Harry Stottle 2,246 Report post Posted October 5 I don't know the answer:- SL have said that for all member clubs from 2019 it is complulsory to have a reserve team, is that still the case or have the rules been changed? Obviously I am asking that if Toronto gain promotion tonight, will they be held to that decision or given dispensation, does anybody know the answer, has it been mentioned elsewhere?

Whippet13 492 Report post Posted October 5 It'll be whatever rule applies to Catalans and I understand they aren't running one. However, IF Toronto get promoted then I don't see why they wouldn't want to run a UK based reserves team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melbourne Storm have feeder clubs based in different states, Toronto could end up with a similar setup. Edited October 5 by Sir Kevin Sinfield 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats interesting, I didn't realise that through the period of no reserve SL teams Catalans were the only club to continue to run one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As it's been discussed on numerous threads already it seems strange that you sought the need for this 'genuine' question on tonight of all nights.

Sir Kevin Sinfield 1,068 Report post Posted October 5 Sunshine Coast Falcons and Easts Tigers are both based in Queensland but feeder clubs for Melbourne Storm At the end of the 2010 NRL season the Victorian club Melbourne Storm announced an alliance with the Tigers as a feeder club for their NRL side. The partnership with Brisbane Easts Tigers allowed the Melbourne Storm to tap into the Tigers' recruitment and development systems in Queensland, as well as providing a club for young Queenslanders recruited by the Melbourne Storm to play at and develop without having to relocate to Melbourne. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So whats the answer if I knew I wouldn't ask, I don't think that you know either, I will take it if you do not reply with a statement issued by the governing bodies you definatley don't know and you have just been cackling on again for fhe sake of it, hope I am wrong as I said I am genuinely interested to be educated in the matter.

Toronto aren't members of the RFL or SL. They are guest participants, with no votes, no funding and no obligation to do anything but compete in the competition they are invited to compete in. Does that help? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just Browny 6,667 Report post Posted October 5 I hope Rugby League Cares can do something for those people who will take Toronto's promotion particularly badly. 3 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
