Lol problem is when you move between wigan Leeds Hudds etc you don't have to up sticks and move house. To play in london it's not really commutable is it? Upping sticks and moving the family lock stock is financially a massive ask for a rl player or any of us whippet strokers to manage. Remember we lost Paul Sykes because of the same reason many years back, his family were still up north.
Re Toronto, anyone know how they run things? Has anyone said they will get the grouping of games like last season? Do the squad decamp to Toronto as a whole group for that 4 weeks? Where do they base themselves when in the uk
I know as the season went on the accommodation for the visiting teams dropped in standard, some clubs complained being in what was student accommodation at the end.

£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

Sorry.......WHAT? GENUINELY.......WHAT T F ????????
ScenarioContracted player wants to leave? PROFESSIONAL SPORTS Club OK.....Why? PlayerBecause I am Homesick.........I miss my family. PROFESSIONAL SPORTS Club OK.....Off you toddle....but if you sign for a club further away from "homesick central", we will come after YOU for compensation......but enjoy your time with your family.
That would be how a business minded club would have done it.......Bitching about it afterwards because you were duped is how a child reacts!!
As for the RFL........If they had an ounce of backbone they would step on shindigs like this NOW....
you are right but also trust between player and club comes into it. LB in their ignorance trusted and Ackers was dishonourable. I would like to think we would learn from these things but we dont
