Wow! You'd think everything would be finalised and signed prior to a press release.

wow seems like a grab for power by the 4 men in the picture, you would think somebody would have called them out would you not.

whole thing is a farce, can see super league breaking away from RFl and an aussie style league war.

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

DELICIOUS IRONY.......absolutely! MASTERCHEF DELICIOUS!!!!

SL Chairmen voted 7 to 5.......40% but that's not fair.

YORKSHIRE votes for Brexit and wins by a gnats hair (4%)and it's "what the people want".........JESUS I am glad I left the UK.......knuckle draggers rule and applications to move to NZ/AU/USA/CANADA are up 78%......

so your happy to let Lenahghen and mcmanus rule the roost, then fair enough crack on. its not really about hetherington is it, it seems to be about 3 clubs gragging the power, and some sheep clubs going along with it as they have been promised to get more money and guaranteed super league place, taking the bag of silver to sell out the whole game. but as none of us know the full facts and nor are we Likely to has the clubs that have voted for this don't even know what they have voted for, so as we have it super league clubs scrap one system without knowing what they are replacing it with, but voted to keep all the tv revenue for themselves. so as above has said sounds like brexit all over again.
hopefully the full facts will come out soon, everyone wanting to beet Hetherington but he may be the sane voice in a room of madmen. we shall see.

Worth listening to Neil Hudgell's comments on BBC Radio Humberside. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p069wnz2 - gives a lot more depth of context.

Seems to me that Hetherington & RFL are trying to cling to power of a sport they've overseen the decay of, whilst every other SL owner/chairman is looking to actually push the sport forward. Given the extremely quick and positive statements from every other club than Leeds, I'm not sure why people think this is a grab for power by JUST Lenaghen and McManus, just because they attended the press conference (also people are conveniently ignoring that Moran was there too...).
