Paul Cooke's view on Torontohttps://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Paul-Cooke-Toronto-project-deserves-chance/story-29253881-detail/story.htmlrl

Well fancy that ... someone in rugby sees an opportunity down the line for future employment and trips to Canada.

Pessimists, often realists misnamed by the way, DO admit when they are wrong.
In fact they fooking LOVE it when things work out better than they anticipated.
So stick that in your pipe Paul then go crawl under your own stone ... INDEED!!!

You don't have to live under a stone to know insulting the opposition is a poor way to persuade folk to agree with you.
And in no way wins an argument.

I hope the experiment works ... but it is SO artificial it can't without being subsidised at the expense of the majority.

This is just another reason why i don't bother any more.

Oh yeah?
This being the main one I suppose?

I think i'm right in saying Toulouse pay the travelling expenses for all visiting teams to Toulouse.
The SL 'experiment' in London has failed. The Broncos/Quins or whatever you want to call them were a flop. Crowds were poor which must have hit the RFL hard. It looks like the expansion plans within the UK are limited so the RFL feels there is more scope for expansion further afield.
Crowds at the Donny league level are also poor so the atmosphere amongst the mainly local crowds aren't exactly electric. The crowds at Toulouse so far this season have been pretty good with attendances between 1200 to 2400 which i'm sure Carl or John the chairman can only dream about...
COYD.
