| Quote ="Canoeman"Well to be honest with you I'm still trying to figure out how this weird 8's things works...I thouht I had it but maybe not. Last year in league 1 the winner got promoted along with the second place team...Okay...but in the middle 8's is it possible for all the 4 Championship teams to go up?....and just where exactly does this Million Pound Game fit in? I don't know....you are asking the wrong person about this.
As per your comments as far as I know Toronto are based in, of all places, Toronto....thats why they are called Toronto. I don't know about SL in bankruptcy but I do know Toronto played the whole first half of the season away and no one in this scenario will even come close to flying and traveling as much as Toronto....if flying is a true disadvantage and Torontos players/team fly by far the most then, logically, Toronto would be the most disadvantaged by far. Just another logistical problem Toronto will have to overcome but we will meet the challenge.'"
It is possible all four could swap but highly improbable.
My guess is that SL will miraculously increase for next year and Toronto and Leigh will both be added to the new 14 team structure.
I know where your team is based, I just don't care. You're simply yet another team like all the rest as it should be in a fairly structured league.
If you make it to the m8s, good luck, but obviously not at our expense.

As works of absolute fiction go, that's a cracker
The vast majority of the toronto squad have been able to live at home with their mothers in the north of England, playing their away games in far flung reaches of Yorkshire. Only their away games v Toulouse and London would have involved more than an hours travel for most of them, meaning that they will have prepared and conditioned for the timezone and weather conditions.
The 10 visiting sides to Toronto, after the cost of toulouse being flown their prevented them actually making the trip, will have all rocked up into a different time zone and different weather conditions, many taking a couple of days off work to do so, to play a Toronto side, again decamped in a time zone and accustomed to the weather.
European sports leagues are a funny thing......we generally have a at home followed by a week away.....but this year, even though the school playing field was considered good enough last month, Toronto have been given another leg up on their quest to buy SL status by not being made to play in Canada one week and england the next...... Whilst Championship chairmen may have rolled over, good luck next year trying to get the fixture list skewed.....that is unless you come armed with a juicy fat TV contract
As for the play-offs. It should be home and away, week in week out......if the Mancunian Canucks don't like it, then why not simply take your ball Hamilton, Boston, NYC and Florida next year....but please do remember to pay all of the suppliers who are owed money first

Again. Another non-relevant and off-topic response designed to get a rise out of someone. I have news buddy......this is a forum to discuss RL issues. All you do is scramble around trying to look smart when you don't have an answer to a straight question. I pointed out the obvious flaw in the fixture schedule and you come back with more inane and unfunny rambling. I asked about the shirt supplier and you ramble about some imaginary issue with tax......ignoring the fact that your side are still wearing the Kit supplied but having not paid for it....you incorrectly claim that ticketing/collection/counting is the job of the local municipal council.....it isn't, but when faced with this, you ramble, babble and generally act like an idiot.....maybe you should audition for a part in the next series of Letterkenny? Whilst you're there, ask what sort of camera angle can make a 4,000 seat stand look empty whilst apparently having 3,000 people in it.......blaming Premier TV for the empty looking stadium is "trumpesque".
btw......I've only been to Leigh once, supporting my side in 2005 and it's a fair bet that I've forgotten more about expansion sides than you'll ever know.

You honestly think I care about how many times you've been to Leigh?....you are so full of yourself you don't even understand...so distrustful.....sad.
Its hilarious...every question on rugby and the TWP you have asked has been answered truthfully but you totally are unable to comprehend that...you constantly resort to personal insult and disbelief, then you change the topic and go on some drug induced rant, like a spoiled child at the fair who gets no candy floss because he is already overweight and it would not be good for him...if you can't handle the truth then don't ask for it...
Your the kind of guy who gets out of his car to argue with the stop sign...CRAZY MAN, CRAZY!!
Get it together Man.
STOP THE HATE!

Well you at least have the guts to come clean after being called out, I'll give you that...unlike some of the others.
I forgive you.
You should come to Toronto for the game....we are hoping for a large group from Leigh and you will be hosted very well....very well indeed!
These differences between the clubs are of the making of Leigh, we will try to help you guys out but I don't know if some of your people will ever be willing to let the Rowley thing go....its not healthy...time to forgive and forget.
All the best and hope you come to Toronto,

| Quote ="Gallanteer"So Toronto get to play all their home games first without any travelling then base themselves in the UK for the rest whilst the others all have to travel across for a single match long distance in these crucial matches that could end up with an SL team on the edge of bankrupcy if they don't perform.
Do you believe this gives Toronto an advantage? League games are one thing, but when promotion and relegation are part of this, is it fair to all teams involved? This isn't an accusation, it is simply asking for your objective opinion.'"
They have been told and its widely available, by the RFL that should they reach the Middle 8's they will have to play the schedule of fixtures accordingly.

TBH that's all I want to hear. I personally think Toronto may get an advantage playing all home games then based in UK for all away games. I don't care where they are based, they are simply a team in a predominently UK/European league so should stick to the schedule. It's not our fault that they've based themselves in another continent. Yes we have to be mindful where possible, but not to the extent of giving them an advantage in crucial promotion and relegation games where players careers are on the line.
With us almost certainly in the m8s again (one thing we ARE consistant at), I'm betting we'll be the first ever SL team to lose away at Toronto. We're good at rubbish firsts (1st to get relegated in million pound game, 1st to get nilled by a huge margin at Wembley, 1st and only winner of challenge cup plate etc)

That was the deal and we should have an expectation that everyone will abide by it and not start to complain like a bunch of spoiled children (seems to be a problem in Rugby League)....if people had problems with this the time to raise any concerns was much earlier. Toronto has been very flexible here to try and make things work for everyone involved....there is a lot of logistical work that had to be done.
Including Toronto filling the till,
and footing the bill!

| Only Toronto have a chance of getting promoted. Leigh probably won't be in the top 4 they 'on paper' they do have BIG GAME players.
Reckon it's between Toronto, Salford & Widnes...but having said that the Vikings take some beating on their rubbish 4G pitch.

| Didn’t you tip semi finalists Catalans for relegation before?
Anyone who finishes in the bottom 4 of Super League is in danger of playing in the million pound game. Any club with an injury crisis during those 7/8 games will be in real trouble this year.

Comedy gold, an absolute classic novella when it comes to fiction, you miss including a shed load of vitally important stuff when it comes to the travelling and climate for Toronto and vice versa for a start off. Couldn't be bothered to read past the rest of what you wrote because it's totally lopsided, incomplete and inaccurate.
You mentioned that most of the Toronto players spend weeks on end in the North, how is that acclimatising yourself to another country, do you know how long it takes for that to happen? As for travelling, the Toronto players DO travel more miles than all the rest, did you forget they travel between Toronto and UK several times a year whereas a team has to travel to toronto once.
We already had the discussion way back when regarding players taking time off and the relative impact this has (not much because again it's ONCE a year), and again the time zone difference is a few hours for single event, this involves changing your sleep/eat habits for a few days before.
It is NOT totally lopsided, the only thing lopsided here is your viewpoint and failure to grasp some basics relating to travel and acclimatisation.

SEMI FINALISTS only because they have had easy games, like Leeds Rhinos have also. But their league form has improved, and they have got some players back from injury.
Most folk were tipping them for relegation a month ago, and for McBanana to get sacked....or did I dream it luv ?
