TIWIT 1,266 Report post Posted January 27 3 minutes ago, Marty Funkhouser said: No problem, "the level" is home and away each week starting February...and a salary cap that applies to each member club...amongst many other things. 'Other things' such as an equal share of the TV money? And visiting teams paying their own travel expenses? Those kind of things? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uvam Acerbam 25 Report post Posted January 27 7 hours ago, The Hallucinating Goose said: Compared to other sports in the UK rugby league is celebrated as being a family sport. Take us for example, the kcom is in a park and for weekend games we always out on a fanzone with rides for the kids and other child orientated activities, generally a small fairground type thing for a couple hours before the game, even had some people from the local bird sanctuary come with some birds of prey once. Got me some pics with the owls! No rides or birds in TO. We just have half price beer for the kids. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We shouldn't confuse Operational Rules with commercial agreements for entry into the comp. Operational Rules are written and can be found on the RFL website.

In a thread where the club and fans are demanding to be treated differently, I admire your campaign to be treated exactly the same as all the other clubs. Of course that would mean no dispensation. The reality is that not all clubs and situations are the same, and agreements, dispensations etc. Will be made. Like the exemption of Canadian players on the quota for TWP. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be best if no Canadians counted on anybodies quota Dave , unlikely to see any in the short term be up to SL standards , not sure how it works with visas , but a better chance of any NA Union converts ' blooding ' themselves in the lower tiers or even NCL level initially 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLegendOfTexEvans 2,358 Report post Posted January 27 I cant see anything on the CBC Website about Toronto. Guessing that relationship has ended? Certainly nothing looks like it is getting re-broadcast. Anybody know if Toronto's games are going out in Canada and if so what networks? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whichever territories play in the pyramid should have their nationals exempt from quotas. However the risk with standardising quotas is where we see clubs have none of their nationals in the squad and maybe be an issue for the national side. I. E. Should we demand that Catalans have French players in their squad, or should they be allowed to have as many Europeans and North Americans as they like? Does SLE have international player development as one of its objectives or do they just want the best players in the world playing in the comp, no matter where they are from, like the Premier League?

Thats because the players actually live in London! A 5% increase, if granted, would be generous given that 4 months is the window available for home games in Canada and, if the players are actually there all the time, 4/12 is a third, which is less than half (of London weighting). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toronto in future years need to sort out their imports The chase guys are way too old Your imports are average As someone else said it made sense you overpaid them to win the championship but they don't deserve the wages That Cronulla guy on 500k for example I'd be trying to get some better halves like Hastings or for example Anthony Milford or jack bird or.even Josh Reynolds Maloney would've been an excellent buy Get Cameron Smith for a few years he would be amazing.
