canada at a week/fortnight's notice... I think the possibility of teams not fulfilling fixtures may become an issue here... especially for nothing games at the end of the season. If your part-time club with nothing to play for decides it isn't worth the expense to travel over, it could make a mockery of the whole sport.

[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe.

I suspect they would get kicked out of League 1 if they just decided not to fulfill the fixture like that. To put it another way, I suspect they will be more eager to accommodate Toronto than the majority of the League 1 clubs, given what each party is bringing to the table. Haven't Toronto said they will cover travel expenses anyway?
