| Quote: UllFC "Still not sure if Wakefield are just bluffing to force their council in to action to keep them in the city. But action does need to be taken about Belle Vue, its gone well beyond a joke.
I also dont think that it is a great idea to be parachuting Toronto in to SL anyway, while they are unbeaten in league1 so far, they havent started travelling yet (based in West Yorkshire) and I think its better for club and fans to grow organically. If they are winning the league easily this year they may play more young Canadians for example, whereas if they were moved straight to SL they'd buy up a load of 2nd rate Aussies at last minute.'"
Am I right in thinking Toronto are playing all early games away as the weather doesn't allow games to be played realistically til May?
If so this surely could never work in superleague?

Why can't it work? No difference to what they are doing in their league now
Besides Wigan and ourselves request bulk matches away around june/July so at least we will be sure of an away fixture then hopefully

Hull and Wigan end up with 4 or 5 away games in a row, they would have to play all there away games first half of the season.
The league they're in will have only played 5 rounds by the time they hit May so it is very different. Not sure how that league works to be honest but looks like they only play half the number of games.

This is rugby league and the RFL we're talking about, there's a bit of me that can see Toronto playing all there home games in Yorkshire somewhere if they get to SL.

no they wont
8-10 away games first followed by the bulk of 4 home games, then an away game followed by another 4 at home until they even out
the 8/8/8s format will be dumped in the next year or after i would expect too

No it's not "end of".
Why wouldn't Toronto work in Super League? So there'll be no away support to speak of but the same has gone for Catalans for years.
Toronto will be getting home crowds of up to 10,000 which would make them one of the top five or six supported clubs in Super League.

| Hi All,
New poster here (long time forum reader), so be gentle with me!
I believe we're entering an exciting time for the sport with the whole Toronto Wolfpack initiative and new, visionary (hopefully) leadership at the RFL. The game has suffered from blinkered parochial self-interest for decades, but I for one feel inspired when I listen to the vision (but pragmatism) of Eric Perez.
Marcel Proust once saidseeing with new eyes.” Add to that my old grandmother's mantra of "where there's a will, there's a way", and what's not to be enthusiastic about!
I have to add that I'm not a (much abused) 'Happy Clapper', but positivity, strong leadership and learning from the past can take our great sport forward.
There - I've got it off my chest!
(ps. I'll still be bricking it as I drive to Wigan tomorrow!!)
