If my memory serves me well Premier sport ditched a game in the RL World cup they should have broadcast live in favour of some other sport

Where is the negative in the game being on TV ?
I'm with Charlie on this, I don't see it affecting the numbers but it will let others experience the game and our fantastic stadium. If one game will help build the game overseas it's this one.
And on a personal note it's one of the few games I will get to see as it happens (I hope) and not have to wonder now long I will have to wait before it will be uploaded to LCTV.

Lets see what Judge Rinder decides

VL I feel lucky to be able to watch my team at the LSV, but I'm sure exiled Leythers like your good self value every opportunity to watch Leigh and rightly so,for me we should spread the RL word at every chance we have,I know a few exiled Leythers who will be looking forward to such a game,I'm sure a comprimise can be reached.

Rowley,as we well know,coaches his team to play dirty as when he was here. We had the worst reputation for discipline under him. This televised game could well be remembered for all the wrong reasons. He will without doubt try to bully Jamie Acton into retaliation, with his ream of ex Leigh superstars if our players don't get dragged in, I think that our team could save the day

I think this is the perfect time to lay the gauntlet down regarding foreign TV rights money everyone keeps harping on about!

This could be a blessing in disguise.

For whats its worth, I dont think there will be many fireworks (too many friendships on the pitch) possibly the 1 or 2 non ex - Leythers who will be playing

Yes Sky own the rights and its Sky who have given permission for Premier to show Toronto matches excepting the Summer Bash and Middle 8's.

The home and away scenario is not of Toronto's making the owners of the ground dictate when to carry out work and they have chosen the date just the same as Wigan Council are closing our ground at the height of the rugby season.

They are playing at the Magic Weekend at the invitation of The Rugby League.

Jamie Acton will be targeted by every team we play and closely watched by every referee.

Interesting points Scrum.
I have not commented on the Home and away schedule of Toronto for those/these 2 exact reasons.
The ground reno’s benefit Toronto, but are being done by the City at their expense and also on their timescale, so hard for Toronto to raise much of a complaint Andrew really not their doing. I’m sure they are concerned at losing some of the momentum laid last season in growing their fanbase. (Also impossible for the City to do them earlier as the weather is arctic cold that side of the country.)
Secondly we also have a period of time in the season when we do not play home and away as usual due to ground pitch relaying. I’m not sure we gain an advantage from it but we could appear to from the perseption of others.
People in Vancouver have been playing rugby league now for a few years thanks to the efforts of some ex-pats and Aussies, but only now are people outside of that small few starting to ask questions and show interest. That is because of Toronto.

I understand that Acton will not be in the squad for the Toronto game
