Quote: Ruddy Duck "Exaactly, you played in the established game of Rugby Union 22 years ago, a code which is more well known in North America and the world as proved by the number of nations that participate in the Rugby Union World Cup.

If our game cannot take off at a professional level in our own country in places like rugby mad South Wales and also Northern France, both of which have been attempted a few seasons ago, what chance has it got in the world of American Football, Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Rugby Union and Soccer of Canada and the USA.

A few years ago, London Broncos started as Fulham, they too were getting large crowds but they started to go down when the novelty and less quality players were signed and I am in no doubt that the same will happen in Toronto and even Ottawa. New York as time goes on.'"


Best that we don't bother, let's stay in the m62 and not bother growing. Best not to try.

I remember the history of League, it started when Rugby Union was 100% of the of rugby option. Maybe that was the first mistake?

If no sanctions are taken against Toronto what's to stop another club Hull , HKR or even Wigan doing the same if it is financially prudent to do so .

Paying SBW the huge wages whatever they are then claiming they can't find 2 million Canadion dollars to compete this year seems a bit hollow to me .

Let's not be silly, we are all want expansion, but we need to expand in our own country and France and other parts of Europe.

At least, they play games on a home and away basis and not in batches!

Prefer batches than playing in -30 in Canada, we play in batches don’t we as we play away for month ever year?

I agree. We always get a run of home games due to not being able to use our home ground for a spell. No different really other than that we aren't based in Canada.

Playing games in blocks is a compromise between them having to travel back and forth across the Atlantic every week which would be too harsh on them and playing all away and then all home as was tried one year which is harsh on other teams who all would face a rested team when having to travel themselves.

Playing games in blocks for a team with the travel, climate and distance issues such as Toronto have is by far the fairest system that could be used. I have never understood why so many people are so vehemently opposed to it. Other than them just not wanting TWP in the league of course.

I'd be the same if Tokyo joined the NRL.

By all means build a league in Canada or North America, but logistically it just doesn't work for a team from Canada to play in the Super League or the English competiton.

They play games in batches when their players stay at home. We have to go there and play them after being there for 4 days, jet lagged and having paid half the costs ourselves.

Toulouse after the semi final last year had to travel back straight away via Gatwick with three injured players. They then got nilled the week after.

It just doesn't work.
