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.

| Quote ="Call Me God"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
'"
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 ?

| So two of the four semi finalists are only there because they’ve had easy games?
If only Leigh had been given easy games all the way to the semi final.

Some posters, myself included, were tipping McNamara to turn Catalans fortunes around and get them a top 8 finish.
Those posters were labelled delusional by others who have now stopped commenting on Catalans form.

If I stated that Leeds Rhino's played at Headingley you'd disagree with me, you are so annoying.....do you realize this luv ?
And you wonder why Leigh fan Tez Kelly has sent you naughty messages.

Toronto Wolfpack have been based in Manchester since the start of pre-season. All of their away fixtures have been played in a row and now they are off to Toronto, where they will base themselves whilst their opposition will climb off a plane and be expected to play inside 48 hours.....that in itself is lopsided....even if they weren't based 5 hours and multiple time-zones away.
Toronto want to pay in a euro comp, so they should be made to play the euro way, home and away an alternate weeks.....the school ground they found OK for Swinton should have been used for all their home games from March onwards......they should have been made to pay for Toulouse to travel to Toronto....nothing about their "leg up" is a fair and balanced offering......the clamour to get them into SL is vomit inducing.....and it will all end in tears because yet again it is badly thought out and a "quick fix" scenario.....the hope is that Argyle will be able to sell the game to more people with a 9 week run of home games and maybe not have to give so many away, but even then, they are not a sustainable economic entity.....their overheads next year will be huge......I'd say they'd need £6,000,000 to break even.......if not more. The SL clubs will not accept any more favours being done unless there is no chance of relegation......and what will Argyle do if his side are in the bottom 4 next year?

You come back with answers like this when you're stuck... when you know you're wrong.
Like I said yesterday and Call me god has said - the idea for Toronto to have a SL side is not sustainable.

Just because you say it, does not make it so...time will tell...please observe us from the bleachers and we will show you how it is done....in this you and many of the others see an impassable mountain, full of pit falls and obstacles....to us it is simply a small mole hill easily conquered...WATCH US GO!

The thing is despite all the money spent, the squad is pretty mediocre... I'd say only 4/5 are SL standard.
