Ackers signing by Toronto, confirmed by Sky.

Why is early Feb and march a non starter? There pitch has an inflatable cover that goes over it, keep it covered when the snow is falling then drop it for the games. Put money on Akers gets more time in wigan with his family playing for Toronto than he did with london.

You can't blame the lad.He can't keep paying for his digs,

so do FANS but hey what does that matter

As for batch of games in Canada, I think they played in batches of 4 does that not equate to one month?
I would hope that next year the fixture list is as it should be, not with Toronto getting groups of games home and away.
I suspect however the RFL will bend to what they want it's the bright new hope for the sport don't forget

Let us not beat around there. Andy Ackers has been tapped up by Toronto. He should have come out and done the decent thing and said that he had had a good offer from Toronto and wished to leave.
To use the old, London is too expensive, I miss my family and then sign for a club that plays on a different continent is rather pathetic.

Absolutely gutted to lose these two players but I thank them for their time with us.
Hope William goes on from strength to strength at his new club, he's got such talent.
Wonder if we could tempt Brad Dwyer back to London again?

I am sure I saw that Dwyer has sgned for Leeds.

Really disappointed to lose these two players, they have been important this season and we were still no quite there, like others to say about wanting to return home and join a club on the other side of the world, is a big let down.

A shame that the club or player or both had to bull us.

But Akers is not leaving to go live in Toronto

So just tell the truth! Ackers is taking a great career opportunity that allows him to spend a bit more time (not a great deal more) up North. I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem with the released on compassionate grounds bull. You might believe that Ackers completed a deal from start to finish with Toronto one day after his release. I don't.

I don't think anyone thought he asked to be released to go work in b and q he was released because he wanted to be closer to home.
Playing for london he spent Feb to Sep in london with the odd break here and there. Playing for Toronto Feb to Sep he will spend at least half that time at home with his family, can't see what's wrong with that.
