I agree too.

Frank, 9 posts out of 10 you make on here appear to be about this player, Brierley.

Signing a player, who can not even get into the team currently below us in Super League is simply not the answer.

It is a pity really that being able 'to run a bit fast' is not the only attribute required to be a successful Rugby league player. Otherwise we could sign Tom Hanks and play him at 7 in a shirt with 'F.GUMP' on the back and after every game you can return to the posh part of Salford a very happy man.

Well we all have our opinions Harold.

I'll obviously be at Leigh 2morro then on Sunday I will go 2 the Salford v Toronto game. I'll let you know if Ryan has a good game.

We certainly do, and we are all entitled to them.



Please do

Very good signing for Toronto, the home fans will love the imminent try-fest! To the guys who are concerned about Ryan's decisions, probably a better strategy to concentrate on your own. Ryan now has the experience of being a Super League player, which can only serve him well for the future - when inevitably Tornoto will enter Super League. If the funding continues, it appears to be a very exciting time for Toronto RL. And whether you admit it or not, Rowley's style of rugby was pretty good to watch and the majority of rugby league fan's pay to be entertained, period!

Loved Rowley's style of play. Great signing for Toronto. I'd go watching them if the 34X bus stopped there but I don't think it does.

Wish Ryan all the best. Always played his heart out for Leigh. He'll flourish under Rowley's coaching again.

Here here, WYSI.

Happily I am just 45 minutes away from Toronto's stadium although I used to be only 10 minutes drive away. Already have tickets for the first game against Oxford and would not be at all surprised to see Toronto score 100. Will be wearing my Leigh shirt of course!

Charlie & Wysiwyg, you've already heard the news then that Toronto have so much money to burn that they are now hiring professional fans otherwise the pair of you wouldn't be hawking your pearlies so shamelessly.

As well as cash incentives, Chas (btw hope you are well), they are offering bookings at the State Circus of Ontario.

Small Print: Dear Mr Torontan Barrister, Bongser claims innocence through diminished responsibility (unless you take up either idea, in which case the author claims copyright to all the above ideas and is in sound body and mind)

Ryan obviously didn't want to jump back on a sinking ship ... clever lad

Out of interest, do you think the Toronto fans will be happy with such anhialisations- or would they appreciate more competitive games

Could this season not lose the Fan base due to the monotomony of it all

As for the experienced fans it would/is monotonous.The mass majority of Canadian fans will be learning the game regardless of the score.Then from a marketing point of view you have to have success in order to progress.80 nil drubbings is the way to promote success and give the appearance they already a league above the rest to start with.

Quite easy to keep that expectation alive,whilst the learning curve is in place.For me yes Toronto have to show to their fans they can more than compete in this sport,whether they had to go to such expense in building the squad early doors carries the question mark?

I think the fact that their new team is beating an English team (with a famous name like Oxford!) will be a novelty. But it has to wear thin pretty quickly as all sports fans like competition, don't they?
