Mr Plow Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Why do some people hate Toronto so much? I don’t get it, this could be a huge step in growing the game, isn’t that what we all want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly jealousy , obviously within the Leigh ranks there was the initial player and coaching staff movement , which would have been the same whoever of had been , as I've questioned in the past , if Argyle had bought Leigh as was reported he'd offered to do , what exactly were his intentions ? , One sure we ( Leigh ) fans would have been very happy to be purchased by a billionaire , but if as I suspect , he'd have moved the club to Canada leaving us in L1 as a UK base and feeder club , we might have been a tad upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that it’s really exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 The majority were very keen for Toronto to get promoted Mr Plow, it could be a game changer for Northern Hemisphere rugby league. There are a few vocal Luddites about but just ignore them, they’re the sort of people who’d find something to moan about if you gave them a winning lottery ticket.

Gerrumonside ref Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 To be fair Toronto have got to where they are through results on the pitch. I want them to do well because I envision a separate NA division within a ‘Western’ conference if Ottawa, New York and Montreal can follow their example. That might alleviate some of the travel concerns for the rest of Northern Hemisphere RL - plus I love a good conferences thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear and jealousy are terrible things. They give you ulcers and ulcers make you ill. The flat cappers and whippet walkers need to wake up to the fact that Rugby League playing numbers are on the slide in the M.62 corridor and the games needs to expand to increase playing numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiH68 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Because... because.... NO AWAY FANS! (As opposed to the thousands that travel a few miles down the M62 from places like Huddersfield every week, and despite the fact they get bigger home crowds than some existing SL teams). But still.... NO AWAY FANS ... I can’t believe you haven’t learnt the mantra by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Montreal has been mooted but I’m just floating it as a possibility. Summer rugby league in Florida? Would it be safe even for our incredible athletes?

Brian McDermott just said on TV that Super League can’t grow if it continues to be competed for by Northern towns and not big cities like Toronto, so clearly they see themselves as saviours!

You’re putting words in his mouth there. He’s not saying saviours but what he’s saying is factually correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
