Lost by just 4 points in Toronto this season with a poor team, Chisholm had visa problems.
We’ll beat Toronto if we get past Toulouse

At the risk of appearing unpatriotic, I want Toronto to win, because I worry if they lose the final again their backers might start to lose interest, and then the whole north American experiment and expansion scenario could collapse.
On the other hand Toulouse were not really expecting to be promoted at the end of this season. Toulouse are probably two ferocious prop forwards short of winning the Championship. Hopefully they will strengthen their player roster for the 2020 season, especially in the forwards, and get promoted to Super League at the end of 2020.

Depends how it's decided. It's a racing cert that a few chairmen would prefer to see a weaker side promoted, ideally even weaker than London proved to be this year.

| It will be a farce if they are not allowed promotion.
No central funding is a joke in itself.

I don't see this as embarrassing for the SL clubs so much as a real positive for the Championship.
Salford currently don't have a big following ( though hopefully will pick up some more fans after a good run in the play-offs)
Wire fans just finished an expensive month with visits to Perpignan and Wembley,playing Cas for third time this year on a Thursday night. Cas fans had an even tougher prospective evening on a Thursday night.

Jean's only ambition is how does he move out of Leigh where he was born and bred and how does he get rid of the "League Freak" thing - MPD but be a real challenge.

Wakefield didn’t receive any central funding when they were promoted to super league after beating Featherstone in the playoffs. It was only the generous gesture by the other super league clubs at that time, which allowed Trinity to compete. So nothing new re Toronto, although it shows our sport in a poor light.

| Toronto are on fire at the moment and I hope they are promoted they deserve it.
I have spoken to a few players who have all said the same that they're blowing out their after 25 minutes and cant compete, at the moment they look a different team than last year and it will take a big effort from anyone to win there and Toronto would need to have an off day.
Would be interesting to see how much the logistics of it all changes when SL clubs have to go there and how many teams do go on and win there.

Should be interesting if you play at home on a Sunday and the play away @ Toronto on a Thursday night. But I suppose the times of Toronto matches being shown live on Sky is another issue.

Out of curiosity, how do TWP's crowds compare with Huddersfields.

Actually it was the generous gesture of the (then) Northern Ford Premiership clubs who gave up some of their funding to subsidise Wakefield after the SL clubs denied them a share of the SL pot. Wakefield paid back that generosity by voting in favour of scrapping promotion at the first opportunity.

Apologies, I think you are correct about funding coming from the lower division, and I agree with you and also disapprove of the way some clubs voted years ago, some things never change.

| This years play-offs have thrown up the interesting possibilty that a Championship club (in this case Toulouse) having to fly across the world 3 times. Two of those will be in the space of three weeks if they qualify for the Final. I am surprised that they can afford it and would be interested to know if many SL teams could afford it. It seems that the RFL want to cover their own backs by insisting on a levy on some teams entering the Challenge Cup in case the body makes a loss and yet see nothing wrong with requiring Championship teams bankrupting themselves flying around the world.

TWP are currently paying the costs of air travel and accommodation for visiting teams. Their commitment to doing so runs out this year and I would guess that who carries the burden of those costs going forward is one of the main questions coming from SLE with regard to them being admitted should they win the GF.

| The sport is in a bad way if top tier clubs cannot afford to fund a trip to Toronto. This shouldn't be an issue.
What would happen if a WCC was put back on the table where 3 clubs would travel to Australia? They wouldn't do it as its not affordable? That's laughable.
Its ridiculous to think or expect Toronto to pay the travelling costs for visiting SL sides. Championship I understand as they are part time but full time professional Rugby league clubs should be able to pay these costs.
