I also think that we need to get our house in order first. How does bringing a club into the league from Canada stop crowds from dropping at the elite clubs?
Let's fix our problems before we look at introducing teams from Timbucktoo and beyond.'"
A covid free 2020 season with Toronto playing in Super League would have added some sparkle and fizz to the sport.
Only time would have told whether that fizz was Champagne or Pomagne.
Sadly we will never know. One thing I do know.... this sport is in a pretty dire downward spiral (even before Covid). There will be casualties.

And actually competed fairly well in SL. Any other year they would have stayed up with that amount of points. If you're looking for a team to be SL ready in such a short period, they're the best bet IMO. Not sure how much the squad has turned over but I think a lot of it was down to Danny Ward, who is still there of course. Whoever does come up should be exempt from relegation for a year though IMO due to the short time available to them to prepare a competitive squad.

I disagree, If you look at squads its a shootout between Leigh and Toulouse and they also have the facilities ready also, Londons squad has been decimated
