| I was just reading an article by the above who fails to understand why the fate of Toronto was in the hands of teams like Castleford or Wakefield. It should be weighed in favour on the clubs with the most investment like St Helens. He suggests that players do not feel special going to Wakefield or Castleford.
What he should think is why did the owner of Toronto who withdrew from the league at the last minute and left him and his fellow colleagues unpaid. Then we had the business wanting to take over who could not produce an acceptable proposal and tried to force the clubs into reinstating them in SL.

I wonder if players from Wakefield and Cas ever felt special going to Knowsley Road. If only we had got lucky with a developer and a supermarket eh John?

| I do believe more than two clubs voted against Toronto, Mr Wilkin.

| Not sure that the word of someone with a heavily biased view should be taken as balanced.
Not for the first time, Trinity and Cas are singled out for unfair criticism.
ALL of his angst should be aimed at Toronto's previous owner, who decided to stop pumping $millions into an unsustainable project and maybe, he should also take a look in the mirror and question his own judgement, after all, he backed the wrong horse in this race.
Maybe if he had gone to a less fashionable club, he may have been paid for his services.

| Wilkin will have done OK out of the BBC during the CC, while his former team mates received nothing. His opinions are of no importance.

| The man is a bell with an end.
Needs to change his name to Richard Head.
Who gives a flying f**k what he thinks?
The best games are between Wakey and Cas.
I'm sure that all the players are proud to run out and represent either club at either Belle Vue or The Jungle.

| always been a whinger and a 'cheap shot' merchant in my opinion. I'll treat whatever he says with the contempt it deserves.

| Bet Wilkins really felt something special when playing for Hull KR.
Full of his own importance and his words carry very little value when he speaks. Toronto have been as big an embarrassment to Rugby League as Wakefield and Cas have ever been.

| Two of the biggest whingers (not wingers) in Super League have been Wilkins and his Saints cohort Wellens.

I can honestly say, as a Hull fan, I certainly prefer trips to Wakey and Cas over trips to Wigan and St Helens. We seem to get a far superior welcome from the fans.

I would add McGuire, potentially even Brough. I have never liked Wilkin.
